The new 65qt Pelican cooler review

[Smart]

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.

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.

Interesting..

Yep.....

It ain't no Yeti......

Non of "them" are. It's so funny.

Eh to each his own fellas. Don't be haters on the guy. Yeti, pelican, igloo or styro foam, they all do what they are supposed to do at least once. The object is to drink your beer faster before all the ice melts away!

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

From their website: Introducing Elite Coolers from Pelican Products ProGear Line. These coolers boast best in class ice retention and Pelican's unconditional lifetime guarantee.

You beat that poor computer of yours until it squeals Berandel.

Ha! Why, thank you Draco...I think! I like to do my own research and hate to see false and misleading information bantered about and stated as if it was the truth.

The facts, ma'am, just the facts!

Well said and I am a Yeti owner. Yeti is awesome but I am always open to better opportunity.

Ya, but the plug and latches are screwed in with cheap little phillips head screws, won't take long for those to back out or chew into the plastic and the plastic fasteners don't look like they would take a good drop on a rocky surface. Sorry.

when did you trade in the slide rule?

I think there is a taper on the sides and bottom that might account for your measurement differences there, Poindexter.

surely they liquid measure it.....


if not, open up a fresh can on them

Someone always gotta bash, hell if it keeps the baby blues cold then idc what kinda cooler it is

[Lungbustr]

The whole high dollar cooler thing cracks me up. If the pelican is half as durable as their cases, you should be fine.
