I loved the super fast shipping!

Great cooler! Easy open and close, keeps beverages nice and cold all week with 20 lbs of ice! Would buy again.

Best cooler on the market

I picked this cooler after hearing about the brands’ warped lids problem. I’m glad I did because Pelican is better in every way. 100% US made, lifetime warranty, better latches, and beefier injection molded design like their gun cases that won’t warp like those roto molded coolers. The only thing I was worried about was the drain plug, but I was happy to find it’s been updated! Now it’s a much beefier cap with a steel cable. No leaks. Pro tip: the latch button can also be released more easily by just reaching deeper under the latch so it’s one movement. My only complaint is that pelican doesn’t sell any hats or shirts so I’m stuck wearing this yeti hat. Unless you guys had a spare one lying around *wink wink*

Bought this pelican cooler because I didn’t want to join the yeti gang. I wanted to support an American made product. My dad has a yeti tundra 45 cooler and this thing is way thicker way stronger and it just looks better and it’s a way better deal don’t get a yeti get a pelican. You will love this thing. The ice it will last you longer than you will need it I can guarantee it. It’s great for those long hunting trips

Looks great but haven’t had a chance to it yet. Our kids have one and they love it.

Looks way better in person and totally everything and more than what I was expecting.

Haven't used it yet - but it's very well built and impressive!

Fits perfectly on top of the Rogue and get this... I put beer in it with no ice at all and it’s still cold after a week! That’s amazing!

Great fast shipping. Great cooler the ice seems to last a really long time. Very satisfied.

Keeps food and drinks cold for long periods of time, latches that are easy for younger children to operate, casing/lid are very durable, divider helps to organize contents for easier access, lighter than other models of the same capacity.

Bought as a gift.... because American made and have used Pelican products for years.

good robustness, I looks little discoloration on hinge areas, I works fine during the first 4X4 adventure, but looks like stressed plastic on those areas, but in general look very good perfect size, colors the features are very nice. very Useful too. Good Job, I do have pictures right now but send me another link for survey and wait for a great photos in the woods. :)

Harvested a deer on the 14th, started butchering the same day. Got ice to keep meat cool while processing, kept ice in to see how long will last. So far seven day and counting. FANTASTIC.!!!

I couldn't be happier with the best coolers on the planet. I'm a forever customer of Pelican!

Love this cooler! Camping in northern Minnesota. Withstands weather and time.

The best coolers you can buy. Built like a tank and holds ice for days.

So far, so good. We are in day 3 of our road trip to Colorado and with temps up to 90 degrees this 50qt Pelican is holding ice like a champ! I pre-chilled it before we left and have been making my own block ice experimenting with various size moulds. Hardly any melt so far. This compared to a cheap Igloo Ice Cube which seemed like an oven designed to melt ice. There is a difference! Think of it this way- I'm now more inclined to buy ice or make my own knowing it won't go to waste.

AWESOME product! BEST customer service ever!!

My husband lives it

Great cooler!

Used it for a three-day car / tent camping trip. Loaded with food, but no drinks. Used two 5 pound and one 2 pound Pelican Ice Replacements along with about 10 lbs of ice. Came back with plenty of ice and some very cold leftover food. The ice chest is solid in construction and worked to my expectations. I am glad I made the investment and will be using it for many more car camping trips. I love the sound it makes when you shut the lid!

Love the construction. Latches are are made to stay shut. Feel more secure than some other brands rubber "hooks". Previous experience with this cooler line (already owned 70 qt) shows many days of cold drinks ahead.

Exactly what I wanted.

It holds ice great

Great price and super fast shipping. Pelican 50 is solid

Great price and quick shipping!

I purchased this cooler as a prize for 18 Holes for Hope and Healing in Honor of My son Peter L. Gemme who tragically passed away a year ago at 35 years old. I wanted a cooler that was made in the USA and it was Patriotic looking. I was very impressed and I m sure who ever wins it will be happy.

