{"product_id":"pelican-im2050-storm-case","title":"Pelican iM2050 Storm Case","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Pelican iM2050 Storm Case is a mid-size hard case built for overlanders, photographers, and field professionals who need watertight, crushproof, and dustproof protection in a carry-friendly footprint. Its 9.50 x 7.50 x 4.25-inch interior holds pistols, optics, electronics, and sensitive instruments, while the HPX resin shell and EPDM o-ring seal keep contents dry and intact from -20°F to 140°F. The iM2050 is available in Black, OD Green, and Yellow, with or without pre-cut polyester foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePress-and-Pull Latches That Lock Automatically\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iM2050's two Press and Pull latches snap shut on their own when the lid closes, so the case is always secured without a second thought. Opening requires only a light squeeze, which means one-handed access in the field is straightforward even with gloves on. Both latches include padlockable hasps with 0.28-inch hasp holes, so the case can be locked to a rack, secured in a vehicle, or checked as airline baggage with standard TSA-compatible locks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Seal That Holds Across Altitude and Temperature\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe continuous EPDM o-ring gasket runs the full perimeter of the lid, creating the watertight and dustproof seal the Storm line is known for. The Vortex valve is a Gore-Tex membrane purge valve that equalizes internal pressure automatically as altitude or temperature changes, so the lid opens without resistance after a mountain descent or a flight. That same valve prevents pressure buildup from trapping moisture inside. The rated operating window of -20°F to 140°F covers cold-weather storage and hot-vehicle interiors without degrading the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Last Without Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is injection-molded HPX high-performance resin, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio. The foam-loaded case weighs 3.00 lbs. Hinge pins are stainless steel (aluminum alternate pins on some configurations), and the double-layered soft-grip handle is integrated into the shell rather than attached with hardware that can loosen. The iM2050 carries a limited lifetime warranty and is made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePress and Pull Latches:\u003c\/strong\u003e two latches lock automatically on close, open with a light squeeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatertight \/ Crushproof \/ Dustproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e continuous EPDM o-ring seal around the full lid perimeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVortex Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gore-Tex membrane equalizes pressure automatically without breaking the seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHPX Resin Shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e injection-molded high-performance resin body, stainless steel hinge pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadlockable Hasps:\u003c\/strong\u003e two hasps with 0.28-inch holes accept standard padlocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e limited lifetime warranty\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\u003e11.8 x 9.8 x 4.7 in (29.97 x 24.89 x 11.94 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e9.50 x 7.50 x 4.25 in (24.13 x 19.05 x 10.8 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.18 ft³\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLid Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.50 in (3.81 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBottom Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.75 in (6.99 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (With Foam)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.00 lbs (1.36 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (No Foam)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.70 lbs (1.22 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBuoyancy\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11.10 lbs (5.03 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e-20°F to 140°F (-29°C to 60°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePadlock Hole Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.28 in (0.71 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShell Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInjection-molded HPX high-performance resin\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 Vent Membrane\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGore-Tex\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHinge Pin Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel (aluminum alternate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFoam Material (With Foam configs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.3\/1.35 polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, OD Green, Yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLimited Lifetime\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 iM2050 suits overlanders, hunters, photographers, and field technicians who need a compact, lockable hard case for pistols, optics, handheld electronics, or precision instruments that must survive water, dust, and rough handling.

Its 9.50 x 7.50 x 4.25-inch interior does not accommodate long guns, full-size laptops, or bulky multi-component kits. The No Foam configuration ships without any interior organization; buyers who need custom foam cuts will need to source insert foam separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the iM2050 Storm Case watertight, and will it float?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Pelican iM2050 Storm Case uses a continuous EPDM o-ring gasket around the full lid perimeter to create a watertight and dustproof seal. The case has a buoyancy rating of 11.10 lbs, meaning it will float with contents up to that displacement weight, which is useful for water crossings or boat use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the Vortex valve do, and do I need to do anything to maintain it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Vortex valve on the iM2050 is a Gore-Tex membrane purge valve that automatically equalizes air pressure between the inside of the case and the outside environment as altitude or temperature changes. The membrane allows air to pass while blocking water and dust, so the seal remains intact without any action from the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the iM2050 be padlocked, and what size padlock fits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe iM2050 Storm Case has two padlockable hasps with 0.28-inch (0.71 cm) diameter holes. Standard small padlocks sized for that hasp diameter fit both hasps. Locking both hasps is required for TSA-compliant checked-baggage transport of firearms; confirm current TSA and airline rules before travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the With Foam and No Foam configurations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe With Foam iM2050 includes pre-cut 1.3\/1.35 polyester foam inserts in the lid and body that cushion and retain contents. The No Foam configuration ships as an empty shell weighing 2.70 lbs (versus 3.00 lbs for the foam version) and is suited for buyers who plan to add their own custom foam, dividers, or other interior organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat temperature range can the iM2050 handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Pelican iM2050 Storm Case is rated to operate from -20°F (-29°C) to 140°F (60°C). That range covers cold-weather storage, high-altitude conditions, and the interior of a vehicle parked in direct sun, without degrading the shell material or the o-ring seal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelican","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ With Foam","offer_id":50572858294342,"sku":"IM2050-00001","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ No Foam","offer_id":50572858327110,"sku":"IM2050-00000","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OD Green \/ With Foam","offer_id":50572858359878,"sku":"IM2050-30001","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \/ With Foam","offer_id":50572858392646,"sku":"IM2050-20001","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/pelican-im2050-foam-weapon-protection-case-sq.jpg?v=1791320326","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/pelican-im2050-storm-case","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
