Bottom Line: 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 Roadie 24 has best in class (20-25qt) insulation
The taller shape is more convenient when packing a car, and is helpful as a seat or a table when camping
The hinges stay open and the latches are far easier to open than the competition
Cons:
Because it’s taller, you need to layer the contents—if you need something at the bottom, you’ll have to plunge your hands into the ice and dig around for a while
It’s not air-tight, meaning water will likely leak if this is tipped over
