Love it

GREAT COOLER!

Completely impressed with the price and service. Amazon was over $150 more and the would have been slow. You delivered it within a couple of days. Great job.

Thank you for my 70qt Pelican. I've been an igloo owner for so long before I bought my first Yeti. The yeti can't hold a candle to my new Pelican. Thank you guys!!!

Great cooler so far. Used for 5 day trip to mountains then to ocean. Stayed cool/cold entire time.

Got this monster for Father’s Day! Absolutely love it!! The pelican ice packs deff are a must have accessory. Great products!

Great cooler, bought it instead of its ubiquitous competition because it was injection molded (way lighter empty or loaded, and this thing is heavy enough as is), priced more competitively, the amazing latches compared to the competition’s rubber travesty, and American manufactured with a lifetime warranty. However, the dry goods basket is a scam and needs a serious price reduction, almost didn’t get the cooler due to them wanting ~40 bucks for s wire basket.

Great product, fast shipping. I was concerned about the size but I am very happy I went with the 70Qt. Perfect for family trips. I will certainly be adding to my collection.

After 4 days in the back of my truck from Michigan to Florida everything was still cold. I am very happy with my purchase.

After a long weekend at our property, we decided to look for a better cooler. I had looked at all of the top brands before. We were pleasantly surprised to see our number one pick “Pelican” was on sale! We purchased a 70qt. and a 30qt. The day they arrived we were pleasantly surprised to see the quality and how well they were designed. In my opinion there is no comparison to the other top brands! Lifetime warranty, on sale, free shipping, made in the USA! Well done Pelican!

Color looked nothing like picture. Drain leaked like crazy from a poorly designed rubber seal. Gaps between the two different colors of the cooler. Not pelican quality at all

Love the color still has ice in it 8 days later

Received a head of time quoted. Only have used it once so far but performed as advertised. Love the very positive heavy duty latches over the pull down rubber type.

Love it have a 50 and this 70 blows yeti outta the water

Love these coolers!

4th pelican I own. Coolers are built to last. Latches, handles and drain plug all superb, no rubber here. Broke a latch on my 45 quart. Contacted pelican via email to purchase a new one, they sent me a set of latches under warranty. Class act company.

beautiful cooler and great color. The wife loves it for her summer home on the lake in Wisconsin.

Best cooler on the market. I have three coolers all different sizes. Thanks

Color turned out better than I had pictured

Good cooler

Great very large cooler. Well made product an great customer service.

Just got it, can’t wait to use it this summer!

Light weight, durable and a great color!

Love it! A major upgrade from older heavy 65qt but still using my 65qt best one tho.

Great cooler very durable and keeps cold for days. Lifetime garuantee is the best.

Pelican is only for those who need quality products. The 70 qt is hands down the best cooler you can buy.

Great cooler love it. I put two frozen one gallon jugs in it and loaded it with enough food for four people. Seven days later the the food was gone but the jugs still had some ice in them and were still keeping the cooler cold. It's not just a cooler it is part of the family.

The spout of the cooler leaks constantly and consistently. Had to locktite the spout onto the cooler itself, because I did not have time to wait for a replacement before my hunting trip. Overall very disappointed with the cooler. For the money, you would expect it to at least hold water.

Worked great on our road trip through Colorado , we ate and drank out this cooler everyday for over a week for breakfast and lunch .

I have not yet received my cooler. It has been sitting at a FEDEX distribution center for several weeks. This to me is simply unacceptable and it reflects poorly on Pelican for not choosing better business to partner with. Hopefully the poor service only extends through the shipping company and is not a representation of what I can expect from elitecooler.com as well.

Awsome awsome awsome. If you want heavy duty pelican is the way to go. This is my second pelican, My other one came with a Barrett 107 in it

Cooler is fantastic for trips, the picture shows I still had ice left after 6 days in mid 80's to low 90's temperatures. Well worth the money.

