Perfect for my high-dollar ham radio gear

On: 2009-06-22

Im a Pelican believer now. I bought several Pelican cases, including the 1600, to transport ham radio gear, AGM batteries, computers, and camera gear from South Carolina to Oregon in my pickup truck (3100 miles with the side trips).
I am in the phenomenally dusty desert environment of the eastern slope of the Cascades for the summer (staffing a USFS fire lookout tower in the Deschutes wilderness).
While not in use, I keep the electronic gear in the Pelicans .. safe from water and dust, and safe from the destructive "pack-rats" in my lookout towers storage shed (they only go to the shed on my off days .. when the relief lookout is in the tower).
Pack-rats can get into almost anything .. but not a Pelican. Bet the people at Pelican never used that sales pitch!

A Gorilla Proof Case

Even though I read that Pelican cases were known to be rugged, I was impressed when I received the model 1450. It could easily have been used in the old luggage commercials that demonstrated indestructability with a gorilla doing his best to destroy a suitcase. This case is a veritable Fort Knox. The foam can be easily customized for camera and accessories in minutes. It will keep them perfectly protected for generations. And it floats!

Highly recommended!!

I was very pleased with my Pelican Case. It will provide my camera with the protection it needs, both from water, and other damage. The foam was pre-cut in 1/2" cubes, and very easy to remove, in the places I needed to put the camera and accessories. I would definitly buy another Pelican case.
