Since 1976, the Pelican™ classic Protector™ case has been the go-to protective
case solution for millions of people worldwide. It has made an impact in industries
ranging from military and aerospace to photography and hunting. Today, Pelican is
proud to announce the outcome of a relentless quest to offer Pelican users more
versatility than ever before: Introducing Pelican Air cases. These new cases have
been engineered to maintain the same standard of durability, but reduce the weight
of each case by up to 40 percent and offer new size selections not currently
available in the Pelican classic or Pelican Storm lines.
Available in six long-form, travel-ready sizes, Pelican Air cases are constructed of
lightweight HPX2 resin, the next generation of Pelican’s proprietary formula that
rebounds to stress without breaking. With the busy traveler in mind, the 1535 Pelican
Air case (Wheeled Carry On) complies with overhead bin standards and the 1615
Pelican Air case (Wheeled Check In)
complies with current airline check-in
size regulations.
Additional models are currently in
development with more than 20 new
sizes making their debut over the
next 18 months. Each case passes
the same performance tests (impact,
drop, submersion, high and low
temperature) that Pelican users have
come to trust and is backed by the
company’s legendary lifetime
guarantee of excellence.
“The Pelican brand is synonymous
with protection and has set the gold standard in the protective case market for more than 40 years,” said Lyndon
Faulkner, President and CEO of Pelican Products. “While using the Pelican classic
case design as the basis for the new line, our engineers have spent the past two
years reimagining the classic case with a focus on taking out weight while
maintaining the same high level of performance customers have come to expect
from Pelican. This revolutionary Pelican Air case design underscores Pelican’s
continuing commitment to innovation and making a legendary product even better.”
To construct a lighter case, Pelican’s engineering team faced the challenge of
building lightness into every facet of the design without compromising Pelican’s
renowned durability. By working with a team of materials scientists, Pelican was able
to construct cases that are the lightest protective cases on the market today.
Pelican Air cases are available with several configurations:
- No Foam (empty)
- Pick N Pluck™ foam – manually customizable cubed foam
- Padded Dividers – newly redesigned with a fully-sewn tub, felt exterior and
high-visibility yellow interior, making it easier to identify equipment
- TrekPak™ - a completely new divider system with rigid, customizable panels
and locking pins