Absolutely Love it hands down worth the money it’s strong and well built

Love the cooler. Very durable. Just wish it had wheels.

when i ordered the cooler there was only one color option,but when i checked later there was another color option ..i called and they had the color i wanted and the nice girl i talked to got it changed just before it was to be shipped ..so i got the color i wanted and received it fairly quickly.. thank you,,john

Great product at a great price!

This makes my second cooler, holds ice better than yeti.

Fantastic cooler. Much better than a Yeti.

I love the cooler. Performed exactly as expected and advertised. I did a significant amount of research prior to purchasing and wanted an American made product that lived up to the expectation. I have used Pelican products for years in the Army and they take a real beating from troops like myself. Fortunately for me, this cooler came in a green that doesn’t blend. Haha. I am really happy with my purchase. Thanks Pelican, for your great products for the services, and for everyday Joe’s.

Fast shipping, cooler is bigger than I thought but I understand it for the cooling. It's also awesome how sturdy it is, will definitely last my 3 kids childhood trips. Great company, will use again.

Fast shipping and great customer service. My Pelican 70 (with Cooler Shock ice packs) kept everything cold last week for 6 days in 90F heat while camping in Door County WI. Great investment!

This 70 has lived on the back of my work truck for 2 years...it's taken a beating and hasn't let me down....always something cool to drink...A+ .... Get yourself one !!

Nice cooler quick shipping

Keeps ice for days while on extended camping trips. I love this cooler!

Dollar for dollar the best cooler on the market, can’t be beat! This is my second cooler. I also have a 50qt. Pelican always does sales and that’s the best time to buy! American made to top it off!

First trip to the lake and it did awesome! Kept Everything nice and cold for the three days we were there! Thanks!

Took it our for a 3 day camping trip and it worked out amazing. Bought 2 - 10lbs bags of ice on the way out of town on Friday morning and still had ice to dump out on Sunday evening when we got back into town. The large dry rack gave us enough space the foods that needed to stay dry and cold, but isn't so big that it limited the space of anything you want to put underneath it.

Bought this 70qt when they had their Memorial day sale, along with the divider, the 5lb block and the large basket. I'm here to tell you this thing is awesome, took it out all weekend strapped to the back of my side by side and was driving like I normally do, with a heavy right foot, and this thing took the beating and still kept everything cold and never busted a can open. The divider keeps it so stuff doesn't move around a lot and I put 3 bags in on Thursday afternoon and this morning there was still (very little) ice in it. But it sat in 75* heat and was opened probably 175,000 times over those 4 days. I am very pleased and very happy with my purchase! Best part......MADE IN THE USA!!!

Got the cooler for vacation, pre iced it down with 2 pelican 5lb ice packs, waited 45 min, added cans and food, still had ice 7 days later, AWESOME COOLER.... would recommend very highly

Always ready to go.

Awesome Cooler Bought both the 30Qt and the 70Qt. Coolers are built like a tank, very heavy duty. The latch system is great. Blows Yeti away. Made in the USA!

Great Cooler I have owned many coolers. I have been hiking and camping for over 50 years. I have finally found a camping gear that I know will outlast me. The 70 quart cooler is the best thing that I have ever purchased. I reviewed every cooler and it took me 2 years to finally make my decision. I no longer run to the camp store for ice everyday, during the summer months. I recommend this cooler over any other cooler out there!

Amazing!!! This cooler is amazing. I will admit, I was a big fan of another brand until I went camping and someone had a Pelican cooler. So, I bought my own and couldn't be happier. We filled it up Friday and it was in the heat/sun all weekend and still had ice left. I am a Pelican fan now and talk about it to everyone I know. I can't wait to purchase my next one.

Great coolers I own two Pelican coolers and they are hands down the best coolers I've ever owned!

The Champ is HERE Absolutely the best cooler I have ever used. Easy locking system. Holds ice better thank I could have even thought possible. Even has a built in bottle opener. I just wish I would have gone up a size to the 80QT to wheel this bad ass thing around.

