3 Reasons You Don’t Need to Season a New Cooler

Seasoning is a myth Modern rotomolded coolers like Yeti and RTIC perform perfectly out of the box. The idea comes from old metal coolers or forum posts, not reality.

The cooler needs no break-in The gasket seals fine after a few uses, and the insulation doesn’t need to settle. There’s nothing to prepare.

Pre-chilling is what actually works Toss a bag of ice or frozen water bottles in the cooler an hour before packing. A cold interior won’t steal energy from your drinks.
