Overview

Pelican understands that finding the right protection, with the perfect fit for your gear, is a priority. Pelican™ Air began with long protection and quickly grew to offer you deep protection. The time has come to combine those two in order to create Pelican’s new Long/Deep Series. Gone are the days of dangerously forcing your equipment into the wrong size case or leaving it unprotected with no other options. With Pelican’s Long/Deep series, we’ve created the missing link so that no matter the demands of your gear, Pelican has you covered.

The Air Difference

Same Protection. Smarter Engineering.

Five decades of engineering obsession produced one breakthrough: proprietary HPXA resin. The same relentless pursuit that built the industry standard — now applied to making it up to 40% lighter. This is what innovation looks like when heritage drives it.

Built Without Compromise

Watertight. Crushproof. Dustproof. Lighter.

The standards that define every Pelican case — Air holds all three without exception. IP67-rated waterproof. Crushproof. Dustproof. The weight changed, but the uncompromising protection didn't. That's not a trade-off. That's engineering.
