Pelican 8QT Elite Cooler Dark Gray/Green - Premium Ice Retention

The Pelican 8QT Elite Cooler delivers professional-grade ice retention and rugged construction for outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliable cooling performance. This compact cooler maintains temperatures for extended periods while withstanding harsh field conditions.

What Makes This Different

Pelican's proprietary insulation system outperforms standard coolers by maintaining ice for up to 5 days in moderate conditions. The rotomolded construction creates seamless walls without weak joints that typically fail under stress. Military-grade latches and hinges resist corrosion and maintain seal integrity after thousands of opening cycles.

Key Features

• 8-quart capacity holds 12 cans plus ice for day trips and tactical operations
• Rotomolded polyethylene construction with 2-inch wall insulation
• Dual-stage latches create airtight seal with minimal effort
• Stainless steel hardware resists saltwater corrosion
• Molded-in tie-down points secure cooler during transport
• Dark gray/green colorway provides low-visibility profile
• Non-slip rubber feet prevent sliding on smooth surfaces

Field testing demonstrates consistent temperature maintenance across temperature extremes from desert heat to alpine conditions. The compact footprint fits standard vehicle storage compartments while maximizing internal capacity. Heavy-duty construction withstands drops, impacts, and prolonged UV exposure without compromising performance.
