Expert Review The coldest cooler on the market! - Pelican IM Elite Cooler, 70 Qt

This is the way every cooler should work. Period. I have to admit that I find these to be a little pricey, but it all makes sense once you see them in action. I own the 30 quart model, which is the smallest. I bought this cooler since I play tournaments on the weekends. My car is black, and the cooler is in there all day long. The second round is usually done by around 4-5pm, so that means my cooler has sat in my trunk, in the sun, for about 10 hours. Needless to say, anything I’ve ever had in my cheaper cooler is extremely warm by that time. This will never be the case with a Pelican Elite cooler. To test this cooler out, I put in a half bag of ice and a bottle of water. The cooler was in my trunk all day. When I opened the cooler about 8 hours later, the ice was only about ¼ melted, and the bottle of water was so cold, I got a brain freeze chugging it! I figured I’d keep it going, so I took the cooler out when I got home and left it on my back porch. 24 hours later, after being in the sun the whole next day, some of the ice was still visible in the water from the melted ice, and I still got a brain freeze from the bottle of water! There’s really nothing else to say about these coolers. If you need something to stay cold for more than a few days, in the direct sunlight, then a Pelican IM Elite cooler is exactly what you need. Great for fishermen and hunters alike. This will not disappoint! The rubber feet will not allow this thing to slide around, and there are tie-down points for keeping this in place in the back of a pick-up truck or on a boat. There are also steel reinforced padlock holes to keep the contents of the cooler secure. It is surprisingly light when empty. The only negative thing is how much storage space there is compared to the outer dimensions. The size of the cooler is a little deceiving when you open it for the first time and see how much space there actually is inside.
