If you don't mind waiting 4 to 6 months on getting one it's a good deal.

Or longer. There's a thread on a different forum where guys pre-ordered in June & won't be getting one until Feb of 2016. They keep kicking back the date. Not worth saving $25 when Pelican blows them away in every aspect.

They match almost identical. Didn't read anything on the site but have they been around long. Now days new cooler companies are popping up everyday.

Just ordered two of their tumblers. Half the price is worth a try.

Where can you find a 65qt Pelican for $225?

I paid $200 for my Pelican 45qt & they want $175 for their 45qt. That's the $25 difference I was referring to.

Costco puts 'em on sale from time to time. That's where I got my Pelican 95.

I got my RTIC cooler and couldn't be any happier with it. I pre-ordered it several months ago and was told it would arrive in about three months later (which it did). I got a white cooler and think the tan cooler takes longer to get. I have the same sized Yeti cooler and can't tell the difference in quality. The RTIC was 1/2 the cost.

Do you have an RTIC or how do you know it blows them away in every aspect?

Wouldn't own one. Pelican has them beat by having:
Real handles
real latches
stronger lid
thicker 'plastic' sides/top/bottom
100% made in USA
100% lifetime warranty
Better company

Where does the RTIC (besides being 10% cheaper), or any roto-molded cooler, beat the Pelican?

I paid $219 + tax for my 65 qt Pelican online at Walmart.

EDIT: It was actually $216+tax.

RTIC is a joke of business. Get preorders up front and keep people waiting 6 months to get their cooler.

Pick a cooler from a legitimate company there are several of them in this space.

I have a Pelican 65, as well as many different size Yetis from 45qt to 250qt. I think they ALL have their positives and negatives. I think the pelican and Yeti each do very well with ice retention. On the negative side for the Pelican, I am not a huge fan of the latches. I also think the drain plug is the absolute weakest link on the Pelican.

I have had issues with both brands. Pelican offers a longer warranty, but they require the customer pay shipping on their defective product. My Pelican 65qt delaminated, and while they would warranty the cooler, I had to pay shipping. My 250qt Yeti did the same, and Yeti sent a new one to me no shipping required.

Again, I think all of the rotomolded brands have some positives and negatives. They are all MUCH more durable than the old Igloo and Coleman coolers. That is the whole reason I bought them.

I have a 45qt on order that is supposed to ship by the end of the month and a 20qt that will ship (maybe) in 4 months. I did get the 35oz glass and have it already. It's very similar to the Yeti one and does just as good of a job. If I needed more of the glasses, I'd definitely buy again.

So you bought this $440 Pelican cooler for over 50% off at Walmart.com?? Heck of a deal. Sort of hard not to throw a bs flag here. But maybe they had a black Friday sale or something I missed.

Icehole website, it's showing M60 is $469, and $559 for M100. If you can get them for that price, put me down for 1 please, Thanks.

Actually bought several(7 or 8) for Christmas gifts several years ago. Don't think I can get anymore though. They were factory rejects with molding issue on the top of the lid. Cosmetic more than anything. They will not honor the lifetime warranty on them though at that price I paid, which was fine. Inside the cooler, exterior of sides/bottoms was fine, hinges and the seals all were in great condition. I kept ice in one of my 100qt for 9 days in West Texas. I opened it once or twice a day to get drinks out or a bag of ice for another cooler.

Yes. The front plastic essentially bubbled. Happened on the Pelican 65 and the Yeti 250. Can happen on any of them. How the company handles it is the key for me.
