The YETI Tundra 45 is the best cooler for ice retention and insulation of all the coolers I tested. It’s my personal favorite, too, though other brands like RTIC and Igloo can carry a similar amount and have the same versatility. Technically speaking, though—the YETI is the best.

The YETI Roadie 24 is my top small camping cooler. Compared to other hard-sided coolers in the same size category, the Roadie 24 has better insulation and it’s more practically easy to pack into your car and hit the road. Plus, because it’s around three inches taller and three inches slimmer, it makes for a more convenient seat or table-top when camping.

The YETI Hopper M20 is the best-in-class backpack cooler I’ve tested. It’s by far the most comfortable and it also has the best ice retention. But it’s also the most expensive, and depending on your use-case, you might not need something as robust as the Hopper M20. If you want the best of the best, get the YETI backpack cooler. But if your budget is tight, look at Icemule.

The RTIC 20-Can Backpack Cooler gets the job done and the price is right, but for a similar price, there are better options. The zipper is difficult to open and the insulation ability lags behind the Icemule Pro, which is similarly priced.
