Overview

The Pelican 50 Quart Elite Cooler is engineered for those who demand serious performance from their ice chest. With 2 inches of polyurethane insulation wrapped in a 360-degree freezer-grade gasket, this cooler delivers up to 3 days of ice retention in a 100% waterproof and leakproof package. The true 50-quart internal volume (17.50 x 11.00 x 13.70 inches interior) accommodates approximately 38 cans, making it well-suited for weekend camping trips, tailgates, and outdoor gatherings where reliable cooling matters.

Built entirely in the USA, the cooler features a robust set of hardware and design details that set it apart. The 3-inch press-and-pull locking latches keep the lid firmly sealed, while the reinforced lockable hasp allows you to secure the contents with a padlock. An anti-shear hinge system prevents lid damage from overextension. Practical touches include four self-draining cup holders molded into the lid, a stainless steel bottle opener, non-skid rubber feet for stability, overmolded carry handles for a comfortable grip, and molded-in tie-down slots for securing the cooler in a truck bed or on a boat. All of this is backed by Pelican's legendary lifetime guarantee, which promises free replacement if the cooler ever breaks.
