Pelican is proud to announce our bear resistant certification from the interagency grizzly bear committee. The purpose of this certification is to help keep bears safe and significantly reduce bear human encounters by ensuring that bears do not have access and become conditioned to anthropogenic foods and other bear attractants that increase these encounters. This certification involves intense impact and penetration testing by use of visual inspection, mechanical methods and captive grizzly bear testing over extended periods of time. Pelican elite coolers are certified bear-resistant by the IGBC under certification numbers 3365, 3366, 3373, 3374, 3375, 3376.
