GATR 20 Rotomolded Hard Cooler — 20 qt

The GATR 20 is a 20-quart rotomolded hard cooler for one or two people and a single day: 22 cans plus ice, 19 lb empty, small enough to ride behind a truck seat or on a small boat. Same one-piece build, latches, drain and lifetime shell warranty as the big GATR coolers — $200, free shipping.

Best for

  • Day trips, work trucks and side-by-side rides
  • Small boats and kayak fishing where space is tight
  • Beach days and tailgates for one or two people
  • Corporate and retirement gifts — the size that actually gets used (with a custom pad)

Not the right fit

  • A family weekend — take the GATR 45
  • Multi-day trips or anything that needs wheels — GATR 70 or 110

About the GATR 20

The GATR 20 is the cooler for the days when the GATR 45 stays in the garage. Twenty quarts holds 22 cans plus the ice to keep them cold — enough for two people through a day on the water, a crew in a work truck, or one person and lunch on a side-by-side. At 19 lb empty it carries with one padded handle and slides behind a seat or into a small boat's locker.

What it gives up in size it does not give up in build. It is the same one-piece rotomolded shell as every GATR hard cooler, with foam-insulated walls, a freezer-style gasket, the signature GATR latches and a drain plug sized to a garden hose. The lid carries a 0–14 in ruler, the stainless bottle openers double as locking plates, and the cutting-board divider splits food from drinks.

Ice life depends more on you than on the box: pre-chill it, pack it about two parts ice to one part contents, and keep it in the shade. Do that and a full GATR 20 is a day-trip cooler with a comfortable margin; skip it and no cooler at this size will save you. If you regularly feed more than two people or stay out past a day, the GATR 45 is the size most people should own.

The GATR 20 is also the size we recommend most often for corporate gifting: a MarineMat lid pad with a company logo, cut in our Thibodaux shop, turns it into a corporate gift that gets kept rather than shelved.

Compare: Next size up: GATR 45 (42 cans, 29 lb, $300) — for a family weekend or a full day fishing. See the size guide for the full comparison.

Customize the GATR 20

Add a MarineMat lid pad with your logo, name or artwork — CNC-cut or laser-burned in our Thibodaux shop, front inserts from $40 and lid tops from $80 — or full-color logo printing for corporate orders. You supply the artwork, we send a digital proof before anything is cut. See Custom Coolers With Your Company Logo or order pads directly: custom cooler pads.

Frequently asked questions

How many cans does the GATR 20 hold?

The GATR 20 holds 22 cans plus ice. Plan on roughly two parts ice to one part contents — that is what keeps a day trip cold, not the can count alone.

Will the GATR 20 fit behind a truck seat or in a small boat?

Usually, yes. It measures 21.1 × 13.3 × 14.3 in on the outside, which fits behind most full-size truck seats and in the locker of most bay and jon boats. Measure the space against those dimensions before you order.

Is the GATR 20 big enough for a family weekend?

No. For three or four people over a weekend take the GATR 45 (42 cans plus ice). The GATR 20 is a one-day, one-or-two-person cooler.

How long does the GATR 20 hold ice?

Most owners report several days from a full GATR 20, and up to a week in cooler months. GATR does not print a "days of ice" figure because pre-chilling, shade, ice type, how full it is and how often it is opened change the result more than the cooler does. See our ice retention guide for the five things that decide it.

Is the GATR 20 made in the USA?

The cooler itself is not manufactured in the USA. GATR designs it in Thibodaux, Louisiana, produces apparel and accessories stateside, and does every customization — cooler pads, engraving, printing — in its own Thibodaux shop.

What warranty comes with the GATR 20?

A limited lifetime warranty on the rotomolded shell (lid and base) against defects in materials and workmanship, plus 365 days on wear parts such as handles and drain assemblies. Normal wear, misuse and ice-retention performance are not covered. Claims go to info@gatrcoolers.com with the order number.

Can I put my company logo on the GATR 20?

Yes. GATR cuts custom MarineMat pads for the GATR 20 in its Thibodaux shop — front-insert pads from $40, lid-top pads from $80 — and offers full-color logo printing. Standard turnaround is two to three weeks after you approve the digital proof. Request a quote on the custom shop page.

Can the GATR 20 be locked?

Yes. The two stainless-steel bottle openers double as locking plates, so a standard padlock through the lid and base keeps the GATR 20 shut in a truck bed or on a dock.

Does the GATR 20 ship free?

Yes — every order over $75 ships free within the USA, so the GATR 20 qualifies on its own. In-stock coolers typically ship the same or next business day; customized coolers ship when the custom work is complete.
