## Description

The Pelican Air is 28% lighter than its equivalent, and up to 40% lighter than other polymer cases. Pelican Air cases will lighten the loads of the dedicated professionals and adventurers across the world who have set out to change the game. Pelican Air cases are the first in a series of remarkable innovations engineered by Pelican, the pioneers of protective cases. For over 40 years Pelican has designed and crafted the most influential protective cases in the world, and we’re just getting started. With the launch of the Pelican Air line of cases, we’re redefining the future of protection with a remarkable union of light and tough. The Pelican Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability. Our engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving Pelican's legendary standards of strength. In development for years, the design team challenged the status quo to "add lightness" in every detail. Here are some important reasons why Pelican Air cases are both strong and light: Molded from the next generation of Pelican's lightweight HPX resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking Honeycomb structural elements that are actually stronger than solid polymer material Super-stiff "full box" sections engineered to create hollow parts

Review: Sturdy and Reliable for Traveling Engineers - As a controls engineer who frequently travels to different projects, the Pelican Air 1535 has been an invaluable companion. It fits all my tools and necessary equipment, and after more than 100 flights, it still performs very well. It has scratches and some deeper scuffs due to airline handling, but it has never been seriously damaged, which speaks to its durability. I like its lightweight yet sturdy design, and the fact that it is approved as carry-on luggage makes traveling much easier. One aspect that could be improved is the wheels: when walking and turning slightly, the suitcase tends to tilt and loses some stability. I suppose this is inevitable with heavy-duty wheels. If you plan to transport tools like I do, I recommend buying it without foam, since unless you’re carrying cameras or delicate equipment, the foam ends up stored away in the closet. Overall, the Pelican Air 1535 is robust, reliable, and perfect for professionals who need to protect their equipment during frequent travel.
Review: The last case you'll ever need. - Awesome case. My only regret is that I didn't spring for the insert system instead of the foam. For the extra $50 or so, the inserts are infinitely adjustable so you can reconfigure as you change your gear over the years. The "Pick and Pluck" foam allows you to get down to 1/4" increments, but once you've made the openings, you'll have to buy new foam inserts in the future. I also bought the lid storage. It's a must have in order to hold all of the accessories like filters, batteries, lens cleaning kits, and other items. At first I thought that there wouldn't be enough room to close the top, but there are two layers of top foam. Take one out and you have room for the storage layer. This is probably by design. As far as construction - it is legendary, and I looked at some of the competition - Don't bother. This is the gold standard. It has wheels and is acceptable for all airline carry-on. I haven't tried it yet, but it is the same size as my regular carry-on luggage that I fly with.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Case! Worth the cost.
*by W***S on July 28, 2020*

Great travel tool case at a cheaper price than what you can buy from pelicans website. Very durable and easy to customize. I purchased foam and an organizer separately to make this my personal traveling tool box. Built well and is backed by pelicans lifetime warranty. The bright orange makes it easy to spot at the airport baggage claim.
