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

The Pilot Outdoors® 50/80 orange ice chest cooler is engineered for fishing, camping, tailgating, hunting, and any outdoor adventure where you need reliable cold or hot storage. Its patented separate ice compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ storage system give you triple the usable storage while helping deliver industry-leading ice retention. The expandable design lets you switch from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in seconds, so you can carry only the space you need.

Why Orange Cooler?

The orange color makes your gear easy to spot at campsites, tailgates, fishing docks, and other outdoor locations. Its bright finish provides high visibility, making it easier to locate your cooler and supplies in busy or demanding environments.

At a busy tailgate, campsite, or boat dock, you can quickly spot your orange cooler without searching through a pile of gear.

Two Sizes, One Cooler

The Pilot Outdoors® Model 50/80 changes from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds. Use the smaller size when you do not need extra capacity, then expand it when you need more room. You get two sizes in one cooler without having to carry a second cooler.

Separate Ice Compartment

The patented separate ice compartment keeps ice isolated in its own dedicated cavity. Melting ice water stays away from your food, drinks, electronics, and other gear, while the separate design means you do not need to follow the traditional 2:1 ice-to-items ratio.

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. Expanded to 84.54 qt, it holds 135 x 12oz cans or 92 lbs of ice.

ALWAYS DRY™ Storage

The ALWAYS DRY™ storage system gives you a dedicated dry chamber for food, electronics, and gear. Because the dry storage is separated from the ice cavity, your items stay protected from melting ice water.

This design gives you more usable storage than a traditional cooler while keeping wet and dry items separated.
