Pelican Cases Provide Superior Protection

How many times have you gone on a camping trip, fishing trip, etc and surrendered your valuable gear to mother nature? It seems like every time you venture into nature, you return with some broken electronic device. It's the same story every time. The following is a guide to utilizing one of the most useful set of tools any outdoor enthusiast can benefit from, the Pelican case.

Whether you're taking a fishing trip, going on a day hike, canoeing down the Rio Grande, or mountain biking through rough terrain, there is a good chance you will encounter the elements. With that said, there is a good chance (definite) that your gear will encounter the elements as well. Why spend money on things and not protect them from potential harm?

Pelican produces some of the most durable protective cases you will ever find. Each case is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be completely waterproof, crush proof, and even dust proof.

The range of sizes these cases are offered in allow for many different applications. Some cases are small enough to tote along with you, while others are better suited for just storing stuff in at home. The variety of cases in between provide many different uses which we will cover now.

Pelican categorizes their cases by size and the categories are as follows:

Micro Cases: These cases are the smallest Pelican offers and are suited for use in many different applications. There are 12 case models in this category, the smallest of which can only hold flash memory for cameras. The largest Micro Case, the 1060, will hold a variety of items including digital cameras, wallets, cell phones, keys, and any other items of similar size. These cases are small enough to take with you just about anywhere.

Small Cases: Pelican's Small Cases are also designed for portability, yet provide more space than the Micro Case Series. The biggest difference with the Small Case Series is the added option of interior foam padding. These cases are the perfect size for transporting items ranging from large body cameras (SLR's) to small screen laptop computers. The foam option is what really adds value to these cases. The interior foam is completely customizable so all your delicate items fit snugly. This adds great shock absorption capabilities.

Medium Cases: The Medium Case Series take you a step further, providing the same interior foam option as the Small Case Series, but allowing more space for things like a camera and its components (extra lenses, batteries, etc.). These cases also accommodate laptop computers of all sizes, as well as components needed for your laptop (power cables, and other accessories). In addition, the Medium Case Series offers special Emergency Medical Cases, perfect for organizing a first aid kit with everything you could ever need.

Large Cases: Pelican's Large Cases are considerably larger in size, and are best suited for transporting larger delicate materials. These cases are commonly used in the entertainment industry, mostly for transporting expensive video equipment. It says a lot when someone transports a $10,000 video camera in a case that cost's a few hundred dollars. That is a testament to the reliability, and durability of Pelican's products.

With the huge variety of cases Pelican offers, anyone can find a case that is tailored perfect for their needs, especially with the multitude of accessories available.
