Know before you buy

The valve automatically balances the internal air pressure of the case while keeping water out. This is particularly useful if you are traveling by air or moving between significant changes in altitude, as it prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed shut.
Yes, the case features two padlockable hasps that allow you to secure the lid with your own padlocks. This is ideal for added peace of mind during travel or when storing sensitive equipment.
The P1500 is an injection-molded shell that provides the structural base for your storage needs. While it does not come with pre-cut foam, the dimensions allow you to easily fit custom foam inserts or padded dividers to secure your specific gear.
