Pelican Air 1615 Travel Case - Suitcase Luggage (Blue)

I love the fact that this is a rough and tumble case. Ive used it only once so far but I travel for a living and I will be on the road over 250 days a year.

Muy buena calidad y robustez, complacidas mis aspiraciones.

10/10

Wish it was a bit lighter. Overall great for travel if you have valuable

I did a lot of research on travel cases before I decided on the 1615. The size, the foam and the fact that its maximum dimensions added up to Southwest Airlines maximum allowable checked luggage size (62 H+W+D) convinced me to buy one. Strangely enough, the Pelican sites shopping catalog showed it as Out of Stock, but Amazon had some, which gave me total confidence that if it didnt pass first inspection, I could return it.

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.

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.
