THE SCIENCE BEHIND STRENGTH AND LIGHTNESS
The Pelican™ Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability. Pelican engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving their legendary standards of strength. In development for years, the design team challenged the status quo to "add lightness" to every detail.
Here are some important reasons why Pelican™ Air cases are both strong and light:

| Transporting and Shipping Options |  Small Package Service refers to cases that can ship via UPS, Fedex or USPS and would be charged a standard rate based on the weight. Cases must weigh less than 150 lbs. and meet certain dimensional requirements. Always check the carrier’s small package policy for exact limits. Checked Baggage refers to cases that can be checked in on the airlines that are under 50 lbs. and 62 in. overall or less and would be considered standard size bags that would not incur an oversize fee. Overall dimensions of the case are determined by adding the length, width and height together. Always check your airline’s specific policy, as size and weight limits can vary by carrier and route. |
