Pelican Products has announced that two of its durable carry-on cases can now be ordered with TrekPak divider system and Pick N Pluck foam hybrid interiors. Until now, customers were forced to choose between either the protective foam or the divider system, but couldn't order both in the same case.
The new combination Pick N Pluck foam and TrekPad divider system is now offered as a standard option with the Pelican Air 1535 Carry On Case and Pelican 1510 Carry One Case. The Pelican Air 1535 Carry On is a lightweight polymer case that weighs up to 40% less than the Pelican Protector Case, whereas the Pelican 1510 Carry On is a protective carry-on case made from ultra-high impact copolymer.
The company's Pick N Pluck foam is cubed, pre-scored, and can be easily customized to suit the user's needs and specific gear with an emphasis on protection. This foam is the standard offering for the majority of Pelican cases.
For customers with more robust needs, the company's TrekPak divider system features divider sections made from closed-cell waterproof foam laminated to form corrugated, rigid plastic panels. Unlike ordinary foam, Pelican claims its TrekPak panels are 'almost impossible to tear or shred,' though they can be cut to size and locked in place with U-pins for a custom layout.
The Pelican 1510 Carry On Hybrid Case will retail for $299. 95 USD and the Pelican Air Carry On Hybrid Case for $324. 95 USD, though the latter model is currently listed on B&H Photo for preorder at $299. 95 USD.
