Know before you buy
Yes, the 1510 is specifically designed to meet standard FAA carry-on size requirements. However, you should always check with your specific airline before flying, as size restrictions can occasionally vary.
The TrekPak system uses rigid, customizable divider panels and steel U-pins to create a modular grid. Unlike pick-and-pluck foam, which is permanent once torn, TrekPak allows you to reconfigure your layout as your gear needs change.
The case is watertight to a depth of 30 feet, provided the lid is properly closed and the O-ring seal is free of debris. It is designed to keep moisture, dust, and chemicals out even in harsh environments.
The purge valve automatically balances the internal air pressure of the case while keeping water out. This is essential when traveling by air or moving between different altitudes, as it prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed shut.
Yes, the case features reinforced padlock protectors that allow you to use your own padlocks. These protectors are designed to prevent bolt cutters from easily accessing the shackle.
The Pelican 1510 is designed to float in salt water with a maximum load of 64.2 pounds. If your gear exceeds this weight, the case will not remain buoyant.
