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

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 Khaki/Tan cooler is engineered for extended outdoor adventures. Its patented separate ice compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ storage system provide triple the usable storage and industry-leading ice retention in one durable, expandable cooler. Expand from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in seconds, so you're never carrying more cooler than you need or running out of room when you do.

Why Khaki/Tan cooler?

The Khaki/Tan finish gives the PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 a natural, understated look that fits outdoor environments. Its earth-tone appearance works well for hunting trips, camping, fishing, overlanding, beach days, and other outdoor adventures.

But the real advantage of this cooler goes beyond its finish. The Model 50/80 is built around a patented separate ice compartment, ALWAYS DRY™ storage system, expandable capacity, and insulation designed to keep contents cold or hot for extended periods.

52.84 Quarts to 84.54 Quarts in Under 30 Seconds

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 gives you two sizes in one expandable design. Convert from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds, giving you the flexibility to match the cooler to the size of your trip.

For smaller trips, the 52.84 qt configuration gives you substantial storage without carrying a larger cooler than necessary. When you need more room, expand it to 84.54 qt and take advantage of the massive additional capacity.

At 52.84 qt, the cooler holds 94 x 12oz cans plus 48 lbs of ice in its separate ice compartment. Expanded to 84.54 qt, it holds 135 x 12oz cans or 92 lbs of ice.

The result is one cooler that adapts to weekend trips, extended hunting, camping, fishing expeditions, family gatherings, and larger outdoor adventures.

ALWAYS DRY™ Storage Keeps Your Gear Dry

The patented separate ice compartment keeps ice isolated in its own dedicated cavity. That means melting ice water stays away from the items stored in the dry chamber.

The ALWAYS DRY™ storage system provides a separate dry chamber for food, electronics, gear, and other items that should not be exposed to melting ice water.

Instead of digging through water and slush to find your supplies, you can keep your food, drinks, electronics, and gear organized and protected from melted ice.

The separate ice compartment also changes how you use the available space. Because ice is stored separately, the cooler does not require the traditional 2:1 ice-to-items ratio that takes up valuable storage space in conventional coolers.

Up to 18 Days of Ice Retention

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is engineered for up to 18 days of ice retention when used according to manufacturer guidelines.

Several components work together to support this performance.

Triple Custom Seal Gasket

The Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets use three custom-designed, one-piece, refrigeration-style gaskets instead of one standard gasket. This provides multiple layers of thermal leak protection and helps keep cold air inside the cooler.

Industry-Leading Insulation

The cooler uses thick, pressure-injected and chemically expanded polyurethane foam. It features over 3 inches of insulation in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom.

Combined with the triple gasket system, this insulation helps maintain cold temperatures for extended periods.

Separate Ice Compartment

Ice remains isolated in its dedicated cavity rather than sitting directly with your food and other supplies. This design helps maximize the usable storage area while keeping melting ice water away from your dry contents.

Together, these features are designed to deliver up to 18 days of ice retention when the cooler is used according to manufacturer guidelines.

Massive Storage Capacity

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is designed to give you more usable storage than a traditional cooler of a similar size.

Because the ice has its own dedicated compartment, you don't have to sacrifice a large portion of your main storage area to ice.

In the 52.84 qt configuration, the Model 50/80 holds 94 x 12oz cans plus 48 lbs of ice in its separate ice compartment.

Expand the cooler to 84.54 qt and it can hold 135 x 12oz cans or 92 lbs of ice.

That means more room for food, drinks, supplies, and outdoor gear while keeping the ice separate.

Cold or Hot Box Functionality

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is designed to work as both a cold box and a hot box.

Use it to keep drinks, food, and other contents cold during warm-weather adventures. When the season changes, its hot box functionality gives you another way to use the same cooler for warm food and other applications.

From summer fishing trips to winter camping, the Model 50/80 gives you four-season flexibility in one piece of equipment.

Built for Serious Outdoor Use

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is designed for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who needs dependable storage in demanding outdoor environments.

Its rotomolded construction provides a durable foundation for outdoor use, while the expandable design lets you adjust capacity based on your needs.

The cooler also features dual cam-action latches with integrated locking points. These deliver strong closing force with minimal effort while helping lock in cold or heat for improved retention.

Designed for Easy Handling

Large capacity does not have to mean difficult handling.

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 features ergonomic carry handles designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip.

It also includes reversible slip and non-slip feet, giving you adaptable footing across different surfaces.

For additional functionality, the cooler has 6 accessory mounting stations. Each station includes an integrated bottle opener and is designed for future quick attach/detach accessories.

$180+ in Included Accessories

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 comes with more than $180 in included accessories at no extra cost.

Free accessories include:

• 53 qt dry chamber

These accessories add more ways to organize, access, and use your cooler during outdoor trips.

The Problems It Eliminates

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is designed to solve some of the biggest problems with traditional coolers.

No more mixing your food and drinks with melting ice water. No more giving up most of your storage space to ice. No more carrying a large cooler when you only need a smaller one.

The separate ice compartment keeps melting ice water isolated. The ALWAYS DRY™ storage system protects your dry contents. The expandable design gives you two sizes in one. The cold or hot box functionality gives you four-season versatility.

And with up to 18 days of ice retention when used according to manufacturer guidelines, you can plan longer trips without depending on frequent ice replacements.

Purpose-Built for Hunters, Anglers, and Campers

The PILOT OUTDOORS® 50/80 is built for people who spend serious time outdoors.

Hunters can use the expandable storage capacity for longer trips. Anglers can keep their ice separate from their other supplies. Campers can store food, drinks, electronics, and gear without exposing dry items to melting ice water.

For overlanding, tailgating, family gatherings, fishing trips, hunting camps, and extended camping adventures, the Model 50/80 gives you the flexibility to carry what you need without taking more cooler than necessary.
