The science behind strength and lightness

The Pelican™ Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability.

Our engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving Pelican’s legendary standards of strength. Here are some important reasons why Pelican™ Air cases are both strong and light:

Molded from the next generation of Pelican's lightweight HPX™ resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking
Honeycomb structural elements that are actually stronger than solid polymer material
Super-stiff "full-box" sections engineered to create hollow parts

Up to the test

It wouldn't be a Pelican™ case if you couldn't sink it, drop it, or kick it - and the Pelican™ Air case is no different.

Drop-tested on concrete with loads from six feet on all sides and corners
Submerged for 20 minutes at a depth of one meter
Wheels are roll tested over 914 meters
28 lbs (12.7 kg) steel dart dropped on all sides from one meter
