The Pelican 1605Air Black Compact Case without Foam is watertight, crushproof, 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. Of course, it is always recommended to contact your carrier before departing.

The Pelican 1605 case is made of a 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 to stop 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.