Definitely not worth $300 :-(

As soon as it arrived I placed ice and drinks in it! Lasted about 24 hours and the ice melted but kept the drinks cool for another 2 days. I can say this is a very heavy duty but lightweight cooler that keeps drinks cold for 3+ days!!

Love this cooler... it arrived just in time for 4th of July when we had some friends over and it became quite the conversation piece. I like to point out that not only is it less expensive than similar sized coolers this style but it is bigger, has a built in bottle opener and most importantly Made in USA! People were in and out of this thing all day and 4 days later there is still ice in it.

This is the best cooler I’ve ever purchased, it can keep ice for several days and it’s indestructible. This cooler was made to last forever. Worth every single pennie.

Staff is super helpful in product knowledge and pickin the right cooler. Shipping is timely and thanks again guys.

Cooler came the morning of my sons birthday party. It was a pool party and we filled the cooler with ice and good drinks. It held the ice for three days before I finally emptied the cooler. I got several comments on the color and look of the cooler. A great purchase, very happy.

This cooler is putting in some work here in South Texas. I couldn’t be happier with its performance.

It only held ice for 2 days after it was already chilled prior to putting ice in it. The drain plug sweats and is cold. Its an area where cold air escapes. Love the look and functionality but disappointed with performance so far.

We have a 20,40,&50qt. Love em. Holds ice for days. Have a 35 yeti, it’s good but does not compare with the Pelican. Only reason for the yeti is that it fits my rear basket on my 4 wheeler and the Pelican doesn’t, as I would have had to cut my rack. 20 is too small for our trips..must have plenty room for beer..lol I also have 3 smaller Pelican dry boxes pistol..camera...keyes & phones. One of these doubles for my 2 Alpha gps units. That’s how much I trust Pelican products. Made in America!!!

I love my Pelican!!! I had been doing a fair amount of research on roto-formed coolers (yeti, rtic, orca, etc) before I bought my Pelican. There are features (built-in cup holders, bottle opener, etc) that the Pelican has that the other manufactures/companies don’t have. I like the rugged design and aesthetics of the Pelican cooler.

Pelican Elite 50 Tested it in my kitchen upon delivery. Approximately 65 degree room temperature. 1 big bag of ice +12 beers and 6 bottles of water. 3 days of ice. 4 days of cold drinks. No leaks and drained water on day 4. Very pleased with my purchase.

First of many Will definitely buy additional coolers

50QT Elite Took me years to finally buy a good cooler. Read reviews and bought a Pelican. Liked it so much I got the 20QT a week later.

Wanted to Love it I’ll start by saying these coolers are built like tanks and that’s why I bought one. My disappointment comes in the overall design after seeing it in person. Since these aren’t really in stores it’s hard to get your hands on one prior to ordering. I love my Pelican cases and that’s what drove my purchase of a Pelican cooler. The design of the cooler isn’t super thoughtful. Where they wanted it to be rugged, they just added material in every dimension. That results in a strong but awkwardly oversized for the capacity cooler. The molded in non-moving handles stick out super far and take up a ton of space when trying to pack this in a vehicle. The cooler overall takes up way more space than it needs to. If they used similar handles and design as to how normal Pelican cases are built, you’d have a much better cooler. These just feel big for the purpose of being big. There’s no doubt if my cooler fell off my vehicle it would stay closed and mostly survive the impact. So I suppose that’s a plus. Functionally the cooler is great. It holds ice super long. I only used it over a weekend and it still had ice when I got home. It’s kind of lame the basket isn’t included with every cooler. I purchased it separately and can’t see owning this cooler without the tray. Other manufacturers include baskets. So in the end I don’t like this cooler and will probably replace it with a Yeti as much as I tried to avoid getting a Yeti...

Worth the Price! Went camping for 3 days, still had ice in cooler when we got home. I highly recommend this product!

