The new 65qt Pelican cooler review

[Tmag]

Nice!

Very Nice....

Looks like every other high end cooler. But like others have said, handles, drains and latches need work. Put that back in your pipe and smoke it

A lifetime warranty is nice, but never having to use it is much nicer.. That's why I was wondering.. Again, never seen one in person.

That's what I was thinking, it reminded me of buying auto parts at auto zone, lifetime warranty but your gonna be changing them out for a lifetime, is it really worth it?

Nice new Toy Joe. Heck yeah, that is sick bro. I need one strapped on the back of the Bad Boy now.

Meh. Not as sexy as a Yeti. Chicks dig 'em...

[Roscoe]

But does it make ice?

Looks nice. Pelican makes some very high quality cases for guns, cameras, etc. I bet this would be of similar quality.

X2 on the latches and handles. The only reason I didn't by one. I'm too rough on them and didn't see the latches staying on too long.

Nice looking cooler though! I hope you get some great use from it!

Definitely a high end cooler competitor. Looks like it will last you a long time. But not so sure it is a yeti killer.

[Gummi Bear]

That is one sweet cooler!

[quote=outlaw38;5809783]Received my Pelican 65qt cooler today and this thing is built tough. 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.

I think if you. Read the fine print they only offer 1 year warranty on their coolers
