Pilot Outdoors® Premium Ice Chest Cooler Model 50/80 (Khaki/Tan)

$429.00 $595.00
Description
The PILOT OUTDOORS 50/80 Khaki/Tan cooler redefines extended outdoor adventures. Its patented dual-chamber system provides up to 18 days of ice retention, triple storage capacity, and dry food storage in one durable package that blends into natural surroundings.

Why Khaki/Tan? The Tactical Choice

The Khaki/Tan ice chest excels on serious expeditions. This neutral earth tone blends with deserts, beaches, rocky terrain, and campsites. Hunters favor subdued colors for hunting cooler that don't spook game. Military and tactical users appreciate the finish that matches field gear.
Khaki/Tan reflects heat better than dark colors, helping maintain temperature on hot trips. Less heat absorption means your ice lasts. The color hides dirt, dust, and scratches that show on brighter coolers—keeping your gear sharp, trip after trip.
This Khaki/Tan cooler is the professional's choice. Understated, practical, and purpose-built for those who take their outdoor pursuits seriously.

53 Quarts to 85 Quarts in 30 Seconds

The PILOT OUTDOORS 50/80 adapts to your needs instantly. The patented dual-chamber design switches between 53 qt and 85 qt without tools or hassle.
Running a weekend fishing trip? The 53qt configuration holds 94 twelve-ounce cans with ice stored separately—no more 2:1 ice-to-items ratio eating your space. Hosting a week-long hunting camp or large family gathering? Flip to 85 qt and pack 135 cans plus 92 pounds of ice into the separate cavity.
This flexibility lets one cooler handle small adventures and major expeditions without compromise.

ALWAYS DRY™ Technology: Game-Changing Storage

The separate ice compartment puts this Khaki/Tan cooler ahead of the pack. Ice stays sealed in its own chamber, isolated from food and drinks. Your gear stays bone dry. Sandwiches don't turn soggy. Electronics remain safe. Important documents stay readable. Cameras and phones can sit right next to your lunch without worry.
Traditional coolers become waterlogged as ice melts, forcing you to search through slush. The PILOT system keeps melted ice away from everything else—clean, organized, and always dry.

18 Days of Ice Retention

This is where the 50/80 stands out. Up to 18 days of ice retention changes extended trips.
The engineering behind this performance includes:
  • Three refrigeration-style gaskets. They create an airtight seal.
  • 3.5 inches of premium insulation on the lid.
  • 3 inches protecting the sides.
  • 4 inches guarding the base.
The separate ice cavity minimizes air exchange, shielding ice from sunlight, wind, and temperature swings. Ice stays while others drip.
Pack once for multi-week expeditions. Skip the ice resupply runs. Save money and time while gaining freedom to explore further from civilization.

Triple the Storage Capacity

With a dedicated ice chamber, you use every inch of interior space for supplies—no wasted space on extra ice. The PILOT 50/80 Khaki/Tan flips the equation. At 53qt, fit 94 cans or 77 pounds of ice. At 85 qt, load 135 cans or 92 pounds of ice—triple competitors at a similar size. More food. More drinks. More supplies. Less wasted space.

Hot or Cold—One Cooler Does Both

The PILOT system is the only cooler to work as both a cold and a hot box. Keep food warm for winter trips or for hot meals at camp; switch back to cold for summer.
Four seasons, endless possibilities, one piece of gear.

Built Like a Tank

The 50/80 Khaki/Tan cooler withstands 6,000 pounds of pressure. It's been tested with helicopter drops, excavator compression, and high-impact scenarios. Rotomolded construction never cracks, dents, or warps. Stand on it for a better view, stack gear during transport, or drag it across tough terrain. This cooler delivers year after year.
Accessory mounting strips handle 368 pounds of pull force—18 times the minimum standard. Everything stays locked, no matter how hard you push it.

The Problems It Eliminates

Stop dealing with: ice that melts by day three, soggy supplies, repeated ice runs, cracking coolers, wasted space, and juggling containers for hot and cold items. The PILOT OUTDOORS 50/80 Khaki/Tan cooler handles it all in one professional-grade package.

Engineering That Shows

Built with 16 precision molds compared to 5 for others, every part serves a purpose. Years of research, three production runs, and field tests in harsh conditions have refined the design. The triple gasket system, ultra-thick insulation walls, and separate ice cavity represent a complete reimagining of what a cooler should be. This isn't an incremental improvement—it's a fundamental redesign.

Your Basecamp Just Got Better

The PILOT OUTDOORS 50/80 Khaki/Tan ice chest cooler combines extended ice retention, massive storage capacity, and tactical versatility in one low-profile package. The neutral earth tone keeps you under the radar. The patented technology keeps your supplies cold and dry for up to 18 days.
Extended hunting trips. Remote fishing camps. Multi-week overlanding adventures. Large family gatherings miles from the nearest store. This cooler handles missions that would break traditional models.