GREAT COOLER Chill it prior to use and its the BEST ,i picked up the 5 lbs ice pelican ice pack to add to it also the large rack . Its now complete! VERY HAPPY

Not worth the money!! This cooler keeps ice for a max of 3 days. Not at all worth the money!! Can spend 1/3 money for same results.

average well just to make this short they said 8 days ice retention .....not even close ...more like 32 hours

Best cooler ever Hands down the best cooler I own

Built Like a Tank This cooler checks all the boxes. It is built to hold up for a long time. I am happy with it so far and am sure I will be happy with it for a long time to come.

Worth it! I have been using this for a few days and it definitely holds ice even with 90 degree days! The latches are great - I prefer them over the rubber-type of the Yeti. So far so good, I will be picking up another one or two for sure. It is heavy, though. But so is every cooler packed full so I don’t think it is a huge deal. Very nice cooler!

Worth the money! my wife got me this cooler for Father’s Day and it is awesome! It is just as good if not better than the other premium coolers and costs a little less on most cases. If you are on the fence, just do it. You won’t regret buying a Pelican!

50 QT Bought this cooler about a year ago and wanted to really use it before a review. After multiple 5+ day camping trips I felt good about the purchase. The size can fit a lot more than expected. Built quality is really nice. Latches are solid, cup holders are mint, handles are strong enough for the full weight. Today was the real test though. I tossed 5 bags of ice into the cooler last night loaded it into the truck bed, parked on the top floor of a parking garage for 8.5 hours in direct sunlight with a high 85 degrees in Boston today. Checked on the cooler after work and none of the ice had melted. To me this cooler is completely worth every penny you spend.

50qt elite cooler Absolutely love it it’s way overbuilt ready to last a lifetime best money ever spent

Great Great cooler great service I’ll be buying another one.

Disappointed I had bought the 50qt for my birthday, I have a autoimmune disease and need a tough cooler to keep my food in. The latches were not staying closed I pressed the button on the latch and it didn't retract it opened the latch, I contacted y'all and y'all replaced it I had to pay a additional $50 i got in the new cooler and am having the same issue but I refuse to pay another $50 to have it replaced again... I have a 20qt with the older design and it's awesome, but very disappointed with the 50qt

Great Pelican Coolers I now own four (4) Pelican Hard sided coolers...all of them have superior ice retention...I use my large Pelican Cooler up in Idaho for just over two weeks...every thing stays cold!!!

Way over priced If you saw how much it actually costs Pelican to make a cooler you would laugh. Mostly made by machine with non-English speaking people do the repetitive work making minimum wage. Check the weight before buying, you will not want to lug that thing around. Buy a cheap colman at 1/10 the price, you will be glad you did. And that claim of lasting 8 days.... that is if the food you put in is FROZEN when it goes into the cooler. Don't believe me, just ask Pelican for the details of their testing.

Getting replacement parts I have bought a 150 qt, two 45 qts, and a 90qt. I had the handle break off on 90 and one 45. People who dont pay for these coolers tend to use latches as handles and they need like 5 to 30 seconds for the seal to break. Anyway I couldnt get any type of warranty on the the handles and it was extremely difficult to order one. I am just curious if I have another part break will they play dumb again? I got the pelican employee to tell where to order he didn't ask how it broke or mention anything about warranties. Any way I live a a big ranch in south texas and use lots of coolers. Just for the record I used to buy only yeti due to weight of the pelican. I have a 120 yet I stolen from my boat in 2 mins and a 75 yet I stolen from my truck in which I had strapped in with yetis cut proof cables when I called yeti they sad they would give me 30% my next cooler I laughed and sad I'll never buy one again after this. That's why pelican gets all my money now. But then this happened maybe I'll get RTIC on the next ones.

Great Purchase The cooler is still pretty new and so we haven’t had much time to use it. We have been very happy with the customer service of pelicancoolers.com. The cooler arrived in a timely manner, fitting the advertised description, and seems to work well. Thank You!

