All Coolers

Pilot Outdoors® Premium ice chest coolers are made for tough adventures and built to work where regular coolers can’t. Whether you’re camping for days, fishing offshore, hunting, tailgating, or taking a long road trip, Pilot Outdoors coolers are built to keep your food, drinks, and gear protected from the elements.

Built for Tough Outdoor Use

Each Pilot Outdoors cooler is rotomolded for extra strength, creating a tough, seamless shell designed for demanding outdoor use. Thick, pressure-injected and chemically expanded polyurethane foam provides more than 3 inches of insulation in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom.

The insulation works with the Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets to provide exceptional thermal leak protection and help deliver up to 18 days of ice retention, when used according to manufacturer guidelines.

Durable Construction for Demanding Adventures

Pilot Outdoors® coolers combine a heavy-duty rotomolded shell with advanced insulation and a multi-gasket sealing system. The result is a cooler designed to handle demanding outdoor conditions while helping protect your food, drinks, and gear.

The Dual Cam-Action Latches provide strong closing force, while the Triple Custom Seal Gasket system helps reduce thermal leakage. The reversible feet provide adaptable footing, and the ergonomic carry handles make transportation easier.

The 6 Accessory Mounting Stations also give you room to customize your cooler with quick attach/detach accessories as your needs change.

Made for More Than Keeping Things Cold

The Pilot Outdoors® Premium Ice Chest Cooler is designed to do more than hold ice and drinks. Its Cold or Hot Box Functionality makes it useful throughout all 4 seasons.

The separate Ice Compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ Storage system also help keep wet and dry contents apart. That means melting ice water stays isolated instead of coming into contact with your food, electronics, or other gear.

Expandable Capacity

With its 2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design, the Pilot Outdoors cooler converts from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds.

Use the smaller configuration when you want a more compact setup, then expand the cooler when you need additional room for food, drinks, ice, or gear. This gives you more flexibility without needing to carry two separate coolers.

Built for Hunters, Anglers, and Campers

From hunting trips and offshore fishing to camping, tailgating, and road trips, Pilot Outdoors® coolers are designed for people who need dependable performance outdoors.

The combination of rotomolded construction, Industry-Leading Insulation, Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets, Dual Cam-Action Latches, and ALWAYS DRY™ Storage gives you a cooler built around real outdoor use.

Whether you need to keep things cold or hot, protect dry gear from melting ice water, or carry more supplies, Pilot Outdoors is built to handle the job.
