I bought the 150 quart Pelican last year, best price I found was Adorama, $520.00 ish shipped. Used it on hunting trips to Neb and WY, ice lasts on average 9-10 days. I don't open unnecessarily, only to throw meat into and get vittles out of, keep it in back of truck and park in shade as much as possible. Liked it enough that I just bought the smaller 65 quart at Sportsmans on Sunday, I needed something smaller for dove hunting, it was $330.00. These things are built right.
I have bought many of the cheaper coolers over the last 20 or so years at $75.00+ and was getting tired of having to buy them every couple years. If I add up all the $$$ spent on coolers, these will be money ahead in the long run. Only time will tell, but so far I am happy with my choice.
Common sense is a punishment for having to deal with those who don't have it.
I have the standard fare, 2 Coleman Extremes and a Pelican 65 quart. I have taken several multi-day trips with the Pelican and the Extremes, and the Pelican, for me, was worth the money. I have been able to keep 3/4 full jugs of water frozen for several days in 90 degree plus heat in the Pelican, not so in the Extremes. The latches are very good as is the seal. I have borrowed some "more expensive" ones and I think the Pelican is about the best out there and it does cost less.
