Pelican 1626 Air Case No Foam (Black)

Pretty darn nice this is my fourth air case because of case weight I can fly with more video gak Delta Media rate allows 50 lbs (information varies) this case weights about half of a regular Pelican

I used to do field work, had to carry all my tool, and fly out every week. I have used other brands but the Air Case was the last one. It's perfect. Light enough you can cram it full, and strong enough that TSA can't break the locking clips (Looking at you TSA DET)I was standing in the luggage line after coming home and I heard someone say "Oh man, an Air Case, you know it's seen some action"

This case is 15 lbs lighter than the standard Pelican Protector case and gets me just under the 50 lb baggage limit with the airlines. I can fit all my dive gear in it and still won't break 50 lbs. It has a high price tag, but you'll save that $$$ at the airport!

This case is great for air travel and scuba gear transport. With my back plate (stainless) and wing plus 3mm wetsuit, fins, lights, mask and other spares (less octo which goes in my carry on), I was around 45lbs. Perfect to stay under the 50lb maximum.I would recommend you get a pair of locking latches and replace those. I used the two metal reinforced padlock rings and the luggage handlers obviously used my padlocks as lift abd swing points. It did stretch out the plastic hole a bit. I would guess a few more trips and they would break. Save your luggage and use the easily replaced locking latches.Case held up great out on the boat. Gear and clothes inside stayed dry. Even with a ton of spray from the 30 minutes choppy boat ride out and back. The handle and wheels make getting around easy. I cannot recommend this case enough.

Works great and has been on like 20 flights doing perfect

I use these for tools and clothes when traveling. They work perfect

This is my 2nd Pelican Air 1626 case. I decided that I liked the first so much that I wanted another one. This along with a few other Air models are updated designs from the first round of Air cases they produced. If you are comparing them, look at the latches. This one and the few other newer Airs have the Press and Pull latches. They are very well designed and I personally would not want the older style latches now that I am used to these.Pelican's engineers must be wizards because somewhat like a Bag of Holding they managed to improve the interior to exterior space ratio with noticeable gains over their previous Air designs. This 1626 case's exterior is 61.5" across all 3 dimensions and the interior volume is 2.69 ft³. A similarly sized case in the original Air lineup, the 1615, is 62" and 2.49 ft³. The 1626 (smaller outside but larger inside) clearly wins and in my opinion Pelican doesn't tout this enough.

Ever since I bought this pelican case I've never use it so I decided to travel to the Caribbean on the 18th of December packing to leave only to find one of the pin in the back is missing just took it out the box from the time I bought it I am soooooo disappointed and upset at the same time that I have to put a piece of wire for support I would not recommend anyone to buy this pelican case if you do please look at it very carefully.
