Customers are mixed about the portability of the ice chest. Some mention it's surprisingly rugged, yet comfortable to carry. They say the Pelican shape makes it easier to hold and haul with one hand as a hard cooler. However, some say that it'd be hard to carry for distances for a single person and the gasket is skinny.

"...It is a leaner and less efficient option than the heavy duty 3" thick rotomolded coolers...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the ice chest. They mention that it's not worth the price, it'll only be useful as a party bucket, and it'd be better off with a different brand.

Customers are dissatisfied with the seal of the ice chest. They mention that it's not great, the latches were dented, and the seal looks like it was replaced. Some say that the seal was creased, deformed, and has a gap. Additionally, some customers say that it leaks slowly.

"...One thing I noticed readily was that the lid does NOT seal _tightly_. There's no noticable sealing taking place when you close and lock the lid...." Read more

"Quality control could be better. The gasket is deformed in areas and has a gap where the ends meet...." Read more

"...The seal is not great thus regular ice melted in quickly (<2 days) ice packs lasted l her, but items weren’t as cold...." Read more

"...There was no issue with the seal either; It was immaculate...." Read more

4 Stars
Works well for my application
When I opened the package I noticed the cooler was covered in a white dust from the factory, it came off with a little water no big deal. They could have used a better gasket for the 200$ price point. As other reviewers have stated, mine came with a 1/8&#34; gap. Also, all 4 corners of the gasket were seperating when I received it. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or not. Even with the gap my cooler was able to hold ice for the advertised 3 days. It has a simple clip/latch design that should hold up to some abuse. The 4 tie down holes and the contoured side are a nice touch. The 'Pelican' emblems on the cooler are just glorified stickers. As you can see in the photos, the hinges arent lined up perfectly, but they're smooth and quiet.I searched high and low for dimensions on this cooler and could only find vague measurements on their website. Ended up having to call Pelican themselves and it took me 45 minutes until someone could tell me what I needed to know. So if anybody is curious the outside bottom of the cooler is 13.5 x 9 inchesOriginally purchased for 195.00 and it went on sale a week later for 139.99. Amazon refused to price match the sale, so I had to send my cooler back, get a refund, and then buy the same exact cooler that was on sale. If Amazon wants to waste company money on shipping, and receiving back used items - so be it.For 139.99 it's a great cooler that should last many years.4 Stars for the Pelican Elite 20qt cooler3 Stars for Amazons policies
