Pilot Outdoors® Premium Ice Chest Cooler Model 50/80 (All Colors)

White – Change

Product Description

The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 cooler is engineered with a patented separate ice compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ storage system, giving you triple the usable storage and industry-leading ice retention in a single 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.

What Sets It Apart?

Separate Ice Compartment — Ice stays isolated in its own dedicated cavity, so your items will have no impact from melting ice water.
ALWAYS DRY™ Storage — A separate dry chamber keeps food, electronics, and gear untouched by melting ice water
2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design — Converts from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds
Cold or Hot Box Functionality — The only cooler on the market that works as both a cold box and a hot box, giving you flexibility across all 4 seasons
Triple Custom Seal Gasket — The Pilot® Cooler offers unmatched ice retention up to 3x with its Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets. Instead of 1, this cooler has 3 custom-designed, one-piece, refrigeration-style gaskets that deliver unmatched thermal leak protection
Industry-Leading Insulation — Thick, pressure-injected and chemically expanded polyurethane foam, with over 3 inches in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom, for exceptional cooling and heat retention
Up to 18 Days of Ice Retention — Backed by the insulation and gasket working together, if used as per manufacturer guidelines
Massive Storage Capacity — The Model 50/80 offers unmatched capacity. By keeping ice in a separate chamber, this cooler doesn't require a 2:1 ice-to-items ratio. In its 53 qt size, it holds 94 x 12oz cans plus 48lbs of ice in its separate compartment. Switch to 85 qt, and it holds 135 x 12oz cans or 92lbs of ice — triple the capacity of competitors.
Dual Cam-Action Latches — Integrated locking points deliver maximum closing force with minimal effort, locking in cold or heat for ultimate retention
Ergonomic Carry Handles — 4 integrated locking points for a comfortable, secure grip
6 Accessory Mounting Stations — Each with an integrated bottle opener, ready for future quick attach/detach accessories
Reversible Slip & Non-Slip Feet — Adaptable footing for any surface
$180+ in Included Accessories — Cutting boards, LED light, and more, at no extra cost

Built for hunters, anglers, campers, and anyone who refuses to let gear slow them down.

Comparison

Awesome!

Kept our drinks chilled over our mutual-day event for the BMW tournament. Loved it!

Honestly didn't expect much. Now I won't shut up about it.

Let me be real — I almost didn't buy this. The price made me pause, I'd been burned by overhyped gear before, and my buddy kept telling me just to grab another Yeti. I went back and forth for like three weeks. Finally just pulled the trigger one night and figured, worst case I'd return it.

I took it on a four-day deer hunting trip in eastern Oklahoma last October. First morning, I opened it to grab my breakfast and — I know this sounds dumb — but the food was just... dry. Like, actually dry. No puddle at the bottom. No wet paper towel smell. Nothing floating. I've been hunting and camping my whole life and I genuinely thought that was just how coolers worked.

Our Beach and Camping Cooler
We alternate between beach weekends and mountain camping, and this cooler handles both. The dry compartment has been huge for keeping the kids' snacks away from the drinks and ice. It's not cheap, but we've already gotten so much use out of it I stopped thinking about the price after the first month. Really well made.

My dad would've loved this thing. I bought it for me. It's for both of us now.

I landed on the Pilot Outdoors Model 50/80 after a lot of reading. First trip out, I opened it on the boat after four hours in direct Gulf sun — and my sandwiches were dry. My drinks were cold. The separate ice chamber keeps the melt water completely locked away from your food. No slurry. No soggy anything. I just sat there on the water for a second, thinking — yeah, Pop would've gotten a real kick out of this.

this thing is beast

Flipping between the 53 qt. and 85 qt. setup takes less than a minute, the drain empties fast, and the motion-activated LED in the lid is genuinely delightful at night. It's a little heavy when it's packed full — but so is a cooler that actually works. This one earns it. Do yourself a favor and stop settling for less.
