The Seven Advantages of a fiberglass cooler.

There is a reason fiberglass is used to make boats. Actually, numerous reasons. Same goes for coolers.

// Heat

No Cool-Down Required

Plastic absorbs and radiates heat — absurd for a cold box. Fiberglass reflects it. Superior retention, less ice, no garage cool-down.

// Strength

No Warping

Plastic warps over time and breaks its seal. A Frigid Rigid ice chest won't warp.

// Hygiene

No Stain, No Stink

Plastic is porous — it stains and holds odor. Fiberglass is non-porous, so it stays clean.

// Clean-up

Easy To Clean

Non-porous means mold simply wipes away — a monumental task on a plastic cooler.

// Fit

Customizable Sizing

Each chest is made by hand. 80 sizes, unlimited options — built to fit your space.

// Color

Customizable Colors

A durable gel-coat finish in the color of your choice — match your boat or your team.

// Planet

Sustainable

Fiberglass is mostly glass — made from sand, a natural, abundant resource. Far cleaner than plastic.

Made in the USA since 1980

FRIGID RIGID EXCLUSIVE "Back-To-The-Wall"
Setback Lid

Setback series coolers allow the lid to open even when pushed flush against a wall.

A plastic cooler's lid swings past the back of the box, so you can't open it pushed against a wall — you're forever sliding it out. Our setback allows the lid to open even flush to the wall. Made for the tight quarters of a boat, cabin, porch, or truck bed.

vs

Plastic cooler

Lid hits the wall. Forces you to pull the cooler away from the wall to fully open.

Frigid Rigid

Setback hinge lets the lid open fully — even flush to the wall.

FRIGID RIGID EXCLUSIVE "Slam Stopper"
Lid Shock

Eliminates the chance of a lid slamming shut on your fingers.

Bumped, or caused by wind, wave, or gravity — a cooler lid slamming shut is no fun, and no good for fingers. Our marine-grade stainless gas shock aids the lift and holds the lid open. It pairs with a built-in bottle opener — the Gas Shock + Bottle Opener combo is standard on every Frigid Rigid.

Free-falling lid. One-handed fumble.

Gas shock holds the lid open hands-free.