Great Cooler I wanted a top of the line cooler and it had to be (Made In The USA). After looking at all my options I chose Pelican. I liked the latches and camo color better than all the others plus Pelican had great reviews! We were expecting a blizzard to come in on 12/08/18 so I completely filled my 50qt. Pelican with ice at 6:30pm on the 8th in case of power outage. Luckily no power outage happened so I left cooler closed to see how long the ice would remain and and it was finally all gone in the morning of 12/27/18 which was 18 to 19 days!! Great cooler!! I love it!

Great cooler Perfect size, exactly what I needed.

2nd cooler This is my 2nd pelican cooler had th older 35.. Loved the freezer gasket when it would close you could hear it draw the air out.. Just bought a new 50 elite .. These coolers are made and built better then a yet I..

Awesome I purchased this for a recent 2500 mile trip. I packed meat along with sodas and other frosty beverages. To make sure the meat didn't spoil over the 10 day trip, every time I could squeeze a bag of ice on top, I would add a bag just to be sure. After returning home and emptying the cooler, there was still about half a bag of the original ice I started with in the cooler which was crushed ice and all the added ice was cubed. That is just awesome.

Pelican 50 quart Elite cooler I watched the battles on the internet and among friends trying to determine the best high end coolers out there. I had narrowed my choices down over time to 3 or 4 of the names most people would recognize. However, when one of them came out against the NRA I eliminated that company from my choices. I ended up picking the Pelican 50 quart Elite Cooler because it had all the features I wanted, actually was consistently winning the ice cooler challenges online, and is made in the USA! You can tell the quality when you handle one of these coolers! I couldn't be happier - yeah, it's just a cooler, but it's a really damn good one!

DISAPPOINTED i’ve spent last year trying to decide which cooler to get. majority of my friends have yeti’s. i’m wishing i would’ve went with that cooler. i have Coleman 5 day coolers that work just as well. and yes cooler was pretty chilled in the house and everything that went into the cooler was ice cold. so disappointed

Epic Cooler Love it! I got the outside gray with lime green inside. Room for just bout anything. Bought 2 bags of ice, filled with a dozen beers & soda. Outside temp was in the 80s in rural WI. Heavy use the 1st day but after that daily openings & lasted just over a week on ice, 8 days. Water was still cold enough to go day or so. Definitely impressed! And worth every penny. Thanks for kicking arse!

I Like Well built 50Q cooler. I prefer the latches over the rubber t’s on Yeti (mine tore) . Yeti is still overpriced to this day and now they don’t even make all of their coolers in the US. Also, I can lock/secure my Pelican cooler without locking the lid. That’s my favorite thing about P. Both hold ice the same. Pack it full. Be unique and buy a lifetime warrantied chest, buy American and buy a Pelican.

Happy customer This cooler does everything it claims to do. My ice lasted longer than in any other cooler I have owned. As great as the cooler is, the customer service is equally outstanding.

Excellent Cooler Everything I was looking for in a cooler. The 50 quart fits my needs and it performs as specified. The build quality and functionality is exceptional. Also, I love that Pelican backs the cooler with a lifetime warranty. If your looking for the best cooler on the market look no more. Order yourself a Pelican cooler and you won't go wrong. Made in America!!!

cooler I must have gotten a reject, I have the 50 qt, orange and brown one, it won't hold ice more than a day. I put 2 bags in it, and they were melted to water the next day. not happy for the money I spent on this one. Probably going to the closest competitor

Good cooler Cooler held ice for 4 days and drain plug leaks but overall I like it.

Best cooler Here at our company we went through a lot of coolers but after purchasing a Pelican cooler we are done playing around. Best cooler we have ever used hands down.

Made In America! Best bang for your buck! Made in USA! Tons better than the competition, love the latches and heavy duty handles.

The Best Arrived in a timely manner ecspecially since I ordered it over a holiday week. Thank you for making such a great product.

