This is my favorite cooler - I love those Press and Pull latches.

I picked up the 80QT Wheeled Elite Cooler, the 45 QT Wheeled Elite Cooler and the 20QT Elite Cooler to replace all my aging mix of 20 year old coolers during the Memorial Day Sale. What a difference quality makes in a cooler. First off, shipping was amazingly fast!! Second, the build quality of the Pelican Elite series is fantastic. These things are built like tanks. I can’t wait to put these coolers to good use for decades to come, well done Pelican, you have a customer for life!

Anyone who gave this cooler less than 5 stars didn't temp the inside 1st. We placed 2 bags of ice in ours for 24 hours inside our house. The day we were ready to pack the cooler we cleaned out the contents and repacked with fresh ice, food and drinks. We went to the beach for a week in the blazing hot sun this cooler sat in my 4Runner in the sun for a week. It was opened and closed multiple times during the day and I NEVER once replenished the ice. The second time it was used we were also at the beach. Had just made a run to the grocery store to purchase food for the week and then got evacuated. We packed this cooler FULL of cold NOT frozen food and left it in the cooler for 6 days while we re worked our vacation and traveled to Williamsburg VA. We had no place to store the food we had purchased but the cooler kept everything perfect. By the time we got home and unpacked the cooler some of the items had stated to freeze! If that's isn't incredible then you don't understand why a pelican is for you! The reason I purchased a pelican beyond the fact that they are made in the USA is that is saved an entire haul of fish my uncle caught at the ocean once. We were on our way back from the beach when the truck broke down and we had to leave everything for 3 days before we could return. The entire contents was perfect. I would NEVER buy another cooler EVER. Pelican is the ONLY way to go.

CHARCOAL 80 WHEELED pt2
I'm about 90% sure I received a "refurbished" model cooler.
Due to the scratches, stiff latch, etc.
I should have known something was up when there was no plastic
bag over the cooler inside the box.
I'm nearly positive my 35 and 65 quarts had plastic bags over the cooler.
Regardless, it makes sense now as to the condition, and the "refurbished" section showing Charcoal wheeled 80s.
Order #30880

Charcoal 80 wheeled
Delivered very fast.
Cooler itself looks great upon initial viewing.
A nice thank you pack with some decals and coozies was included.
Closer inspection showed lots of scuffs and nicks.
Also some very rough flash removal around the fixed pull handle.
Inside, I was a bit surprised by the gap in the gasket.
It was 1/2 in wide I suppose.
I'm used to seeing some, but this to me looked excessive.
Way more than my other coolers.
The left latch on the 80 is EXTREMELY hard to move.
Like it is binding.
The metal rod on that side looks like a beaver chewed the end off.
Force applied to move the left latch up or down, would be registered in pounds.
I am counting on this to loosen up. Counting meaning better.
Spray lube had no effect.
The inside of the cooler feels "lumpy" or "bulgy' on the sides.
This is very noticeable to your hand.
Will it effect anything? who knows. Its an observation at this point.
I own a 35 and 65 and a wheeled 45. Those latches are all fine.
Their insides are all flat and smooth.
The 80 wheeled passed the flashlight test.
I am clearly a fan of Pelican.
My charcoal 80 was purchased directly from Pelican with the holiday discount.
Honestly, without the discount, I would have been a bit put off by
the quality.
No ice retention tests at the moment.

80qt wheeled Elite
My husband and I are not impressed with the ice retention. We were excited to use our new cooler over labor day weekend. Loaded it on Wednesday by Sunday all the ice was gone and it was in an air conditioned toy hauler., so yes it was in a controlled environment. I think the seal on the lid is not sealing properly. Also the handle does not seem as strong as it should be. When the cooler is full the handle flexes.

All the positive reviews of this bad ass cooler are true , Love it ! It s the real deal !

80 qt on wheels.
Outstanding cooler. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Made in the USA.

Pelican 80qt wheeled
Great cooler! Took it to the Frio River for a 5 day camping trip along with a 55qt Yeti and 95qt Pelican. It held the Ice well. I replenished the ice twice on the pelicans and 3 times on the Yeti. I was disappointed with the 95qt because when we arrived home and washed the coolers I noticed the bottom of the cooler warped. I am going to make a claim and am hopeful the problem will be resolved. The reason for the 5 star is because the 80qt performed excellent!
David
Great product
I bought this cooler over a year ago. I’ve used it more than I thought I would. My family all owned yetis, until they saw how well my pelican preformed. These coolers are absolutely amazing. They have a better warranty, price point and perform better than yeti, just to name a few things. And they are made in America. Will not buy any other brand. Do yourself a favor and don’t even bother with any other brand.

