The Pilot Outdoors® Cooler Model 50/80 (Red) is engineered for hunters, anglers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need more storage without carrying more cooler than necessary. Its patented separate ice compartment and ALWAYS DRY™ storage system give you triple the usable storage while keeping your gear protected from melting ice water.
The expandable 2-in-1 design converts from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds. Use the compact 52.84 qt configuration when you need less space, then expand to 84.54 qt when you need more room. With separate ice and dry storage, you get the capacity you need without the typical 2:1 ice-to-items ratio.
To show our appreciation for your early support, we're including over $180 in accessories at no extra cost when you buy today.
Free accessories include a 53-qt dry chamber, 2 cutting boards/dividers, a perforated ice support, 6 mounting strips for future accessories, an integrated LED light, and 4 reversible footpads.
Patented Separate Ice Compartment
The Pilot Outdoors® Model 50/80 keeps ice isolated in its own dedicated cavity. This separate ice compartment prevents melting ice water from affecting the items stored in the cooler, helping keep food, gear, and other contents dry and protected.
ALWAYS DRY™ Storage System
The ALWAYS DRY™ storage system provides a separate dry chamber for food, electronics, gear, and other items that should stay away from melting ice water. This design gives you more usable storage and makes it easier to organize your cooler for longer outdoor trips.
2 Sizes in 1 Expandable Design
The Model 50/80 converts from 52.84 qt to 84.54 qt in under 30 seconds. You can keep it compact when you do not need extra capacity and expand it when more storage space is required.
In its 53 qt size, the cooler holds 94 x 12oz cans plus 48lbs of ice in its separate compartment. In its 85 qt size, it holds 135 x 12oz cans or 92lbs of ice.
Cold or Hot Box Functionality
The Pilot® Cooler works as both a cold box and a hot box, giving you flexibility across all 4 seasons. Whether you need to keep contents cold or retain heat, the Model 50/80 is designed to support different outdoor uses throughout the year.
Triple Custom Seal Gasket
The Pilot® Cooler features Ice Trap Triple Refrigeration Style Gaskets. Instead of one gasket, it uses 3 custom-designed, one-piece, refrigeration-style gaskets to provide thermal leak protection and help maximize ice retention.
Industry-Leading Insulation
Thick, pressure-injected and chemically expanded polyurethane foam provides exceptional cooling and heat retention. The cooler has over 3 inches of insulation in the walls and lid and nearly 4 inches in the bottom.
Combined with the triple refrigeration-style gaskets, this insulation helps the Pilot® Cooler deliver up to 18 days of ice retention when used according to manufacturer guidelines.
Massive Storage Capacity
The Model 50/80 is built to provide more usable storage by separating ice from your items. Unlike traditional coolers that require a 2:1 ice-to-items ratio, the Pilot® Cooler uses a dedicated ice compartment.
At 53 qt, it holds 94 x 12oz cans plus 48lbs of ice in its separate compartment. When expanded to 85 qt, it holds 135 x 12oz cans or 92lbs of ice.
Built for Outdoor Adventures
Built for hunters, anglers, and campers, the Pilot Outdoors® Model 50/80 is designed for demanding outdoor use.
Hunters can use the spacious storage for food, drinks, and harvested game meat. Anglers have room for drinks, food, and fresh catches. Campers can use the expandable capacity for longer trips, while tailgaters and outdoor travelers can adjust the cooler size based on how much storage they need.
Dual Cam-Action Latches
Dual cam-action latches provide integrated locking points with maximum closing force and minimal effort. They help secure the lid and lock in cold or heat for improved retention.
Ergonomic Carry Handles
Integrated ergonomic carry handles provide a comfortable, secure grip when transporting the cooler. The four integrated locking points help keep the cooler secure during transport and use.
6 Accessory Mounting Stations
The Pilot® Cooler features 6 accessory mounting stations, each with an integrated bottle opener. These mounting stations are ready for future quick attach/detach accessories, giving you more ways to customize your cooler for different outdoor activities.
Reversible Slip & Non-Slip Feet
Reversible slip and non-slip feet let you adapt the cooler to different surfaces. This flexible footing helps provide stability whether you're using it at a campsite, on a boat, in a truck bed, or at a tailgate.
