Prospector 85 Quart Cooler

For the longest journeys and the harshest miles. Engineered for remote overlanding expeditions, extended multi-day river runs, and serious big-game hunting, the Prospector 85 is our flagship premium ice chest.

Featuring extra-thick, pressure-injected insulation and a heavy-duty foam seal, it delivers unrivaled, best-in-class ice retention—even under the brutal Arizona sun. With its low-profile, square architecture, this heavy-duty cooler maximizes storage space while fitting like an absolute glove in mid-size truck beds, SUVs, and standard 12-foot raft frames.

Why It Dominates Expedition Gear:

  • Zero-Clearance Hinge: Open the lid fully even when the cooler is shoved directly against a boat hull, truck cab, or packed tightly underneath heavy camping gear.

  • Dual Smart-Drain Plugs: Equipped with both front and side drain plugs that feature standard garden hose threads. Drain your meltwater effortlessly from any angle without unlashing your rig.

  • No-Waste Straight-Wall Design: Squared edges eliminate dead space in your pack layout, keeping your load stable and flush through rough, washboard dirt roads.

  • Integrated Rigging Lip Slots: Heavy-duty front and rear lip slots let you run cam straps completely over the top, securing the cooler to a raft frame or truck deck without blocking quick access to your food.

  • Built for a Lifetime: Rotomolded with premium, UV25 to UV40 impact-resistant kayak plastic and backed by Canyon's legendary, no-hassle lifetime warranty.
