Pelican 1615 Air Case no Foam (Orange)

This case is great. I’m a military contractor and I’ve been on 10 tours over seas in the roughest parts of the world and this case has protected everything I send in it. It has a great warranty and has never broke on me compared to all the Lowe’s and Home Depot boxes I have bought in the past. Buy it you won’t regret it. By the time you buy 6 cheap ones that break on one trip you would have paid what this thing cost. Worth every penny and it is light compared to other pelicans.

Pilot traveling a lot....I mean A LOT. I was looking for a strong and durable suitcase and boy am I happy with this one. It's waterproof which some of the knockoffs are only water resistant....big difference. The capacity is perfect for enough clothes and supplies for a two week trip. All of the latching mechanisms are great and really hold well. Negative pressure valve built-in too, so these engineers were really thinking hard on this one. Warranty on the whole thing for life too so I'm a huge fan now. Plus, it has that tactical feel and appearance which doesn't hurt. No need to tie a red string on the handle either....I'm the only one with this handsome case at the baggage claim. Overall and after several months of travel using it I'd buy it all over again. Highly recommended for anyone.

I just received these and they are outstanding, as expected from Pelican. They are much lighter than a normal Pelican this size and they seem just as sturdy. I haven't actually tried to see what it takes to break them, nor do I plan on it, but I can stand on it without it breaking. These are pricey, but if you need to protect something even more expensive while you fly, or store something expensive, these are a good way to go. There was a note inside of the cases about using desiccant, which I didn't think about when I purchased them. If it is short term I think you will be okay, but if you are going to use one of these to store something long term they would probably be a good idea.

I am the one in my family that has to carry the stuff. With this case I can fit as much as the airline will allow, pack it all in and if I really need more space between me and my wife then we are taking to much, really and truly to much. My wife wanted LV bags and was VERY upset when this arrived, she said it was ugly and etc etc, after one trip she loves it. We can both pack our clothes and she can then pack in all her accessories, once we close the lid neither of us have to worry about anything breaking or bursting or what ever. She can actually bring all the stuff she wants to bring and not have to worry about leaving something behind while trying to cram stuff into two smaller bags. The arm that extends to pull it with does not feel bullet proof it is bendy but I have not have any issue with it not doing what its supposed to do.

Having traveled the world with a Storm 2950, I am very pleased with both cases. 14 lbs. empty on the 1615 and 25 lbs. empty for the 2950, sometimes had to pay more for overweight with the 2950. Fully loaded and some tools it was expected. I could stand on it, I would not try that with the 1615 being over 225 lbs. myself. It is a lot tougher than any tourist luggage and not bad on the weight. It is still plastic really, so don't be dumb and it will last. You cant do anything about poor baggage handling. *Do yourself a favor and label the push buttons or some gorilla will break the latch, thinking it is like an older Pelican snap latch!

Used this for three years now averaging every other week air travel. I added the lid organizer. Enough space for clothes, computer, documentation, some tools. I've shipped this via fedex and ups, and it gets tossed around by airlines, with no visible signs of damage other than scrapes and scratches. Gets tossed into the bed of pickups and tied to the roof on occasion, never had a leak or any damage. Probably the best investment in travel gear I've ever made. On top of that, I get constant compliments on it.

I used one of these and a 1510 for a cross country trip. Pelicans are great as luggage. The 1615 held a week of clothes for 2 people and still came in under the 50lb checked limit. The 1510 was used as a carry on and held all fragile and valuable items. The 1615 survived the TSA and the baggage "handlers" just fine. Scuffs and scrapes, but everything inside was perfectly protected. Seeing the baggage cart sitting in the rain while waiting to be loaded didn't concern me at all. Other people looked worried, but not me. I knew my stuff would be dry no matter how long it sat.

I recieved a message just now saying the case was delivered and handed directly to a resident. No one will even be home for another 5 hours. The delivery guys need to do a better job of taking a picture infront of my door or what ever. I had another product that was delivered to the building next door and it said left in my mail room.... Packages are not left in a mail room, they are left at our doors. But it wasnt at either location. I told Amazon it was not there and they promptly sent me another one until it was found 2 days later. So I appreciate Amazon's response to that situation. I will update this review when I get home but either way, who ever this product was left with, was not me. Update: Product was left at the door per normal so I am happy with that. Amazon does need to do a better job with their delivery confirmations though. For the product: I am extremely happy with it. New and improved Pelican case. The exact measurements allowed for flight 62" max size and sooooo much lighter than original Pelican cases. The structure is amazingly strong still. I actually stood and bounced on it just for fun to see strength. As former military I can tell you when I take this overseas, it'll be able to ship in the mail or fly with and will be able to handle anything we toss at it. I'm about to order another one!

Awesome product and very well made. I only took off a star for thickness and durability because the lid is a little more flimsy then I thought it would be. I understand they did this to keep the weight down so it is what it is. Still the best case on the market by far and I will get another one soon but maybe not the air series this time.

Was concerned that because it was thinner material that the durability may be affected. I can verify that a 220 lb. man can stand on the cover when latched with no damage. Still the same great quality as the rest of the Pelican products. UPDATE !!! I travelled from Nova Scotia to Cuba recently with this case. TSA was rough as hell on the case but it stood up well. A few minor scratches but that's it. They didnt even manage to break the bottles of rum that I had inside on the trip home. Well worth the investment.

Qualité Pelican originale. Léger et robuste , tres bon achat

A++ always as described

La maleta es de muy buena calidad y tiene suficiente espacio tanto que para mi estartura de 1.85 me quedo demasiado grande para transportar por aeropuerto