Doesn't perform well in Southwest heat We purchased the 70QT cooler for our boat for use on the Colorado River lakes in the Southwest (Mead). We figured if ice lasts 7 days as they claim it will last at least 2 days without needing new ice on the lake. We precooled the cooler, precooled our drinks and used 2 lb blocks in addition to cubed ice. In 105 degree weather, the ice was completely melted by the end of the first day, we purchased another 20 lbs of ice and it was melted by the end of the second day. The cooler was kept in the shade much of the time. The only difference between this $400 cooler and my old $65 cooler is we purchased 1/2 the amount of ice and the wire basket is a nice feature. Not great for desert Southwest summer heat.

Side by Side My wife and I were tired of taking trips and worrying about our cooler staying cold and having to move it inside the vehicles at night (bears). We read the reviews between Yeti and Pelican and were impressed by both. However, the deciding point was Pelican's lifetime warranty, the convenient latches to secure the top as opposed to the rubber hold-downs on the Yet (my wife thought the Pelican latches were much easier to use). The built-in handles on the sides of the cooler are easier to grasp for carrying than the ropes that Yeti had to offer. The handy bottle opener built into the cooler lock is brilliant as well as the cup holders. And finally, I liked the Pelican's indented area on the lid to better accommodate hold-down straps as compared to how Yeti was configured for hauling. Side by side the Pelican was the better choice for our money! Ken & Carol; Boise, ID

My new favorite cooler I love the looks, performance, and durability of this cooler. Great product - great value.

Great Cooler and Great Price. Loved the color options for these coolers! Lots of features packed in these coolers.They look great and get a lot of comments from other people!

Worth the money & cheaper than Yeti Love the closing latches and drink holders in the top! Holds ice for 14 days out of the direct sun, lasts over 1 wk outside on porch in sun all day. Well worth buying and saving your money over the Yetis! Pelican has great customer service, we’ve been very pleased with every item we’ve purchased! All the way down to free shipping on every and anything you buy!

It's good Style is great and very functional. However, I still have an issue. I've reached out to customer service and was issued a replacement for the drain plug because of a leak yet the cooler still leaks from the drain plug even after replacing it.

Made in USA. Insanely strong. Puts other coolers to shame. After checking the specs and reviews on all of the high end roto-coolers I decided to go with Pelican. Glad I did, it puts that overrated Yupi cooler to shame. There is a reason the US military mounts these to their Humvees. If you want the best go Pelican!

Great cooler Bought the 70 qt. Cooler and filled it up with ice from an ice machine last Tuesday. 7 days later there is still half a cooler full of ice even though I’ve kept the cooler in my van parked in a hot garage. Great colors and sturdy locks, best part was I bought it on sale and saved $100. Would highly recommend this cooler over a Yeti.

Cadillac of coolers ! I couldn't be happier, works as advertised ! Well built, rugged, and will hold ice for days, it's like a refrigerator without the electric !

Damaged Both coolers I received we’re damaged. I returned one and received a second one and it was even worse than before. They said they were going to inspect it. So it must be a shipping issue or they didn’t actually check it. Not happy, don’t want a refund. I just want what I paid for.

So good I bought a second one. I purchased a 50qt to take on a trip from Florida thru Arkansas and Texas. After 5 days there was still some of the original ice left in the cooler. I started with crushed ice and after that everything was cubed. I was so impressed with the 50qt, I purchased this 70qt for camping trips to go along with the 50qt.

Overall happy, but some disappointments Some of this isn't necessarily Pelican's fault. I have a limited space issue and needed a cooler larger than my Yeti 50, Smaller than my Yeti 125, but still had to be under 20.5" tall. Ordered this (advertised at 21" tall) thinking I had 21.5" of clearance in my intended space. Turns out the cooler was 20 7/8" tall, and had 20 5/8" clearance. The plastic feet of this cooler (rubber non-slip removed) measured just over .5" with my digital caliper. I used a 120 grit disc to sand down the feet .25". On sanding, the feet were not solid, and left the interior insulation exposed. it was .125" thickness at best. You's think the 4 feet on the bottom would be solid, but you would be wrong. I was able to seal it up with silicone and it will most likely suit my specialized use. Again, I modified it outside of their warranty, but I would still expect a $300 cooler to have solid (not hollow) feet. Cant imagine the extra material would cost more than 5 bucks....

