Pelican Protector Cases
Military-Grade Protection
Our Protector cases have been designed to meet rigorous US/NATO mil-spec certifications, including an IP67 rating.
Waterproof, Dustproof, Crushproof
Built to protect your gear against the harshest conditions
Where The Legend Began
Proven protection for the gear, the pursuit, and everything riding on it. Made in USA.
Since 1976
The Case That Set The Standard
We invented the hard protective case in 1976 – not to fill a shelf, but because the gear people depend on deserved better. The Protector Case was our first answer to that challenge. Fifty years on, it remains the industry benchmark so we continue our pursuit of making the best protective case in the world.
Built Without Compromise
Watertight. Crushproof. Dustproof.
These are the standards that launched the industry. IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof through precision engineering and O-ring seal. Crushproof through the solid-wall HPX™ construction we've refined for five decades. The Protector Case holds all three — because your gear doesn't deserve "good enough."
Precision-Fit Protection
Your Kit. Your Layout. Your Case.
Protection is only as good as the fit. Choose Pick N Pluck™ foam, or padded dividers, TrekPak™ panels, and EZ-Click™ MOLLE on select cases — each configuring precisely around your pursuit. Tailored protection, straight from the original. Backed by our Lifetime Guarantee of Excellence.
The Brand That Invented Protection
Built to
Protect.
