{"product_id":"pelican-1605-air-hard-case","title":"Pelican 1605 Air Hard Case","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Pelican 1605 Air is a large-format hard case built for travelers and field professionals who need serious protection without serious weight. Made from Pelican's proprietary HPX2 Polymer, the 1605 Air measures 26.00 x 14.00 x 8.38 inches interior and carries IP67 and MIL-SPEC certifications for waterproof, crushproof, and dustproof performance. Available in four colors and four interior configurations, including Pick N Pluck foam, padded dividers, TrekPak, and no foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLighter Without Giving Up Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1605 Air's HPX2 Polymer shell is up to 40% lighter than standard Pelican case materials, which matters on long hauls where every pound in checked baggage or a vehicle load counts. At 9.28 lbs empty (no foam) or 11.61 lbs with foam or dividers, the 1605 Air gives you a full 26-inch interior without the weight penalty that has historically come with cases this size. Less weight in the case means more capacity for the gear inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSealed Against Water, Pressure, and Dust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1605 Air's waterproof EPDM O-ring seal and automatic pressure equalization valve work together to keep the interior dry and stable across altitude and temperature changes. The purge valve uses a Hi-Flow Gore-Tex 3 Micron Hydrophobic Non-Woven membrane that lets air pass while blocking water, so the case equalizes without cracking a seal. IP67 certification means the case withstands temporary immersion; MIL-SPEC certification covers the broader shock, vibration, and environmental envelope. The case is rated for temperatures from 0°F to 140°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware Built for the Field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress and Pull latches open and close without tools and stay secure under load. Stainless steel padlock protectors accept up to a 0.31-inch shackle diameter, so the case can be locked to a vehicle or secured in transit. The fold-down over-molded handle keeps the profile low when the case is stowed. Buoyancy is rated at 112.90 lbs, meaning a fully loaded 1605 Air will float rather than sink if it goes overboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHPX2 Polymer shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e proprietary polypropylene blend, up to 40% lighter than standard case material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 and MIL-SPEC certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e waterproof, crushproof, and dustproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic pressure equalization valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hi-Flow Gore-Tex 3 Micron Hydrophobic Non-Woven membrane balances interior pressure without admitting water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePress and Pull latches:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABS construction, tool-free open and close\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel padlock protectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31-inch padlock hole diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e and made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExterior Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e28.87 x 16.77 x 9.12 in (73.33 x 42.60 x 23.16 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e26.00 x 14.00 x 8.38 in (66.04 x 35.56 x 21.29 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.77 ft³ (0.05 m³)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLid Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.00 in (5.08 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBottom Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6.38 in (16.21 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (No Foam)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e9.28 lbs (4.21 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (With Foam or Dividers)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11.61 lbs (5.27 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBuoyancy\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e112.90 lbs (51.21 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePadlock Hole Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.31 in (0.79 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProprietary Polypropylene Blend (HPX2 Polymer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLatch Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eABS\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEPDM\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePurge Valve Membrane\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHi-Flow Gore-Tex 3 Micron Hydrophobic Non-Woven\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0°F to 140°F (-18°C to 60°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIP67, MIL-SPEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Orange, Silver, Yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Configurations\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWith Foam, No Foam, With Padded Dividers, With TrekPak Divider System\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLimited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Pelican 1605 Air suits travelers, photographers, overlanders, and field professionals who need a large-format hard case that meets airline check-in and MIL-SPEC standards while staying as light as possible.