Junk Can’t even handle a wave in the boat, cracked the whole corner of the cooler. Definitely wouldnt be grizzly proof!!!!!! Stuck with a 300$ shooting target now.

New Cooler This is the first ::Pelican cooler that i have purchased. We took it on a trip to Las Vegas and it was awesome. Great Value for the price.

The Cooler Hands down the best cooler I’ve ever had. The 70qt elite is perfect to store away my belongings, plus extra for all my co-workers when needed. So a big thanks to pelican. Keep up the good work.

Awesome I use a cooler for work while on the road. It lives in the back of the work truck and keeps all my lunches and drinks cold without having to buy ice every morning. I cover everything with ice Monday morning and by next Monday all I have to do is empty out the cold water and fill with ice again. After 4 months of use in summer heat it has exceeded my expectations. Cooler is built like a tank, priced right and made in the good ole USA.

Great Cooler This cooler is every bit as good as a Yeti but looks much better! Also got mine on sale for $70 less than a Yeti of the same size. This cooler is worth the money and is made in USA!

No One Comes Even Close Let me say that this Kyle Morgan guy leaves reviews on every Pelican product and he is a liar and another knuckle head that says the ice melted in a day and he leaves no name. COMMOOON we ain't stupid but I digress. Purchased my 70QT Tan/Orange from Beam Distributing in Henrico VA at a great discount. The people there as we say in Boston, are just awsome. Let me say that had the Yeti Floper 18/soft shell and the Yeti 65/hard shell. Sold them. They are F....... Underperformers. Whatever Yeti claims is bullshit I tested in my balcony in the shade on 90F+ and they don't retain ice as they should. Mr Morgan says Price? Yeti 65 is $350 and is only 52QT. The Elite70QT was $315 including VA tax. The performance of the Elite and the build quality cannot be matched by anyone Period. Ice retention is same as Engle and Orca. I love Orca by the way. If you like the simple looks go with Orca. Pelican and Orca are made here in USA. But like a guy says hete, if there was an atomic explosion only the roaches and Pelican will survive . My next purchase will be a baby Pelican and a baby Orca 20QT each. At this place in Henrico VA the guys at Beam have a great show room that includes multiple pelican products that are built for the end of days, cases, flashlights etc. I also purchased the Pelican 1200 Case/Tan and Pelican 3310 night glowing flashlight. Buy without fear Pelican rules.

Heavy duty & stays cold Cooler is heavy duty and like that it can be locked up. Kept my food and drinks cold in the AZ summer heat longer than expected. Great cooler.

Pelican 70 quart Heavy duty cooler. When you order think how big is 70 quarts. It’s a monster. Should last along time

Excellent cooler ! I sold all my yeti’s and moved to pelican. Holds ice is south Texas heat better than my old coolers. Have no regrets with change of brand. Bought the 50 Qt and the 70 Qt. Very good quality. Noticed small leak at drain but it’s for my boat so not a big deal. Super fast shipping, bought on Tuesday received Friday.

Price Can't believe the price

Great customer service! Received cooler less than week of ordering! Noticed the label was a little crooked and asked for new sticker! Better than that they sent me back 10% of my purchase price Via check and new stickers around the cooler with also a discount for future! A++ service, I received my 70 quart tan pelican last Monday here I am seven days later with sitting in direct sun without moving all day all week, there is still ice in cooler and a happy customer I am! Also side note the refund and new stickers were both received before ice has even melted that’s good service!

