Coolers

We probably don’t have to tell you just how sublime the experience of having a cold drink waiting for you at the end of a long and tough ride is. On the flip side of that, nothing feels more disappointing in the moment then opening that cooler after a long work day to see that your poor lunch and/or beverages have been toasting in the sun for multiple hours. You need a solid ATV cooler setup to solve both of these issues consistently, which is where we come in. Whether you run a Sportsman, a Honda Rancher, or any other ATV, keeping your food and bev not only cold, but accessible is a precious commodity in the ATV world.

Buyer's Guide for ATV Coolers: Helping You Shop!

Hard vs Soft ATV Cooler: What’s the Play?

Both ends of this spectrum have plenty of uses for a wide variety of riders. Finding the right cooler for you, emphasis on the “for you,” is all about being able to line up the features/specs each option provides with your specific needs. Starting with hard coolers, they are definitely the better choice when you can’t afford to compromise whatsoever on durability. They will keep ice colder and take harder abuse on longer trips. Soft cooler bags are more compact and weigh less, so they’re easier to bring along when you have a lot of gear competing for cab room. The trade-off is they don’t typically keep contents cool for as long.

Mounting Your ATV Cooler the Right Way

A cooler that’s not well-secured on an ATV is a liability. Hard coolers can do some damage when allowed to shift around during aggressive riding situations. You’ll want to look for coolers and bags that are designed specifically for ATV racks, and make sure to use tie-downs in order to keep it all anchored properly. Cooler rack mounts designed for specific ATV models are even better — they hold the cooler in a fixed position and eliminate any movement on the trail. Combo cargo and cooler setups that integrate with your existing rack system are the cleanest solution if you want everything tidy and secure.

ATV Combo Cooler and Cargo Bags: Two Problems, One Solution

One of the smartest ATV cooler options out there is the combined cooler and cargo bag. You get storage space for gear and an insulated cooler section in a single pack that mounts to your rack. This is a great setup for riders who are already maxing out their rack space and can't afford to dedicate the whole thing to a cooler. Brands like Kemimoto have done a nice job with these combo setups, and they make a real practical difference on longer rides where you need to carry both gear and cold supplies without hauling two separate bags.

ATV Coolers Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my ATV cooler secure on rough terrain?

Always use the right tie-downs and/or a rack mount made for coolers. Use straps and bungees for soft coolers.

How long does ice last in soft vs hard ATV coolers?

A hard cooler from a well-established brand can keep ice cool for a full day or even longer. A soft cooler bag is generally better suited for same-day use.

Can I just use “standard” coolers on my ATV?

You can adapt a standard cooler if you have the right tie-downs, but an ATV-worthy alternative is always going to be better. It will sit flatter and take on those hard vibrations with less damage.
