Pelican 1510 Case With Foam (Black)

Its a Pelican case... you already know youre getting a top-quality product.

Excellent!

Use the case everyday. I love this thing!!

Super quality, awesome piece of equipment. Even if the plane went down your luggage would be recovered. Kinda a good reason, in a strange sense.

Very heavy

Awesome case, fits all of my camera gear in and protects it nicely!! very durable and indestructible!!

good carry on size. heavy, but should last awhile. does draw attention and when I check my bag, it usually gets inspected.

I work as an internationally travelling archaeologist, and I ordered this case to use as my primary checked luggage on flights. Initially I removed the foam inserts and just used the empty case as a trunk of sorts, but I have since separately ordered the inserts for the LOC Laptop Overnight Carry package of 1510 cases. (Ordering the case and inserts separately even saved me a few dollars.) I put all my breakables and no-fly items like my laptop, tools and field knife, along with most clothing in this case, and carry a few changes of clothes/winter wear in a smaller duffle that I use as my carry-on. This way I can be assured my checked items will arrive in one piece, and if the checked bag gets misplaced I still have my bare minimums to get by in a separate bag. This size is perfect for use as a carry-on itself, but on some international flights they will ask you to check it regardless. This case is built like a tank, and I have absolutely no qualms about having my luggage strapped to the top of a tuk-tuk during monsoon or kicked into the back of an open-bed utility truck. A typical packing list that I can fit consists of my laptop, hard drive, and accompanying cables and accessories, two pairs of Carhartt double front dungaree pants for the field, five field shirts, five pairs of hiking socks, enough boxers to see me through the trip, plus a small toiletry kit. This will work great for a one week trip, for longer adventures I pack the additional duffle. I could have purchased a larger pelican style, but my original intent was to spread the load and diversify my luggage options. This case weighs in at approx. 11 pounds, so I really have to work hard at packing it with enough stuff to put it over the 50lb excess baggage wight limit. If I manage to ever break anything on this case, Pelican has phenomenal customer support, and will usually replace most anything for free. I used quite a few luggage options before I chose to take the plunge and invest in this case, and boy do I wish I had just invested in perfection right from the start! This is a case for someone who does some serious travelling and needs luggage that can keep up with their rugged lifestyle.

THIS CASE ROCKS

Pelican cases are always the best and worth the $$. You could put a carton of eggs in one of these, drop it off a building and still make eggs benedict.
