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.

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.

What would you expect from someone who builds the toughest gun cases. 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.
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).
