YETI Roadie 15L Cooler 'Navy'

Frequently asked questions

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

  That depends on how you use it. Pre-chill the cooler, fill it at least two-thirds with 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 warm 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 holds 22 cans of 300 ml, but then without ice. If you really want to keep the contents cold, you fill it with ice and 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 lying down. The interior height is 26.9 cm, and a standard 750 ml wine bottle is slightly too tall to stand upright. It fits perfectly lying down. 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?

  Yes. The same insulation that keeps the cold in also keeps the 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 are conveniently out of the way yet easy to grasp. The DoubleDuty™ shoulder strap also allows for hands-free carrying, which is useful if you're carrying something else at the same time. When fully packed, it will naturally be heavier, but the strap gives you excellent control over it.

• Is the YETI Roadie® 15 leakproof?

  No. If it gets on its side or upside down, liquid will leak out. Keep that in mind when putting it in the car or taking 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 on it?

  Yes. The BestDam™ drain plug comes standard. You can drain meltwater without tipping the box or spilling. Then just close it again. Dry ice is also not a problem: the seal allows carbon dioxide gas to escape, so you can simply use it for that. Please read YETI's instructions for proper use.
  
  

• How do I clean my YETI Roadie® 15?

  Warm water with some dish soap will do the usual work. If you want to tackle it really thoroughly, use a solution of 1 part bleach to 6 parts warm water with a sponge or a lightly abrasive cloth. Rinse thoroughly, leave the lid open and let it dry, done.

• 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: do not stand on it. It can handle the weight of most people, but its slim build makes it easy to tip over if you sit or stand on it.

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

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

• Can I tie down 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 box stays put, even on moving terrain.

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

  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 used 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® offers more space and longer cooling time.

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

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

• Is the YETI Roadie® 15 resistant to high outdoor temperatures?

  Yes. The PermaFrost™ Insulation and Interlock Lid System are designed to maintain the internal temperature, even in extreme external heat. Whether you're on a scorching hot day at the beach or on a boat in direct sunlight, the Roadie® 15 will continue to perform its job.
