At Tejano Adventures, we know that the right gear can make or break a trip. Whether you’re heading deep into the Texas Hill Country or planning a solo scout past the state line, your cooling needs change with your destination. Today, we’re breaking down two fan favorites: the YETI Tundra 45 and the RTIC 8 QT Road Trip Cooler.
The Heavyweight: YETI Tundra 45 $325.⁰⁰ for Navy
If your adventure involves a truck bed full of gear and a three-day weekend at Lost Maples, the YETI Tundra 45 is your anchor. It’s built like a tank with rotomolded construction, meaning it can double as a step-stool or a casting platform on the boat. With its PermaFrost Insulation, you aren't just keeping drinks cold; you're preserving your harvest or camp meals for the long haul.
The Quick-Strike: RTIC 8 QT Road Trip $55.24 for Marine/Fresh Mint
Sometimes, "less is more." For a solo drive from Uvalde or a quick afternoon at the river, you don't want to lug 25 pounds of plastic. The RTIC 8 QT Road Trip Personal Cooler is designed for the front seat. It’s lightweight, fits 12 cans, and features a lid-lock handle that prevents spills even on the roughest backroads.
