The High 'N Dry Basket for RTIC Ultra-Light 52/72 & Coleman Steel Belted Coolers

Big coolers are built for big adventures, but digging through 50 quarts of ice to find a soggy sandwich is a challenge no one wants. Whether you are packing the RTIC 52 Ultra-Light, the RTIC 52 Wheeled, the massive RTIC 72, or the classic Coleman 54 Steel Belted Cooler, organization is key.

The Above Sea Level High 'N Dry basket delivers the ultimate solution for keeping your provisions accessible and dry. Unlike standard solid plastic trays—which often trap humid air and create puddles of "cooler sweat"—our open-wire grid design promotes 360-degree airflow. This keeps your internal temperature consistent while ensuring moisture drips down into the ice where it belongs, keeping your bread, fruits, and dry goods perfectly crisp.

Pro-Grade Durability for Serious Coolers

We know that accessories for the RTIC Ultra-Light and Coleman Steel Belted series need to be as tough as the coolers themselves. That’s why we ditched the flimsy plastic found in generic dry goods trays for high-tensile, powder-coated steel.

Whether you are dragging the RTIC 52 Wheeled down a rocky path or tossing the Coleman 54 into the bed of a truck, this basket won't crack, bend, or rust. It is a "buy it once" accessory designed for the lifetime of your gear. If you are looking to fully optimize your setup, this is the most durable dry goods tray on the market.

FAQ

Why is this better than the plastic tray included with some coolers?

The wire design is superior to plastic trays because it prevents "swamping." Solid plastic traps condensation against your food, while our steel grid allows that moisture to drain instantly, keeping dry goods actually dry.

Does it interfere with the cooler lid?

Not at all. It is designed to sit flush on the internal accessory ledge of the RTIC 52/72 Ultra-Light and Coleman 54 models. This allows the gasket to seal perfectly so you don't lose any ice retention.

Can I fit two baskets in my cooler?

Yes! The High 'N Dry basket is designed so that two units can sit side-by-side, giving you full-width dry storage across the top of your cooler.

Does this basket rust?

No. We use a high-grade powder coating specifically designed for wet, humid environments to ensure your basket stays rust-free for years of use.

Which specific models does this fit?

This basket is precision-engineered to fit:

  • RTIC 52 Ultra-Light Cooler
  • RTIC 52 Ultra-Light Wheeled Cooler
  • RTIC 72 Ultra-Light Cooler
