"Pelican 65QW cooler delivered with numerous scuffs, scratches, and a large black stain deep in the white of the inside of the cooler which does not come out. It was disappointing to see this in such an expensive product."
"The cooler worked well inside our vehicle and kept the food cold. The 24 pound bag of ice melted inside the cooler. the vehicle with the cooler was parked outside in Portland, OR. Really liked the latching system."
"The cooler quality feels very nice but the inside feels smaller than 65qt. my 55qt cooler from Walmart fits more items."
"Fabulous cooler. I am happy all the way around. My main reason for buying is the 10 day ice keep! Also, the bear-safe structure is another huge plus. I am very happy this is wheeled! Great quality and holds what I want. However, it does NOT come with the dry basket on top, but the Yeti does come with it. For the price, Pelican should include the basket!!"
"When I started shopping for coolers I looked at Cabela’s, Yeti, and Pelican coolers. The Yeti just seemed to be a cooler that was overpriced and the warranty demonstrated that it was an inferior product. The Cabela’s cooler used to carry a lifetime warranty, but they changed when they were bought out. Pelican’s cooler is lifetime warrantied, and the cooler’s toughness demonstrates that. I originally purchased a 150 QT for my family lake trips and other traveling we might do. After receiving that cooler, I quickly found out it didn’t fit in the back of my tonneau covered truck. I spoke with customer service and they helped me arrange a return. I was so grateful, and felt so bad for returning such a large and cumbersome cooler. I told the CSR, that I loved the product and would definitely order an 80 QT. I eventually decided on the 65 QT, because it was even more portable than the 80, and I felt with my soft cooler our needs could be met. I love this cooler, and I look forward to my lake trip in the next few weeks. Thank you Pelican for everything!! Your customer service and your cooler are above and beyond!!!"
"Overall very happy with my purchase the cooler held ice for 4 days, the locking latches are great, securing everything in. It is a bit heavy but the wheels make it easier to haul around. definitely recommend this heavy duty cooler. ."
"It came damaged in a box which was not pelicans fault. But when I took the sticker off of the front of the cooler, it was nice and white. But the whole cooler was discolored and blotchy with tan. But they did send me a new one. Just havent received it yet. Once I receive it and all is good I will definitely give it five stars cuz I know it will be nothing but stellar. Everything I own is pelican and never had an issue and Im sure this wont be either"
"Have not used yet, looks very nice extremely heavy duty"
"Iced this BIG BOY up and it lasted for DAAAAAYS, even with the lid open for hours on an 85deg. day, in the direct sun. My only criticism is the full weight, but I did know that when I bought it. I will be making a cart. Would recommend, Would buy again, TOP notch quality."
"The thing’s built like a tank, looks awesome, and holds ice for more than a week. Made in USA. Holds more than enough silver bullets to get me through the camping trip. 10/10"
