the key to all of this that so many forget, is to use a sacrificial bag of ice prior to the trip, to pre-cool the cooler. we do this the night before we leave.
then toss that, fill with new ice and your contents, and you're set for literally days
i totally get the need for products geared towards overlanding, expeditions, safaris, wilderness excursions, and the like. stuff gets beat to hell. and a lot of equipment like this has lifetime guarantees. and i know military uses a lot of pelican products.
for almost everyone deal hunting on SD though, this thing is complete and utter overkill. even if you use a cooler weekly on boating trips for fishing, those coleman/igloo marine ones are perfectly sufficient, and can be had for under $50. and the "XTreme" ones for even less.
Small. Heavy.
If you don't properly "season" it before using, it's useless.
$40 Wal-Mart coolers are better for drinks than this.
Like the above posts said, it's better for meat or use with something that is not going to be opened and closed all day.
An igloo marine or an igloo max cool can keep ice for nearly as long, cost 1/3rd as much, and are far lighter.
Unless your specific use case needs ice for 5 days OR you need the thing to be used as a chair(like on a boat), I just dont see much reason for this. Might as well just save your money. Or are you going on week long camping excursions regularly?
I'm with you, the only people buying this should be multi day campers and boaters. Anyone else doesn't need a cooler that last for more than a day, and at that price, just go cheap.
