Pelican Air 1646 Wheeled Hard Case
Pelican™ Air Case
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.
Super-light proprietary HPX²™ Polymer
Business card holder
Automatic Purge Valve - Keeps water and dust out while balancing air pressure
Made from lightweight HPX2 polymer, the Pelican Air 1646 Wheeled Hard Case protects sensitive gear during transport—even if your baggage handlers aren't as gentle as you'd prefer. This iteration of the Air 1646 comes with a pick-and-pluck foam insert that lets you customize the storage to your specific gear and a convoluted foam lid insert. Carry your case using one of the three overmolded handles or if it's too heavy, extend the pull handle and tow it behind you on its two low-profile, quiet-running wheels.
