The Pelican 8QT Personal Cooler is praised for its quality and size, making it ideal for daily carry and jobsite use. Customers appreciate its all-day cold retention and dry storage compartment, though some find the latch difficult to open and the ice pack insufficient. The tray is valued for keeping sandwiches cool without getting wet.

"Solid Cooler, however, it slid out of my golf cart on 7/29, and it does leak. It was an accident, so I don’t intend on tipping my cooler over just for the sake of flipping it on its side. I am still satisfied with my purchase. I just loaded 5 water bottles & 2 12oz gatorades. 1 water bottle has to be leaning, but once again, I am safisfied."
"I do heavy field work with U. S. Customs and Border Patrol. The heat out here is intense at times and I was in need of a good cooler/lunch box for my food and hydration. This thing is durable and really holds up to the constant throwing around and rolling around in the truck. I loved the ice pack that comes with it, for being that size it does help keep my sandwiches or snacks nice and cool for the duration of my shift. Same with the ice, it retains it very well. I truly recommend this cooler and have no complaints, Pelican knows what they’re doing."
"It works, but a little small inside. Cant fit a sandwhich container and a banana in with the added tray on top"
"Love the colors (beige n blue)! Love the design with the basket on top! Blown away by added feature of the ice pack! Perfect for meals at work whether at the office or Doordashing. It's going to save me money on going out to eat. Love the dry goods holder. Best cooler ive ever owned, even if first higher end cooler ive ever owned. Seems very sturdy. Only improve would be to get those cup holders able to hold cans or 12oz cups a little tighter. Groove is shallow. Love this cooler so far. Perfect size for a full meal and snacks."
"Perfect daily lunch box. I use it everyday and it keeps everything nice and cold. It takes a beating sometimes and has never broke. Also love the sage color as well."
"So i got this cooler to take on the golf course. . it works great for 18 holes and fits in the rear cart basket perfectly. Its kept my drinks and snacks cold when it was 98 outside. Its not gonna retian ice for days but it definitely will for a long afternoon! Easily held 8 cans and a few snacks"
