YETI Roadie 15L Cooler 'King Crab'

Frequently asked questions

• How long does the YETI Roadie® 15 stay cold?

  That depends on how you use it. Pre-cool the box, fill it at least two-thirds full of ice and open it as little as possible. If you do that, it will easily stay cold for more than 24 hours, even if it's hot outside. The PermaFrost™ insulation (pressure-injected polyurethane) does its job, but it's not magic: if you open it every five minutes, the ice will simply melt faster.
  

• How many cans fit in the YETI Roadie® 15?

  It can hold 22 cans of 300 ml, but without ice. If you really want to keep the contents cold, you fill it with ice and then it holds a bit less. For a day out, that's more than enough.
  

• Do wine bottles fit in the YETI Roadie® 15?

  Yes, but on its side. The interior height is 26.9 cm and a standard 750ml wine bottle is slightly too tall to stand upright. It fits perfectly on its side. If you want to carry bottles upright, consider the Roadie® 24, which is tall enough for that.

• Does the YETI Roadie® 15 keep hot items hot too?

  Yes. The same insulation that keeps cold in keeps heat in. Whether you're bringing soup, coffee, or a hot meal, the Roadie® 15 works both ways.

• Can I easily carry this cooler by myself?

  Certainly. The box itself weighs 4 kilos and features sturdy LipGrip™ handles that stay out of the way but offer a good grip. Thanks to the DoubleDuty™ shoulder strap, you can also carry it hands-free, which is handy if you're also carrying something else. Fully packed, it will naturally become heavier, but with the strap, you have excellent control over it.

• Is the YETI Roadie® 15 leakproof?

  No. If it gets tipped on its side or upside down, liquid will leak out. Keep that in mind if you put it in the car or take it on a boat. If you want a truly leakproof option, the YETI Hopper® Soft Coolers are a better choice.

• Is there a drain plug?

  Yes. The BestDam™ drain plug comes standard. You can drain meltwater easily, without tilting the cooler or spilling. Then just close it back up. Dry ice is also not an issue: the seal allows carbon dioxide gas to escape, so you can definitely use it for that. Just be sure to read YETI's instructions for proper use.
  
  

• How do I clean my YETI Roadie® 15?

  Warm water with some dish soap will do the trick for regular cleaning. If you want a really thorough clean, use a solution of 1 part bleach to 6 parts warm water with a sponge or lightly abrasive cloth. Rinse well, leave the lid open, and let it dry, that's it.

• Is the YETI Roadie® 15 suitable for the beach, fishing, and camping?

  Great for all three. It fits on a kayak, paddleboard or ATV and is light enough to carry to the beach or fishing pier. One thing: don't stand on it. It can handle the weight of most people, but its sleek build means it's easy to tip over if you sit or stand on it.

• How sturdy and durable is the YETI Roadie® 15?

  Simply very sturdy. The rotomolded construction can withstand impacts, drops, and heavy use. The NeverFail™ hinge system with two interlocking pins prevents the lid from breaking or detaching. YETI offers a five-year warranty, which already indicates their own confidence in the product.

• Can I secure the YETI Roadie® 15 to a boat or trailer?

  Yes. The AnchorPoint™ Tie-Down Slots are specifically designed for this. Combine that with the BearFoot™ Non-Slip Feet and the cooler will stay in place even on rough terrain.

• Is the YETI Roadie® 15 suitable for day trips or also for longer excursions?

  It's primarily designed for day trips and half-day trips, such as a day at the beach, a boat outing, or a long car ride. It can also be great for an overnight camping trip, as long as you pre-chill it thoroughly and bring enough ice. If you plan to be out for multiple days regularly, the Roadie® 24 or a larger Tundra® will offer more space and longer cooling time.

• How do you open the YETI Roadie® 15 with one hand?

  The QuickLatch™ system makes it easy. The latch is strong enough to keep the lid closed, but opens smoothly with one hand. Handy when your other hand is already occupied.

• Can the YETI Roadie® 15 withstand high outdoor temperatures?

  Yes. The PermaFrost™ Insulation and Interlock Lid System are designed to keep the temperature inside, even in extreme outdoor heat. Whether you're on the beach on a scorching day or on a boat in direct sunlight, the Roadie® 15 will continue to perform.
