Pelican Air Cases
40% Lighter than Other Polymer Cases
Engineered for easy transport without compromising strength or protection.
Press & Pull™ Latches

Protection, Engineered Lighter.
Up to 40% lighter. The same uncompromising protection. Built for those who never stop moving. Made in USA.
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.