Tough as it gets I have a 45QT cooler that is 4 years old . It gets abused 24/7 . It is constantly subjected to chemicals from diesel fuel to brake cleaner and sits in a service truck . It’s had C15 cat cylinder heads rest on top of it , fallen out of the truck on the interstate , even been used as a jack stand for one of my smaller trucks in a pinch . Nothing I’ve ever come across ( except my chrome Snap-On tools ) has ever been put through the abuse this cooler has seen and survived more than 6 months . ( that goes for employees too ! ) I just received my new 50QT elite bright as hell green cooler last week . From the looks of it I don’t have any doubt it will last just as long as my 45QT ( which still works as it should ) . Bought this one for the family to use on camping trips . I would never consider buying any other brand of cooler . Pelican is the best by far .

Wow Just received my cooler. I love the vibrant lime green! I think it is going to be awesome to use. I feel like in my situation that it is a little bulky and will not fit in the floor space of the cab over camper. It will be a great extra seat or table with cup holders between chairs.

Expect nothing less from Pelican Great product, great brand. You can get picky about the durability of the valve cover, but this cooler is vastly superior to others I've seen and used in many ways. Throw in the price tag and lifetime warranty, this cooler is the best in the business.

Beats the Louisiana Heat After my 50qt cooler came in boasting of the 8 days of ice it would hold I was skeptical to say the least. I wanted to put it to the test! I filled up the ice chest with a case of room temperature water in the room temperature ice chest and filled it with 35 pounds of ice! It then went into the bed of my truck and sat there uncovered for 5 days with ice and the other three with still cold water left. It gets hot in the Louisiana sun all day and it held up nicely! The quality construction looks like it’s going to hold up like any Pelican case and the easy latches and drain plug just makes things easier. If you’re on the fence it’s time to pick the greener side! No doubts go with a Pelican!

This thing holds ice almost 13 days! Love the product! About to test the best quality on our up coming UP Michigan rustic camping trip!

No Bought the 50 qt. to upgrade from my older 35. My old one keeps ice 5 to 7 days. The new 50 qt only last 2 days max. Not impressed. Wish I bought otterbox instead.

Best Father's Day gift ever! When I ordered it I was so excited. What a prize! A red white and blue cooler?! My husband will love it. It came in the mail, WOW! The sheer size of it is impressive. Heavy duty, made to last, AMERICAN MADE! Sold! Needless to say, we couldn't wait. My husband got his gift early! So proud of his cooler, can't wait to take it on the many adventures life has in store for us!

Awesome Cooler High quality cooler from a high quality company. Thank you for all you do

I wish I would have gotten this years ago This cooler is fantastic! Keeps everything super cold, easy to clean and the lid doesn't cause the cooler to fall over like all of my other coolers when empty.

Great Upgrade I’ve had a Pelican 65 quart for years and decided to get one slightly smaller and wow what a difference a few years can make. This 55 qt is my go to cooler now for camping if I want to keep ice for days. Love it and will be buying another larger one soon!

Clean, tough, seals great Love the cooler. Not the lightest but it does get the job done. I’ll be taking it on hunting trips for years

Great I received the cooler promptly and everything is good so far.... haven't had the chance to use it yet but I will be in the near future

Cooler Comment We have not used the cooler yet. The reason we went with Pelican is because it's made in the USA, and because you support the NRA. I almost went with Orca until I read about the NRA on your site. At that moment it was a no brainer. We are quite pleased with the look and you can clearly see how well it is made. We can't wait to try it out.

