Pelican Air 1615 Travel Case - Suitcase Luggage (Blue)

Not very rugged…a ton of damage only one flight

After looking at a lot of rolling suit cases, including some upwards of $1500, this was the only one I knew would stand up to the abuse airlines will put luggage through. I’ve seen Pelicans get run over by trucks and not miss a beat. One trip down with this case reaffirmed it. The quality is typical Pelican - nothing but rugged and utilitarian. It’s got locks built into the latches, several interior folder pockets on the inside of the lid, I can’t imagine the wheels ever breaking but if they do, they come off as a unit for easy replacement, the long drag handle stows tight and secure, the lid has steel reinforced grommets for a more serious lock should you require it - all for a fraction of luxury suitcases that would surely fail well before this one ever will.

what a pelican case should be

I have two of these now. I used it to haul fragile items to Africa this summer, and I just went camping with it and took it on a boat to an island off the coast of Boston. It scratches up pretty fast, but I like patina. Good sturdy locks and a chain make it burglar proof, and I wasn’t afraid taking it on and off the boat because it’s waterproof.

Extremely sturdy. Didnt think they could make a suitcase like this. Will definitely hold up for years even with the way they handle baggage at the airport. Worth the price and will get one for my girl soon

My plan is to have Delta break it. Then Delta will reimburse me and Pelican will replace it with the lime time warranty . Free suitcase ;). After a dozen flights Delta has only been able to scratch it all up but I have faith in there incompetence. They will eventually break it.

I purchased this as I travel alot and wanted something that would last. This is it.
