What the 1520 case is for
The Pelican 1520 is a watertight hard case built from ultra-high impact structural copolymer. It protects sensitive equipment against water, dust, chemicals and crushing forces in challenging environments. The empty interior allows customizable storage for cameras, electronics or tools. It is not for buyers who need a pre-cut foam insert or a soft-sided bag.
Practical limits of its watertight seal
An automatic pressure equalization valve balances internal pressure to prevent vacuum lock at altitude. The polymer O-ring seal and double-throw latches maintain an airtight, watertight barrier. Two padlockable hasps add security. The case is not for users who require a fire-rated enclosure or a built-in humidity indicator.
Capacity and headroom
The open cell core with solid wall design delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight, making it suitable for air travel. A large fold-down handle and stainless steel hardware support comfortable carrying of heavy loads. It is not for teams needing multiple stacked cases that interlock or a wheeled transport system.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the version with foam or the empty 1520 case?
The 1520 is supplied without foam, so you can add custom-cut inserts or use the open interior for your own layout.
What does the watertight rating mean when the 1520 is loaded and closed?
An airtight polymer O-ring seal keeps water, dust and chemicals out even when the case is fully packed and latched.
How does the automatic pressure valve affect opening the 1520 after a flight?
The valve equalises internal pressure during altitude changes, preventing vacuum lock so the latches release normally.
