PILOT OUTDOORS® Coolers keep your food, drinks, and catch for an extended period of time, up to 18 days under ideal conditions. In the near future, PILOT OUTDOORS® Coolers will be offering inexpensive and compact retrofit kits to refreeze the melting ice back to solid, out in the wilderness, or on the ocean without the need for plugin power.

If you are going for a short trip, you don’t need to keep things frozen, the super-insulated and triple seal PILOT OUTDOORS® Cooler will prevent cooling loss and make the product last longer.

Yes, PILOT OUTDOORS® Hard Ice chests are the world’s first coolers with dual functionality to keep things cold and hot.

PILOT OUTDOOR® coolers are definitely worth it because we are the only brand whose hard chest coolers have 2 sizes in 1, 3x times the storage capacity compared to same size coolers by others, a totally separate always dry food storage chamber, a totally separate ice storage chamber. Longest ice retention of any cooler on the market today, up to 18 day
under ideal conditions. ice retention for long days, bear proof, separate compartment for ice storage, capacity for tall bottles, have three times more capacity, build with premium quality and use for all seasons.

• Absolutely! Thanks to the patented innovative design, PILOT OUTDOOR® Cooler
  has 2 sizes in every cooler. We achieved this by putting a smaller box inside of a bigger box, and the space created between the difference of the 2 boxes is the separate cavity that stores the ice. The space inside the smaller box is the always dry food and drink storage cavity that is surrounded on 5 sides by ice. The smaller box can be removed in under 30 seconds to yield just a single cavity. Once removed the smaller box can be used as an ice tub.
• PILOT OUTDOOR® Coolers 50/80 model is in terms of 50/80 liters, size (52.84/84.54 qt.) the always dry food storage cavity of 50ltrs (52.84 qt.). The difference between 50/80ltrs., (52.84/ 84.54 qt.) is 30ltrs. (31.70 qt.) which is where 30ltrs. (31.70 qt.) of ice can reside. If the insert is taken out, then the overall capacity of the cooler is 80ltrs. (84.54 qt.) in which case the food and drink will have to reside along with the ice in the same space. Whereas if the insert is in place the ice resides in the 30ltrs., (31.70 qt.) cavity while the food and drink resided in the 50ltrs (52.84 qt.) size. Please look at the detailed size and capacity chart by clicking on the link below. The ice cavity has been designed to be exactly 60% in size of the smaller 50ltrs. (52.84 qt.) which equates to maintaining a 2:1 ice to product ratio of industry-leading traditional coolers with the exception that the useable volume in the food storage cavity increases by 3 times that of the traditional coolers of today.

Yes, it is unbelievable but for PILOT OUTDOORS® Coolers never impossible. Not a single ice cube needs to be put in direct contact with food and drinks thanks to the unique patented, and patent-pending design which features highly innovative and functional technology. For any ice chest cooler to function properly, there must be ice to keep
temperatures cold and prevent bacterial growth from happening to your food and drinks, while also keep your drinks at a refreshing temperature to enjoy. What makes PILOT OUTDOORS® Coolers different is that there is a separate storage compartment for the ice, and therefore food and drinks don’t have direct contact with the ice. This means the melting ice water will be confined to a watertight separate compartment surrounding the food compartment on 5 sides, so no melting ice water can destroy dry goods and contaminate all the contents with rapidly growing bacteria-infested slurry.

Absolutely – PILOT OUTDOORS® Coolers shine when it comes to both short and long trips since a replenishment of ice isn’t required even when it’s readily available. Your drinks will stay cold for days while your food and catch will be kept cool for extended periods of time. By our benchmark testing, we were able to keep ice for up to 18 days under ideal conditions. You’ll have plenty of ice for preserving your food and keeping your beverages cold will be the least of your worries. With a special add-on device we’ll be introducing in the future, you will be able to prevent a state change of solid ice to liquid, simply by pushing a button and extending the life of the ice

Absolutely! We have developed a device that we’ll be offering for sale as an add-on option. It will be reasonably priced will attach externally to any PILOT OUTDOORS® Cooler to prevent any of your ice melting, keeping it in a solid state and increasing its time to cool your items!
