Pelican 1557 Air Case

The Air series uses a proprietary HPX2 polymer blend that is significantly lighter than the traditional resin used in standard Pelican cases. This allows you to save weight without sacrificing the legendary crushproof and waterproof durability the brand is known for.

It is fully waterproof. With an IP67 rating, the case is designed to withstand immersion in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes, keeping your gear completely dry.

The automatic pressure equalization valve balances the internal air pressure of the case against external atmospheric pressure. This prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed shut due to altitude changes, making it easy to open after a flight.

Yes, the case includes Pick N Pluck foam, which is pre-scored into small cubes. You can easily remove these cubes to create a custom, snug cavity that perfectly fits your specific equipment.

Yes, the Pelican 1557 Air is designed to be buoyant. While its ability to float depends on the total weight of the gear packed inside, the case itself is engineered to stay afloat.

The case features Press and Pull latches, which are designed to stay closed even under impact. They require a deliberate, two-step action to open, ensuring your gear stays secure during transport.
