Perfect for fishing, boating, camping, or hanging out at the beach, the newest Pelican ProGear Elite Cooler holds up to 45 U.S. liquid quarts. All Pelican ProGear Elite Coolers are built tough to exacting military standards and are engineered with rugged polymer exterior walls that feature a 2-inch polyurethane foam core, which ensures extreme ice retention.
