Pelican 1535 Air Wheeled Carry-On Case

The Pelican 1535 Air is a silver, foam-free carry-on case from 2017 built for photographers and travellers who need lightweight, watertight protection. Its HPX polymer shell resists impacts while meeting most airline overhead-bin requirements. Buyers who need custom foam inserts or a larger checked-bag size should look elsewhere.

Installation and common issues

No tools are required; extend the retractable handle and roll on the stainless-steel bearing wheels. The automatic purge valve equalises pressure without user action. A frequent oversight is forgetting to latch the purge valve after air travel, which can compromise the watertight seal.

Automatic purge valve

The case features an automatic purge valve that keeps water and dust out while balancing internal air pressure during altitude changes. This single mechanism maintains the watertight integrity without manual adjustment. If the valve is damaged or left open, the case will not stay watertight.

  • Retractable extension handle and quiet stainless-steel bearing wheels simplify airport transit

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the automatic purge valve is balancing air pressure after I close the case?

The valve operates automatically; when the case is sealed it equalises pressure while keeping water and dust out, so no manual check is needed.

What does the no-foam 1535 Air case include and what must I add for camera gear?

The case ships with the HPX polymer shell, retractable extension handle, quiet stainless-steel bearing wheels, business card holder and purge valve; foam inserts or padded dividers are sold separately.

Which 1535 Air version should I choose for carry-on use in silver?

The 2017 silver model 015350-0012-180 is the foam-free carry-on variant; select it if you want the lightest Air case to customise with your own interior.
