Dry Basket for RTIC 52QT Ultra-Light Cooler - Secure, Food-Safe Tray

In this review of the Dry Basket for RTIC 52QT Ultra-Light Cooler, the bottom line is simple: anyone who needs organized, dry storage inside their cooler will appreciate this tray. Designed exclusively for RTIC 52QT and 72QT Ultra-Light models (including the wheeled version), it solves a common problem-items sinking into ice or wire racks-by keeping food, utensils, and electronics elevated and separated. The reviewer found it especially useful for fishing trips, tailgates, and camping where moisture control and quick access matter most.

Key Features

• Perfect compatibility: Built to fit RTIC 52QT and 72QT Ultra-Light coolers so the tray sits securely without shifting during transport.
• Durable construction: Made from solid, BPA-Free plastic to withstand rough outdoor use and resist cracking under weight.
• Food-safe material: The tray is 100% food-safe so it can store ready-to-eat items without concern for contamination.
• Easy maintenance: Dishwasher-safe design makes cleanup fast after a day of camping or a messy picnic.
• Enhanced organization: Keeps smaller items separate from ice and wet contents to prevent soggy food and protect electronics.
• Capacity planning: Fits up to two baskets with room for a divider, allowing flexible organization inside larger coolers.

Who It's For

The Dry Basket is ideal for campers, anglers, and anyone who frequently uses an RTIC 52QT or 72QT Ultra-Light cooler and wants to protect gear and food from moisture. It works well for families packing separate snacks and utensils, or for people who carry electronics and want them elevated above ice.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-compatible cooler models and buyers who want an insulated divider or rigid shelf system rather than a simple tray; this product is a lightweight organizational accessory, not a structural cooler insert.
