Cooler Baskets

The Pro 85 cooler is extremely well made, and the design is impressive, intelligent, and well thought out. Its not cheap but it's a quality item that should last a lifetime. My only complaint is my Amazon purchase, which was made from the Canyon Store, said all Pro Series Coolers come with the dry storage basket... mine did not. Consequently I had to purchase the basket separately, directly from Canyon, and I then had to pay an additional $26/28 plus shipping. The Canyon Amazon site needs to be more clear about the inclusion of the basket.

I wasn't sure I actually needed them, but I am so glad I got both the divider and at least 2 of the baskets. Beyond the actual ice retention, the internal organization of the Canyon Coolers Prospector 103 is where you can tell this thing was designed by people who actually live out of their coolers. ​The most clever part is the multi-tier basket system. Most coolers just have one shallow tray, but the Prospector has two different levels molded into the walls. You can fit up to four Canyon Prospector Baskets inside at once. What’s really smart is that the baskets are height-adjustable—if you rotate them 90 degrees, they sit at a different depth. It makes it easy to keep your "dry" food like bread or eggs way up high, while keeping things like meat or veggies just above the ice line. ​The Prospector 103 Divider is just as well-thought-out. It’s made from heavy-duty, food-safe plastic, so it doubles as a cutting board when you pull it out. They even recently updated the design to be a bit shorter so it can slide in right underneath the baskets without hitting them. It’s a small detail, but it means you can have a fully organized, divided cooler and still use the top-row trays at the same time.

The fit was pretty tight. Had to bend them a bit to actually fit. Which may be good so they won’t slide around. Wish they would have made them wider so they butted up against one another. They will work.
