Setup and First Use
Pre-Chilling for Optimal Performance
For maximum ice retention, it is recommended to pre-chill your Roadie 24 Cooler before loading it with contents. Place a sacrificial bag of ice or several YETI ICE packs inside the cooler for a few hours prior to use. This lowers the internal temperature of the cooler, ensuring your main ice supply lasts longer.
Efficient Loading
When loading your cooler, aim for an optimal 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio by volume. Fill any empty spaces with additional ice, YETI ICE, or even towels to minimize air pockets, which can reduce ice retention.
Operating Instructions
Securing the Lid
Always ensure both QuickLatch mechanisms are fully engaged to create a tight, airtight seal. This is crucial for preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering, thereby maximizing ice life.
Transporting the Cooler
Utilize the HeftyHauler Handle for comfortable and balanced transport. The handle is designed to support the cooler's weight, even when full. For vehicle transport, the slim design allows it to fit behind most driver's or passenger's seats.

Maximizing Ice Retention
To prolong ice retention, keep the cooler in a shaded area whenever possible. Minimize the frequency and duration of lid openings. The Roadie 24's internal height is specifically designed to allow standard wine bottles to stand upright, preventing spills and optimizing space.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
After each use, empty all contents and clean the interior and exterior of your cooler with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. For stubborn stains or odors, a solution of baking soda and water can be used.
Drying and Storage
Allow the cooler to air dry completely with the lid open to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors. Store the cooler in a cool, dry place, ideally with the lid slightly ajar for continued ventilation.
Gasket Inspection
Periodically inspect the freezer-quality gasket around the lid. Ensure it is clean and free of debris or damage. A clean, intact gasket is essential for maintaining the cooler's airtight seal and optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Poor Ice Retention
- Pre-chill: Ensure the cooler was pre-chilled before loading.
- Seal Check: Verify that the QuickLatches are fully engaged and the lid gasket is clean and undamaged.
- Lid Openings: Minimize how often and how long the lid is opened.
- Fill Volume: Ensure the cooler is adequately filled with ice and contents, leaving minimal air space.
Unpleasant Odors or Stains
- Deep Clean: Clean the interior thoroughly with a mixture of baking soda and water.
- Ventilation: After cleaning, leave the lid open for an extended period in a well-ventilated area.
- Baking Soda: For persistent odors, place an open box of baking soda inside the closed cooler for a few days.
