        How's the weight compared to a Yeti or Brute full?

        Not stiring the pot, But I had, someone stole it out of my truck at a gas station in Hamilton, and without the ice is was heavy, but I loved that it would keep ice for 3-4 days.

          This again!

          Yeti is still the King!

            I'd take that over a Yeti any day of the week!!! We use Pelican cases @ work & beat the living heck out of them & the 'plastic' handles have NEVER broke. We have 1 case we've been beating the snot out of for almost 10 years. NOTHING has ever broke on it. If firemen can't break it, it can't be broken.

              The facts, ma'am, just the facts!
              It was a compliment for sure, as i assure you, I do not need my arse whupped.

                    Love the durability associated with the Pelican name, will be interested to see how the drain holds up.

                    Congrats on the cooler, looking forward to your updates on it's performance, some of us are interested in how it does.

                      I was thinking about getting one of these because I have never been disappointed with a pelican product. The drain looks like a weak spot. The rest of the warranty information kind of concerns me though:

                      COOLERS
                      PELICAN LIMITED LIFETIME GUARANTEE OF EXCELLENCE
                      Pelican Products, Inc. ("Pelican") guarantees its coolers for a lifetime against breakage or defects in workmanship. To the extent permitted by law, Pelican's liability is limited to the cooler and not its contents. This lifetime guarantee does not cover rubber feet, drain plug/spigot, gasket, or other cooler accessories, which Pelican warrants against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase. Pelican coolers are not intended for the storage or transportation of hazardous substances. All warranty claims of any nature are barred if the cooler has been altered, damaged or in any way physically changed, or subjected to abuse, misuse, negligence or accident.

                          It depends on how many qts the elk weighs!

This thing holds 72 acutal quarts, no false advertising there. It has four tie downs molded in the cooler, and a stainless steel latch for a lock if you need one. The handles are large and easy to grab. The plug has no issues and it doesn't use a boat plug. It has a 29 inch ruler molded in. And it is 2 inches of insulation throughout, not tapered like the others. This is the Yeti killer. The 65 cost me 315 to my door. And it is made in the USA and has a liftime warranty. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.quote]

                            That's a heck of a nice cooler!

                            However...according to my trusty little calculator and the interior dimensions on their own website, it holds 61.98 qts, rounded to 62 qts, not 72 and not 65.

                            Specifications:
                            65Q-MC-WHT Elite Cooler 65Qt.
                            Cooler Internal Dimensions 25.66”L x 11.16”W x 12.50”D
                            Weight: 35 lbs as much as Brute's 90 qt.
                            my tape reads 26.5 x 12 x 12.5
                            Hmmm, they must have changed their website because I cannot even locate the one with the dimensions that I cut and pasted above...plus it previously said it weighs 35lbs; now their website says it weighs 41.91 lbs???

                            Either way, the stated inside dimensions of 26.5 x 12 x 12.5= 3975 sq in /by 57.75 = 68.8 qts, not 72 qts, but at least it is actual size.

                            I also cut/pasted from their site the info about the unconditional lifetime warranty; now I can only find the 90 day limited warranty on the cooler parts.

                            Was not hating Outlaw. That is a nice coller. I just have issues with manufactures taking liberties with the facts and mirepresenting their products (Yeti).

                              Been bugging me to death that I may have posted some incorrect information , and I have been expecting Adair to come looking for me .

                              Well, Here is the link of where I got the posted information; turns out it was not actually Pelican's website but a dealer.
