Pelican 1557 Air Case for Gear Protection

The Pelican 1557 Air case provides waterproof, crushproof and dustproof protection for cameras, electronics and other sensitive equipment. Its proprietary HPX polymer shell is up to 40 percent lighter than standard models while maintaining rugged durability. The case ships without foam so you can add custom Pick N Pluck inserts or use your own padding. Bright orange colour makes it easy to spot in the field.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The automatic pressure equalisation valve balances interior pressure during altitude or temperature changes while keeping water out. A waterproof O-ring seal maintains a tight barrier against rain, splashes and submersion. Stainless steel padlock protectors resist cutting and corrosion over long trips. Press and Pull latches stay secure under vibration and repeated opening cycles. The fold-down over-moulded handle reduces strain during extended carries.

Pre-Purchase Checks

Verify that your gear dimensions fit the internal cavity before ordering because no foam is included. Confirm you have or will buy Pick N Pluck foam or alternative padding to prevent items from shifting. Ensure the orange colour meets any visibility or branding requirements you may have. Check that the latch style and padlock holes suit your security workflow.
