Know before you buy
Yes, the exterior dimensions are designed to meet the maximum size requirements for most major airlines. However, it is always a good idea to check your specific airline's carry-on policy before heading to the airport, as size restrictions can vary.
An IP67 rating means the case is completely dust-tight and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes without leaking. It provides professional-grade protection against the elements during travel or outdoor expeditions.
The Vortex valve automatically balances the internal air pressure of the case while keeping water and dust out. This is particularly useful when traveling by air, as it prevents the case from becoming difficult to open due to pressure changes at high altitudes.
Yes, the case features integrated padlockable hasps. You can use your own padlocks to secure the lid, providing an extra layer of protection for your sensitive equipment.
The case weighs 11.10 lbs without foam and 13.70 lbs with the foam insert. Keep this weight in mind if you are packing heavy gear, as it will count toward your airline's total carry-on weight limit.
HPX high-performance resin is engineered to be exceptionally lightweight while remaining crushproof and impact-resistant. It offers the rugged durability required for mil-spec standards without adding unnecessary bulk to your luggage.
