"Best quality out there!"

I love this cooler

"This is awesome. Exactly how they describe it. I have other pelican cases and this is another addition. Yeti is way overrated"

— Brian W. (5/5)

Exceeded expectations

"Made the investment in a cooler built to last a lifetime and it did not disappoint. Filled it with 40lbs of ice on Monday afternoon before leaving for vacation, loaded it with the essentials, about half being room temp water and soda. Kept ice close to the entire week, Friday morning only water left but still felt ice cold. If I didnt drain most of the water Wednesday going to the beach Im sure there would still be ice on Friday. The steel braided line attached to the drain plug gives you that extra peace of mind that its not going anywhere. Definitely built to last a lifetime, Ive been recommending to all my friends and family."

50Qt

"The cooler was received well very heavy duty and well constructed. Cooler is very functional. The only issue i have is. It dosent keep ice longer than 2-1/2 days. I was a little disappointed, considering the price."

Works great. Not greatly portable.

"This was my first foray into a cooler of this caliber and all I can say is that its a beast. It works well, is designed well (latches, etc), and is obviously a high quality build. Its bigger and heavier than I expected, but, again, Im a noob. This 50 qt model would be perfect on a boat. Less so for jaunts to the park or beach where you have to transport it, particularly when its full. No regrets, though. Itll last a lifetime. (with guarantee). Ii love it."

Great cooler great customer service

"The 50qt was way bigger than I expected. Like wayyyyy bigger. They made the return easy and I went and ordered the 30qt still big but can be carried by one person. Very solid coolers but more important is that they are made in the USA."

Best cooler on the market.

"This is the third Pelican cooler I’ve purchased over the last 10 years, and all have exceeded my expectations. I have told everyone that will listen when looking for a cooler Pelican is the only way to go. Thank you all at Pelican for making a great product and for standing behind it as far as warranty and support."
