Gotta admit we just placed the orders for these the other day I didn’t expect to see them for awhile! Sitting here measuring up a bunch of gator step for the office and the Fed Ex guy starts carrying in boxes.

The stow and goes are harder to drain the water out of but are the best coolers for off-roading in my opinion. They fit perfectly in the back of a rzr and obviously a Can Am (larger bed). I have two of them and it’s what I use.

Felt like bottoms so they won’t scratch a boat.

Colors? Red or yellow? Soft cooler?

The top ones are a soft bag style cooler. The stow and goes are “semi” soft.. the bottom is flexible but retains the shape of the cooler and has a velvet like texture on the outside..

I love ours and they don't fall off rear swim step when floating saving the dread of going back to front of boat.

I have never had one that didn’t leak, the solution is always to take it in and they will fix it, but I shouldn’t have to spend that much money on a cooler and then have it fixed all the time. I gave up on them years ago.

x2. I have 5 sitting in our hanger that I don't use. They all leak. Tried all the tips and tricks. I use the RITC coolers now.

I've avoided buying them, mainly due to all the leaking stories. But I got two last year and haven't had a single issue. Now that I typed this, I hope karma doesn't kick me in the nuts.

The stow and go ones fit perfect under a seat cushion in your new boat. But you have a fridge, lol. It won’t be big enough tho, just sayin.

You have come a long way Dave [emoji12]

I’m surprised it took you this long.
I’ve ordered 4 different custom embroidered coolers from Amber over the years. They all still work great. I order direct to get the “Made in USA🇺🇸“ ones.
My spa cooler for tonight (also my daily lunch box)

I love the AO coolers....I bought a set of the soft sided coolers (small, med and large), in 2003. I have two left and both still work great. My son lost the small one.

I’ve drug those things all over the world in trains, planes and automobiles, and still perfect...never a leak or outside condensation in 18 years of hard use.
I’ll be buying an RDP model.

I used my 35 can cooler as carry on bag when we flew to Hawaii, so I would have a cooler to use, worked out great!

The stow and go is square like the RTIC? If so what’s the size?

I have a carbon series 36 can AO cooler and a 12 pack canvas one and I love them. No leaks for me, but I am not rough with and take care of my stuff.

I remember seeing some pics of people’s AO coolers on here and they were trashed. I’m not surprised they leaked.

Good job on the RDP coolers!

Don't treat them like an asshole and they don't leak.😉

If they do leak, they will fix em for you.

Coolers look great @RiverDave 👍👍

I’m probably on 20 years. 2 sets used for boat and camping. Only leaks I had were from putting empty cans and bottle tops in them. Since then they’ve been good. I prefer the old liners that were more flexible and I think stayed just as cold or longer.
But I’ll keep buying direct and put my logo on, unless Dave’s giving big discounts for advertising. 🤔

I have a few of these.
Only time they leaked was empty crushed cans went into cooler.
I had 2 that were leaking and went to the open house at the new facility and got credit on those towards on of the large hard sided coolers we use when we are out in the camper for days. It kept ice and food cool for 10+ days on our Yellowstone trip, no issues

I just had (2) 6 year old soft bags that had leaks in for relining. They charged me $15 each and shipped them from Corona to Bullhead. The new liner material is much nicer and more flexible so I shouldnt have issues with them cracking in the corners.

I have owned probably 6+ AO coolers over the years and bar none the stow and go is my favorite.

My other ones had leaking issues (probably my fault) but the stow and go has been perfect.

If you take them or send them into AO in Corona, ca they will reline them. They only charge $15 each to ship them back to you.

I reluctantly bought one vinyl 24 pack AO for our RZR. It has been great. I don't throw empties in it, and lay 5 frozen water bottles across the bottom, and it stays cold all day in the back of the RZR.

I just bought the AO cooler (stow and go I guess you’re calling it) for the frunk (front trunk) of my Tesla. Fits perfect as the reviews said it would. Had I known there was an RDP version I would have bought one. When mine leaks I’ll replace it with the RDP version. Lol...
