40% lighter than other polymer cases. Combining
strength and
lightness, the Pelican 1485 Air Case is

dustproof, and
optimized for travel. For travel by air, Pelican has aggregated available airline rules for maximum overhead and check-in dimensions, with the goal of creating a case that conforms to their requirements.

super-light proprietary
HPX polymer, with
honeycomb structural elements, which is up to
40% lighter than most other Pelican polymers. This confidence-inspiring design has been
drop-tested on concrete on all sides and corners while loaded with gear. Not content with stopping there, the case has also been tested with a
28 lb steel dart dropped from a height of
three feet. Fully featured, the case has ABS double-throw latches that accept a user-supplied padlock, a watertight O-ring gasket, an
automatic purge valve, and
stainless steel hasp protectors. Users will appreciate the stylish conic curve lid shape and rubber overmolded handle. And for easier case ID, there's an attractive and removable polycarbonate card holder that may be placed on the front or side of the case.
Organizing equipment is an easy and straightforward operation with the Pick-N-Pluck foam interior. Simply
