Pelican 8QT Personal Cooler & Dry Box

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he LOVE it. He plays darts every Thursday night and it has a compartment for his keys and darts at the top. It is super sturdy and keeps his beverages cold.

I have carried this bad boy everywhere and almost every day for almost a year now. It’s super sturdy and well designed. It’s not terrible heavy so carrying doesn’t cause fatigue. It’s also very easy to clean. A great value for the money that I highly recommend

I purchased this after my last lunch box finally fell apart. I read all the reviews on it and decided to pull the trigger. It's a great sturdy box, probably overkill for lunch box. I meal prep. It holds my 5 sandwiches, and a full size bag of chips with no problem. I leave the tray in and put my boiled eggs on top in a container along with my granola bars and it all closes no problem. The top of the lid, I put electrolytes, green tea, anything smaller and it closes with no issues. The biggest complaint was it would not carry a 16 oz bottle of water standing up. Correct, it wont. I knew that going into it, so why complain about it. You can lay them down if you want. I carry a 64oz stainless steel bottle so I'm not worried about it. They will stand up if you pull the tray out, but the lid will slightly push the tops of the bottle down. If it bothers you, buy the bigger one. Don't read the reviews, buy it, then complain about it. Use common sense. Like anything else, plastic can and will probably break, like the latch. If you throw it around or let it bounce around in the back of a truck, it will probably break the latch. So far, I have had no problems with mine, others have. It also fits in the fridge like my last one. Would I purchase this again. Sure.

After careful decision I like the lunch box. I don’t love it because of the lid. Biggest weak point is the lid container the latch is hard to squeeze to get it open and it can’t fit anything to thick like a sandwich. I think it might be made for paperwork or receipts and writing instruments. Anyway In the new design if they make the lid solid then I could sit on it.

This is my husband's daily lunch cooler. He can put anything in there and it stays cold or hot whichever he needs until lunch time. He also takes it hunting to have snacks and drinks while in the woods. Pelican is our cooler brand that we go to.

Perfect size for a portable cooler, I really like the top storage compartment for my phone, keys and wallet while fishing, keeps everything g out of the sun and dry.¹

Nice cooler . Smaller than expected. Food and drinks didnt stay cold after a 4 hours with the ice pack that it came with and another ice pack in the bottom. . Dont expect this to keep anything cold for more than a couple hours

I have 14 qt. This is a good addition.

8qt version. Perfect lunch box. Will stay cold for two solid days with the built in cold slab and a couple of slim ice gel packs. Perfect size for fitting into a work duffel bag, solid as a rock, will last decades. Best lunch box I’ve ever had. Good volume inside even with extra cold packs. Perfect for enough food for a 12+hour work shift.

It is a money value product , good quality as expected.

Pelican have a reputation for building robust, functional products and this cooler is no exception. It's price reflects it's build quality and I was very happy when I unboxed it.

Bought for mu husband for a lunch box. Super durable, stays cold all day when he's at work (outside in the heat on a farm all day!). Great product, would use for picnics too if it wasn't such a hot commodity in our house!

Doesn't keep cold
