Know before you buy
The Press and Pull system uses a spring-loaded mechanism that snaps shut automatically when you close the lid. To open it, you simply press the button on the latch, which releases the grip with a light touch, making it much easier to operate than the manual tension latches found on the classic Protector series.
The case is fully watertight. It features a high-quality O-ring seal that creates a hermetic barrier, ensuring your gear remains dry even when submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
The Vortex valve is an automatic pressure equalization system. It allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering, which prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed due to changes in altitude or temperature, allowing you to open it easily after air travel.
Yes, the case features two integrated padlockable hasps. The padlock hole diameter is 0.79 cm, which accommodates most standard-sized luggage or security padlocks.
The HPX resin is engineered to withstand significant temperature fluctuations, with a functional range between -29°C and 60°C. It is designed to maintain its structural integrity and protective properties in both freezing cold and high-heat environments.
The weight specification provided is for the case without foam. Depending on the specific retailer configuration, you may need to purchase foam inserts or padded dividers separately to customize the interior for your specific equipment.
