Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler

Introducing the Pelican 45QT Elite Wheeled Cooler - the unstoppable rolling fortress that keeps your food and drinks icy cold for up to a mind-blowing 10 days. Crafted by Pelican, legendary masters of hard case protection, this isn't just a cooler; it's an adventure companion. Picture this: no more soggy sandwiches or lukewarm beers, just perfectly chilled refreshments, whether you're lounging at the beach or firing up the tailgate party.

But what truly sets the Pelican Elite Cooler apart is its unique distinction as a bear-resistant certified product by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC). That's right! It's undergone rigorous testing involving visual inspection, mechanical methods, and even grizzly bear trials, earning it IGBC certification numbers 3365, 3366, 3373, 3374, 3375, 3376. This cooler isn't just about preserving your snacks; it also contributes to wildlife preservation by keeping anthropogenic foods inaccessible to our furry friends.

Now, let's delve into the robust architecture of this amazing cooler. The 45QT (42.59 liter) Elite Wheeled Cooler features a freezer-grade gasket and 2" (5.1cm) of polyurethane insulation that plays a vital role in ice retention. The wide press-and-pull latches provide easy access even with gloves on, and the molded-in tie downs ensure secure transport over any terrain. Thanks to its non-skid, non-marking raised feet, it leaves no trace on your truck bed or boat deck.

Designed for ultimate convenience, this cooler is equipped with a sloped drain and tethered threaded plug to attach a garden hose, allowing easy drainage. Plus, the integrated fish scale on the lid and built-in bottle opener add an extra layer of utility. With its all-terrain heavy-duty wheels and molded-in handles including a built-in trolly handle, moving this cooler around is a breeze.

Constructed in the USA, the cooler's body is made from durable polyethylene, latches from robust ABS plastic, and the handles from TPE. The drain spigot is polypropylene, while all the hardware is stainless-steel, and the insulation is polyurethane. The cooler measures 29.66" x 20.0" x 19.25" (75.3cm x 50.8cm x 48.9cm) externally, 18.10" x 11.10" x 12.0" (46cm x 28.2cm x 30.5cm) internally, with an internal volume of 1.4 cu. ft.
