Overview

The Pelican 20QT Elite Cooler is a high-performance hard cooler built for camping trips, fishing outings, and any adventure where keeping contents cold is critical. Boasting a 21.5-quart internal volume, it can hold up to 15 beverage cans or 19 lbs of ice at a time. Thanks to 2” thick polyurethane insulation and a freezer-grade seal, this cooler delivers extreme ice retention, capable of keeping ice intact for multiple days in the field. When it comes to finding the best cooler for camping or road trips in Canada, the Pelican 20QT stands out – it’s compact enough to carry easily yet tough enough for the wild. (Pelican Elite Coolers are known to hold ice for up to 10 days in ideal conditions, so you can trust the smaller 20QT to perform when you need it.)

Every component of the 20QT Elite Cooler is engineered for durability and ease of use. It features Pelican’s famous Press & Pull latches that securely lock the lid but open with a simple push (even with gloved hands). The top lid has integrated cup holders to securely hold your drinks at the campsite, and there are molded-in tie-down slots so you can strap the cooler down in a truck bed or boat. Non-skid, non-marking raised feet keep the cooler from sliding around and protect your vehicle’s surfaces. While the 20QT is built like a tank – tough polypropylene shell and stainless steel hardware – it’s also designed with portability in mind, featuring ergonomic handles for comfortable carrying.

Rugged yet versatile, the Pelican 20QT is ideal for both outdoor recreation and professional use. It’s IGBC-certified bear-resistant when padlocked, offering peace of mind during backcountry camping in bear country. For hunters, fishermen, or anyone needing to transport perishables, this cooler ensures your game meat, fish, or gourmet deliveries arrive cold and safe. And with Pelican’s lifetime guarantee on Elite Coolers, you know it’s a long-term investment. From weekend camping in Algonquin to day-to-day delivery tasks in Toronto’s urban jungle, the Pelican 20QT Elite Cooler delivers top-tier cooling performance wherever you go