Great cooler even better customer service
I just received my cooler and the quality is superb! The handle and wheels work nicely, and the handle is long enough that you aren't running over your feet as you move the cooler. The handles on other coolers are too short and it is awkward trying to move the cooler.
After realizing that I just missed a sale on the 80 quart wheeled cooler, I reached out to the customer service team. They promptly responded and took care of me. This is the level of customer service I appreciate and that will bring me back to purchase other items from Pelican!
I'd like to give a shout out to Ben Orth and his team! Thanks again for making me a happy customer!!!

The Perfect Cooler
Bought this for my love for outdoors hunting and fishing. I just got to use it for the first time as deer season opened up. I loaded it up with fresh deer meet from this last hunt to take to the processor. It kept the ice and meat stayed in great shape. Love the handle and wheels!!! Can't say enough but if your on the fence, come on over as you won't be disappointed.
Devery
This Thing is BADass.
It’s not heavy for the size compared to the other ones and with the handle and the wheels you can’t fill it too capacity and pull this thing around. In 90° weather it kept the ice all weekend and the drinks cold.
This thing is bad ass!!
Kevin Southam
Great Great!
Great ice retention, Great look, Well built!! Overall performance was better than my old Y brand coolers. I have several of the former leading brand coolers that I used to be in love with, I will be selling them ALL and switching to Pelican. I'm glad for SOME RECENT EVENTS occurring, it forced me look at other coolers on the market and found that these Pelicans are superior in many ways. The ONLY reason it's not perfect is the weight, this was not a deal breaker as I understand the added support for the wheels and the wheels themselves add weight. LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

Awesome cooler
Took this cooler salmon fishing for 4 days had it chilled wed eve and put ice in it Thursday morning I still had ice after the trip was over kept everything ..bagged fish,pops,and grocery stuff ice cold!!..if I need a second one I know what I’m getting!!
Dan
Built like a tank
I had been looking for a cooler for a while and there are now so many options and price ranges...but I knew I was willing to spend a little extra for something that would be built really well, last me a while, and actually hold ice for more than a few days. When the cooler arrived it did not disappoint, very solid cooler, I really like the latches compared to the rubber ones from Yeti and my first proved that it can hold ice a really long time.
Brent G
Excellent so far
Just took on its first camp trip... heavy duty, and held all ice for entire Holiday weekend!!! Thanks
MARK HUDSON
wow
what a great cooler awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Win - Win
My Pelican Cooler finally came today. Very well built and engineered. The wheels are recessed so they do not hinder a solid base when not transporting.
This was worth the wait! I also don’t mind the wait as I know Pelican was overwhelmed with orders. Pelican stepped up and supported the demographic that supports their product unlike their competitor. Yeti has an even bigger issue now. The Pelican cooler I purchased is better engineered and designed than the other Yeti cooler I have. People who switched for patriotism will find a better overall product! It is a Win-Win!!

Yeti smeti!

American Strong- Solid Cooler
This is one solid build cooler. American made and lifetime warranty. The latches feel like they will last forever, unlike the overated other brand with rubber latches that take some serious force to pull closed. The handles are crazy strong built ins. The wheels are heavy duty and make going from the truck to the outing so easy. I bought this because the reviews and tests online and the word of friends that are in the Marine industry. Friends that aren't into trends or trendy brands only tried true and tested American quality.
Steve
good product
I bought two. the 80 quart wheeled cooler and the 30 quart. I put 60 pounds of ice in the 80 quart and only opened it maybe 10 times and the ice was completely melted in 3 days. very unsatisfied.
Steve
Great product
Great cooler, but way to expensive
Jack
Looks good
Pretty nice cooler. Large capacity. Wheels make moving simple. Feels much lighter than the 55qt I recently bought. Haven't used it yet so cant comment on how well it performs but if its anything like the other one they will be the only ones I buy from now on...IF I even need another one
Craig
Awesome
What a cooler, its big and heavy but delivers on everything pelican says it will, I'm doing my own ice retention test, I'm on day 4 in a hot garage and the ice looks like the day I filled it, also got 3 1/2 30 packs in it with enough room for 2 10 pound bags of ice, only negative is I didn't get my stickers that supposed to come with every cooler, awesome cooler
Matt
Better than expected
I was wanting a great cooler that was large but easy to move around at Bbq's and family get togethers. The elites are light and with the wheels, one person can drag it around. Thanks for the spectacular product.
William
Amazing cooler with wheels
I got this cooler for the great quitly craftsmenship and the fact it has wheeles to move it around its so heavy to try and left and move it ..
Judd
Awesome
Absolutely awesome! Why buy a top notch cooler this big and not have wheels on it? Who wants to carry around a cooler fully loaded without wheels? Not this guy.
Just buy it. You'll love it.
Russell Edwards
Best there is
This is a heavy cooler when weighted down so the wheels definitely help. Still need an extra hand when lifting it or carrying to something. Easily get 7 to 10 days ice retention. I put cold ice packs along the bottom of the cooler first and that helps alot. This has become my refrigerator at the lake from the dock to the boat all week long!