To new to tell Love the cooler to date only used once so my review is limited. 1. Upon receipt I filled the cooler with water to test the drain for leaks. A few reviews stated they had a leak however mine was watertight. 2. Not sure if this is by design but on mine the gasket for the door has 3/8”-1/4” gap at the rear I’m unsure if that’s normal or not. 3. Having a 4 year old daughter gives me great operational testing. She opened it but let the lid slam down on the latches so the inner latch popped out however it was a quick press back in fix and no damage was done. Allowed me to be mindful about making sure latches are angled out prior to closing. 4. Ice retention. I wasn’t able to pre chill cooler first to properly judge this. However tossed a 6”x12” block in put in drinks, snacks, coldcuts, drove 20 mins added 20lbs ice had to remove 1-2 hand fulls to pack cooler for closure and travel. Spent 6 hours direct sunlight at park in foldable wagon no noticeable melting unpacking at home 8 hours later ( 100 degree Texas day Saturday ) Monday night had 1/2 the block of ice left couple of cubes in water. Drinks still cold. Cooler hasn’t leaked through drain onto my dinning room floor. Overall with my limited use I love it. I will prechill cooler this weekend fill to drink/ice ratio test the 08days retention see if gasket gap effects that.

Great durable cooler Received this a few weeks ago and have used it 2 times. Held ice for 4 days in 95 plus degree heat. Very durable and can withstand a lot of action. Great purchase

Enough With The Yeti Already! My new Pelican 50QT Elite cooler is bigger than the comparable Yeti, stays colder longer than the comparable Yeti, and has a better lid latching system than the Yeti----It also looks much cooler [play on words!] than the Yeti. Enough with the Yeti already!

Great Cooler disappointing Customer Service I tried to get information regarding the footprint of the cooler to fit into my luggage carrier. I found the information on the website and customer service was not accurate nor responsive. 4-star, the cooler is a bit bulky but a well made (Yeti Killer). Disappointing, the customer service and measurements on the website is below average.

#pelicanproud Awesome cooler! Good construction and it's made in the USA! Can't wait to get lots of use out of it this summer on the boat. I also like the color options. The warranty was also a purchase factor.

Latches and storage The latches( better yet only the left latch while looking at cooler) is not operating properly it takes force both directions to utilize, that being said also I’m not understanding why the storage rack wouldn’t be included in such an item.. other than that I like it.

Excellent I was about to purchase a Yeti until their liberal management decided to play politics with their company so I decided to go with Pelican. I am glad I did! The Pelican cooler is an excellent product and U.S.A. made!

Made in the USA Look forward to my first Pelican cooler. Bye bye Yeti.

Good but... Good cooler. Keeps ice except on the hottest days when we are constantly opening and closing it. My problem is the latches (red plastic parts). 1 broke with in a couple of months and now the other is broken. They are not covered by the warranty. Would not buy another one.

Thank you Pelican Coolers I was on the verge of buying a Yeti cooler when I heard the news they had severed ties with the NRA. I learned that Pelican Coolers was taking the opposite position and that they would be donating $10 of every purchase to the NRA. Thank you Pelican Coolers for supporting our 2nd Amendment and the Constitution. I'm thrilled to support an American company that will stand with those of us who are unwilling to surrender our liberty.

Perfect! Excellent quality we own 2 Pelican coolers & we highly recommend them. Way better than a competitor brand. No comparison!

Worked great At first I was a little worried about the ice retention. I bought this cooler and took it to Sturgis bike rally. Everything going into it was placed in the fridge 3 days ahead of time. Cooler was not pre-chilled. Loaded the cooler the morning we left and filled it full of ice. It lasted about 3 days and ice was gone but everything was still very cold. I I drained some of the water out and put more ice in it and it had ice still in it 5 days later. I guess I had so much stuff in it to start with that I did not get much ice in it.

Awesome Customer Service! Working in the oilfield my cooler stays in the bed of my pickup all day long in the heat, sun, and dirt. The seal is 100% holds ice better than both yetis I've owned,looks cooler, and best of all doesn't vapor lock where you can't open it!!!! Plus inside my 50qt elite y'all threw in a 22oz tumbler with a snap lid free and unexpected!! I won't buy anything but pelican from here on out! Thanks for the awesome product and customer service!!!!
