Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Pelican 1150 Protector Case suitable for extreme environments?

The Pelican 1150 Protector Case is designed to withstand extreme conditions due to its watertight, crushproof, and dustproof construction. The case features a solid wall design with an open cell core, ensuring it is both strong and lightweight. Its automatic pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock, making it easy to open even after altitude or temperature changes. These features make it ideal for protecting sensitive equipment during arctic expeditions or high-impact field operations.

How does the Pick N Pluck foam enhance the case's protective capabilities?

The Pick N Pluck foam in the Pelican 1150 allows for a customized fit, providing tailored protection for your gear. This foam can be easily shaped to snugly fit around your equipment, reducing movement and absorbing shocks during transport. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for safeguarding delicate electronics or tools that require specific positioning within the case.

What certifications does the Pelican 1150 Protector Case have?

The Pelican 1150 Protector Case is certified with IP67 and Def Stan 81-41 standards. IP67 certification ensures the case is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Def Stan 81-41 is a military standard that further attests to the case's durability and reliability in harsh conditions. These certifications provide peace of mind for users who rely on the case in critical situations.

Can the Pelican 1150 Protector Case be used for storing food or water?

While the Pelican 1150 is watertight and durable, it is not specifically designed for food or water storage. Its primary purpose is to protect sensitive equipment and electronics. For food and water storage solutions, consider exploring our water storage and filtration options that are specifically designed to meet those needs.

Is the Pelican 1150 Protector Case suitable for use in a bug out bag?

The compact and rugged design of the Pelican 1150 makes it an excellent choice for inclusion in a bug out bag. Its ability to protect critical items from water, dust, and impact is invaluable during emergency evacuations. For more tips on building a comprehensive bug out bag, you can refer to our complete bug out bag guide.

How does the automatic pressure equalization valve work?

The automatic pressure equalization valve on the Pelican 1150 balances internal and external air pressure. This feature prevents vacuum lock, allowing the case to be opened easily after experiencing altitude or temperature changes. It ensures that the case remains watertight while equalizing pressure, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your gear during transport.

What are the tradeoffs of using the Pelican 1150 for long-term storage?

While the Pelican 1150 offers excellent protection, its small size may limit its use for long-term storage of larger items. The case is ideal for compact, high-value items like electronics or tools but may not be suitable for bulkier gear. For extensive storage needs, consider larger cases or alternative storage solutions that can accommodate more volume.

Can the Pelican 1150 Protector Case float?

Yes, the Pelican 1150 Protector Case can float with a buoyancy of up to 8 lbs (3.6 kg). This feature is particularly useful for water-based activities or environments where the risk of submersion exists. However, it's important to ensure that the total weight of the contents does not exceed the buoyancy limit to maintain flotation.

What materials are used in the construction of the Pelican 1150?

The Pelican 1150 is constructed using high-quality materials for durability and protection. The body and latch are made from polypropylene, while the O-ring is crafted from a polymer to ensure a watertight seal. Stainless steel hardware is used for corrosion resistance, and the foam is 1.3 lb polyurethane, providing a reliable cushioning system for your gear.

Is the Pelican 1150 Protector Case suitable for air travel?

The Pelican 1150 Protector Case is well-suited for air travel due to its compact size and pressure equalization features. Its automatic pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock, making it easy to open after changes in cabin pressure. Additionally, its rugged design ensures that sensitive equipment remains protected from the rigors of air transport. However, always check with your airline for specific regulations regarding carry-on or checked luggage.