Best Coolers Ever I originally purchased the new 20 quart version to be used primarily for my lunchbox to take to work. I was surprised by the size of it (large for a lunchbox) but decided to use it anyway. The cooler turned out to be fantastic. It keeps everything ice cold for my entire shift (12 hours). I enjoyed it so much, I went out & purchased the 50 quart cooler for when I go camping. It is the perfect size for that. After that, I purchased the 70 & 30 quart coolers. I use the 70 quart by the pool when we have a bunch of people over & I use the 30 quart on days it is just my girlfriend & I by the pool. The ice lasts all day, even in direct sunlight. The drinks stay icy cold. The quality of the cooler is second to none. It is built tough and will be able to withstand an atomic explosion. I think if that happened the only things left standing would be cockroaches and Pelican Coolers! :). I would highly recommend in purchasing a Pelican Cooler. Just make sure that you have enough room in your garage for storage, because I know you will be like me and purchase all the sizes for different occasions.

THE BEST IS HERE! If you are looking for a EXCELLENT cooler this is it! I am not a paid review i get nothing out of this but the satisfaction of the best cooler investment i have ever had. YES I HAVE HAD A YETI. PELICAN WINS HANDS DOWN. BUY THIS PRODUCT. industry leading ice retention best ever along with a lifetime warranty that wont hassle you if you need it. thanks Pelican, keep up the good work and thanks for supporting the NRA and men saving us over seas.

The best I have had yeti coolers before my pelican cooler. The pelican cooler is better built and the ice lasted longer. Love the latches and the handles compared to my yeti cooler.

Faith Restored So after hours of research I settled on Pelican, who wouldn't. World class company, making cases for every thing and I have used them for my tools, firearms and sensitive equipment for work. So I ordered the cooler from Pelican Coolers. It arrived quickly and I was thrilled. A few days later I went to get ready for a trip and grabbed the cooler. To my surprise there was a large hole where the drain belonged and no drain then I noticed the label was crooked. I called Pelican Cooler and their customer service was right on the ball. Apologized and got me going ASAP. They told me they would inspect the next one before it shipped. It arrives tomorrow. I am a little frustrated on the lack of QA on a $350 cooler, should not be a question, but Pelican Coolers came thru and made it right, they did good. Pelican might want to take a look at this, China is making some good kit and lot less cost and good quality. Brand, Design, Quality, and Made in the USA got me to buy. Quality lacked a bit. I am sure they will get it sorted out.

MADE IN THE USA Love this cooler and the fact that they are made in the USA makes it even better!

Best Choice I could not be happier with my Pelican Cooler! It arrived last Friday and I left for a camping trip the following Monday. The trip lasted 4 days and the cooler far outperformed my expectations. I bought 1-20 pound bag of ice for the bottom of the cooler and after returning home from the trip there was at least 15 pounds of ice left. The cooler was opened about 20 times a day and the ice still kept all of the food at a perfect temperature. I looked around at the other brands but with all of the features and quality nothing stood up to the Pelican. I give the cooler a five star rating and I will always be a Pelican customer.

Pelican 30 and 70 owner! Best cooler I've bought by far. Have only used 30 qt so far. But it's been amazing. 5 To 6 days of ice in Illinois June weather. I'll own the 20 at soon I'm sure. Would recommend to anyone!

Nothing But The Best Loved the 1st one I purchased over a year ago... Had this one not perished in my hunting camp fire back in Feb, I would be reviewing another new item. Well needless to say I love this 70qt - Hunting season can't get here quick enough!!!

