Cold for Days on Day Trips with the YETI Roadie 24 Hard Cooler
Big hard coolers keep ice for days but they're a two-person lift — overkill for a day at the beach.
The YETI Roadie 24 brings YETI's serious insulation down to a size that actually suits day trips. It's designed tall and slim to fit behind a car seat and to hold bottles upright, with a comfortable handle for one-handed carrying.
It holds ice for days like its bigger siblings, but it's light and compact enough that you'll grab it for an afternoon out, not just a week-long expedition.
Days of ice retention
Thick insulation and a tight-sealing lid keep ice for days, well beyond a typical day-trip esky.
Fits behind a seat
A tall, slim profile slots behind a car seat and holds bottles upright instead of lying flat.
Easy one-hand carry
A comfortable, sturdy handle makes it genuinely portable for one person on the move.
Tough YETI build
Rugged construction shrugs off the knocks of car boots, beaches and campsites for years of use.
Best for
- Day trips
- Beach days
- Behind-the-seat storage
- Solo carry

Our final opinion
The Roadie 24 is the YETI for people who found the big ones impractical. It keeps the legendary ice retention but in a size you'll actually use day to day.
It's a premium price for a small cooler, but if you want one esky that's tough, holds ice for days, and is easy to carry, it's a standout.
