Pelican Air 1606 Case for Gear Protection
The Pelican Air 1606 case protects cameras and accessories during transport. It is built for photographers and travellers who need a watertight enclosure without pre-cut foam inserts. The black exterior uses lightweight polymer construction made in the USA.
Automatic Purge Valve and Stainless Hardware
An automatic purge valve equalises air pressure after altitude changes, so the lid opens without force. Over-moulded rubber handles and stainless steel hardware resist corrosion and wear. The empty interior requires the user to supply custom foam or dividers for a secure fit.
Check Dimensions and Foam Requirements First
Verify that your equipment fits the internal cavity before ordering, because no foam is included. Ensure the silicone O-ring lid seals correctly on your storage shelf or vehicle. Buyers who need ready-to-use padded compartments should choose a different model.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the automatic purge valve is equalising air pressure after I close the 1606 case?
Press the valve button; a brief hiss shows the valve is venting pressure differences between the sealed interior and the outside atmosphere.
What does the Pelican Air 1606 case ship with and what must I add for my camera gear?
The case arrives empty — no foam inserts — so you will need to purchase Pick N Pluck foam, TrekPak dividers or a custom-cut insert separately.
Which version of the Air 1606 should I choose if I want the black finish without foam?
Select part number 016060-0010-110; it is the single black, no-foam configuration offered for this model.
