I bought two Pelicans this weekend and they are great not to mention got a 95 qt and 65 qt for price of one 95 qt Yeti. My opinion I like the better locking clips on latches instead of rubber. Hard locking plastic handle instead of rope. Kept ice all weekend without having to put any in. Plus for lunch thieves has a place to put a lock on the lid.

Not knocking you by any means here but the rope handles was what I prefered when I got my K2 and Yeti over the plastic handles. Other than price I would imagine the only difference between the K2 and Yetis is the metal handle vs the nylon strap. Like already stated, no issues with either K2 or Yeti rubber latches on mine. FYI I have the Yeti 85 and K2 50.

No problem man I could see some people like the rope handles I preferred that plastic ones. You know all a personal preference so I appreciate both opinions. I did have a friend with a Yeti this weekend and he like the Pelican better. But like I said all a preference think he is safe either way. I will say they are all heavy though

No doubt on them being heavy. My 85 Yeti is 35lbs before the beer goes in it. My problem with the pelican plastic handles probably stems from the horrific memories of the igloo/coleman handles breaking half way up the side of the boat full of ice. I guess I associate all plastic handles together lol.