Great Cooler Great Purchase!! Holds the ice just like they said it does. It is by far easy to close and latch. Its drain plug is threaded the same as a garden hose, which made it ease for me to install a ball valve and drain it with ease. The overall design of the cooler is awesome. I will continue to support Pelican as they continue to support NRA and many firearm protection. The over all price was well worth it. I will continue my business with Pelican !! Number one cooler in my books !! **LIFE TIME WARRANTY**

The best cooler This is my 2nd one my first one was before the elite series had came out but they are the best coolers I’ve ever owned

Best cooler I’ve owned by far! My 70qt tan/orange Pelican is a bad SOB. Through the years I’ve to reasoning that, the more you’re in and out of a cooler the faster your ice/cold diminishes. I am a pipeliner and we are in and out of this 70qt Pelican so much, and i still only add ice every 4 days. I put 20lbs in and leave about 4-5” of water in it and I will have small cubes still floating after 4-12hr days in 100 degree Texas heat. I’ll never own any other brand cooler IF I ever have to buy another! 2 Thumbs up and 5 stars for sure.

best cooler ever best cooler ive ever had way bigger then then I thought

Built to last Very high-quality cooler. This thing is built like a tank. Anyone looking to buy a good cooler should definitely consider pelican coolers. I went with Pelican because I like the design of the latches versus the rubber ones on other coolers. Just all around awesome

70qt tan/orange I bought my cooler directly through pelican and it came very quickly. I used it the next day on an afternoon trip. With just one liter ice bottle, the ice only melted by about 30% in 24 hours. Easy to clean the inside, and I’m very glad it’s made here in the USA!!

The coolest thing I seen! This cooler is not only cool looking. It has all kinds of things on it that make it the best cooler I have owned and seen! .. no joke..

Love my Pelican Removed my pelican from the shipping box as soon as it arrived, opened it up and placed a 1qt ziplock freezer bag of ice inside and closed the lid. I left the cooler on front porch where it got 4 hours of direct sun in the pm in Florida. I checked afeter 24 hours and still had ice in the baggie, checked 36 hrs and ice was melted except for one small sliver average daytime temp was 85 F.

Impressive I order my cooler on a Wednesday and received it on Saturday in perfect condition. It went on a better sale two days after ordering, and Pelican refunded the price difference after I contacted them. Great customer service. I am thrilled with the quality of this cooler. Is it heavy, yes. I planned on that, so it’s not a surprise. Perfect purchase for my family.

Durable as F*** This cooler is rugged and durable holds ice for 8-10 days depending on the color, love the cutting board on top, has an array of colors to pic from, way better cooler than yeti. If you an outdoors, hunting, shooting fishing, or tailgating at an event this is the hard knock cooler you want no questions asked 5 stars all the way!!!!

Almost perfect! So far I really like my new Pelican cooler. When I opened the box to my new cooler I found a cooler that looks like I could drive over it with my track loader and I only have to worry about hurting my track loader. I was a little disappointed to see the larger sticker on top of the cooler already pealing up. It looks like the corner of the sticker was dirty because the adhesive is not sticking. I started trying (trying is the key word) to contact customer support and found it more than a little hard to get a human. I emailed support on Monday, today is Saturday, and I still haven't heard from anyone. I know it's only a sticker but after $350 I'd like the cooler to be 100%.

Cooler Love it, great ice retention. Rubber feet sounded like a great idea till I tried to move it lol

Yeties are fury and warm last I checked I've been a long time owner and fan of pelican products. I was originaly turned on to the products by fire fighter friends around 13 years ago. Now I find myself using pelican as a go to for protecting all types of gear from fishing reels,fire arms, precision measuring tools, automotive diagnostic equipment and now my latest, two 70qt elite coolers because face it cold beer is a very important thing. And well you have to have two because cold sodas and water are must for the kids and drivers. I love the coolers and all of the other products I have acquired over the years. They are all tough as hell and have takin a thrashing. There are no complaints just one request for the guys at pelican and I'm shure I'm not the only one. There are days or morning after reasons that I would love a multiple size adaptable wheel and pull handle set up for your new coolers. I'm a decent size guy and yea the lighter cooler design is great but there are places these things are built for that well let's just say I still do not want to pack them. I will say this though there is always a cold reward wherever they have ended up. Thanks again

Excellent alternative I wish everyone that kisses my butt with the competition would find pelicans. Way better lol
