Is the Pelican 1170 case truly waterproof and dustproof for Indian conditions?

Yes, the Pelican 1170 case is IP67 rated, meaning it is completely dustproof and can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This level of protection is essential for India's varied climate, from humid coastal areas to dusty inland regions, ensuring your gear stays dry and protected.

How does the Pelican 1170 case protect my equipment from impact and vibration?

The case features a high-density foam interior, including customizable Pick N Pluck foam and convoluted lid foam. This allows you to create a snug, shock-absorbent fit for your items, significantly reducing damage from impacts and vibrations during transit or handling.

Can I use the Pelican 1170 case for air travel in India?

Absolutely. The automatic pressure equalization valve balances interior pressure with atmospheric changes, preventing the case from being difficult to open after flights or altitude shifts. This feature is crucial for air travel and ensures the watertight seal remains effective.

What is the difference between this Pelican case and local storage boxes?

Pelican cases offer superior protection with their Ultra High Impact polycarbonate construction, making them virtually unbreakable, watertight, and dustproof to military standards. Local storage boxes typically offer basic dust resistance but lack the robust watertight integrity, crushproof resilience, and extreme temperature tolerance of a Pelican case.

How do I customize the foam inside the Pelican 1170 case?

The case comes with Pick N Pluck foam, which consists of pre-scored cubes. You can easily remove these cubes to create a custom-fit shape for your specific equipment, ensuring a secure and protective enclosure for items like cameras, firearms, or sensitive electronics.

What is the warranty on the Pelican 1170 case?

Pelican offers a lifetime warranty on their cases, covering defects in materials and workmanship. While the case itself is guaranteed for life, the foam insert is a consumable component and may show signs of wear over time with regular use.

Why choose this product

Unrivaled Durability & Protection

Pelican cases are engineered for extreme environments, far exceeding the protection offered by typical local storage boxes. Constructed from Ultra High Impact structural polycarbonate, they are virtually indestructible, watertight, and dustproof to IP67 standards. This means your valuable gear, whether it's a camera for a trek in the Himalayas or sensitive equipment for fieldwork, remains completely safe from water, dust, and impact. Unlike generic alternatives, Pelican's design ensures your items are protected against drops, vibrations, and harsh weather, providing peace of mind for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Ideal for Indian Conditions & Travelers

This case is perfect for anyone needing robust protection in India's diverse climate and travel scenarios. Its watertight seal and dustproof construction are essential for monsoon season or dusty terrains. The automatic pressure equalization valve makes it ideal for air travel, preventing issues with cabin pressure changes. While local plastic boxes offer basic dust protection, they lack the watertight integrity and crushproof resilience of this Pelican case. It’s best suited for those who transport valuable or sensitive items and require guaranteed protection against the elements and physical stress.

How to use

Lay out the Pick N Pluck foam and convoluted lid foam. Arrange your equipment inside the case to determine the best fit. Carefully remove the pre-scored foam cubes to create precise cutouts for each item, ensuring a snug and protective enclosure. — Prepare the Foam
Gently place your items into the custom-cut foam compartments. Ensure all equipment is securely nestled within the foam, with no excessive movement or pressure points. Close the lid, checking that it closes without obstruction. — Place Equipment
Close the double throw latches firmly. The O-ring seal will engage, creating a watertight barrier. If traveling by air, the automatic pressure equalization valve will adjust for altitude changes, ensuring the case remains easy to open upon arrival. — Secure the Case
