Pilot Outdoors® Premium Ice Chest Cooler Model 50/80 (Light Blue)

With up to 18 days of ice retention and a separate ice compartment, the Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 Light Blue cooler is built to keep meat, food, drinks, and other perishables cold for extended outdoor trips. The dedicated ice cavity keeps melting ice water away from your stored items, while over 3 inches of insulation in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom help maintain temperature for longer.

Best for Hunting — Keep Meat Cold and Gear Dry

For hunters, keeping meat cold while protecting other gear from melting ice water is critical. The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 solves both problems with its separate ice compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ Storage system.

Ice stays isolated in its own dedicated cavity, so melting ice water does not affect your food, electronics, clothing, or other gear. The 53 qt configuration can hold 94 x 12oz cans plus 48 lbs of ice in its separate compartment. When more capacity is needed, the cooler expands to 85 qt and can hold 135 x 12oz cans or 92 lbs of ice.

With up to 18 days of ice retention, the 50/80 is built for longer hunting trips when frequent re-icing is not practical.

Best for Camping and Family Gatherings — More Space When You Need It

Camping trips and family gatherings do not always require the same amount of storage. The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 solves that problem with its 2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design.

The cooler converts from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds, giving you a more compact option when you do not need the extra capacity and a larger storage solution when you do.

Its separate ice compartment also means ice does not compete with your food and drinks for storage space. Instead of relying on a traditional 2:1 ice-to-items ratio, the Model 50/80 keeps ice in its own dedicated cavity, creating significantly more usable storage.

Whether you are packing for a solo camping trip, a weekend with friends, or a large family gathering, you can adjust the cooler to match the amount of gear you need to carry.

Best for Extended Adventures — When Resupply Isn't an Option

Long outdoor trips demand more than basic cooling. The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 is designed to support extended adventures with up to 18 days of ice retention, when used according to manufacturer guidelines.

Its Industry-Leading Insulation uses thick, pressure-injected and chemically expanded polyurethane foam, with over 3 inches in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom.

The insulation works with the Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets to reduce thermal leaks. Instead of one gasket, the Pilot® Cooler uses 3 custom-designed, one-piece, refrigeration-style gaskets for added thermal protection.

Together, these features help the 50/80 maintain cold temperatures for extended periods, making it suited for hunting trips, camping, fishing, backcountry adventures, and other situations where regular access to ice may not be available.

Best for Organized Packing — Separate Ice From Everything Else

A cooler can become difficult to manage when ice, food, drinks, and gear all share the same space. The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 takes a different approach by separating the ice from the items you need to keep dry.

The separate ice compartment keeps melting ice water isolated, while the ALWAYS DRY™ Storage chamber provides a dedicated dry space for food, electronics, and gear.

The Model 50/80 also includes cutting boards/dividers that can help organize the interior and provide additional functionality while preparing or separating items.

With ice, food, drinks, and gear assigned to dedicated areas, you can access what you need without digging through a pool of melting ice water.

Best for Versatility — One Cooler for All 4 Seasons

The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 is designed for more than keeping things cold. Its Cold or Hot Box Functionality allows it to work as both a cold box and a hot box, giving you flexibility across all 4 seasons.

The 2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design adds another layer of flexibility. Expand from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds, depending on how much storage you need.

For outdoor enthusiasts who use their cooler across different activities and seasons, the 50/80 combines adjustable capacity, separate ice storage, dry storage, and cold or hot functionality in one system.

Built for Serious Outdoor Use

The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 is designed for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who refuses to let gear slow them down.

Its Dual Cam-Action Latches provide maximum closing force with minimal effort, helping lock in cold or heat. Ergonomic Carry Handles provide a comfortable, secure grip, while 4 integrated locking points add secure closure points.

The cooler also includes 6 Accessory Mounting Stations, each with an integrated bottle opener, ready for future quick attach/detach accessories.

Its Reversible Slip & Non-Slip Feet provide adaptable footing for different surfaces, while the included accessories add even more functionality right out of the box.

A Cooler Designed Around Usable Storage

The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 is built around one simple idea: separate the ice from the items you are storing.

By giving ice its own dedicated cavity and adding an ALWAYS DRY™ Storage chamber, the 50/80 creates more usable storage while keeping your belongings away from melting ice water.

Add the 2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design, up to 18 days of ice retention, Cold or Hot Box Functionality, Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets, and Industry-Leading Insulation, and you get a cooler built for more than a single type of outdoor trip.

Whether you are hunting, fishing, camping, traveling, or gathering with family and friends, the Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 gives you the capacity and flexibility to carry what you need without carrying more cooler than necessary.
