Pelican Air Series

Pelican 1745 Air Case

The 1745 Air is the long-gear case: forty-four inches of interior for rifles, tripods, and survey gear. Watertight, crushproof, and up to 40 percent lighter in HPX² polymer. We shape the interior around whatever you carry, with custom foam, machined panels, and your branding, one case or five hundred.

No retail checkout. Every Pelican case we ship is built to spec. Tell us the gear and we'll engineer the interior.

Capabilities

Built to your spec

Choose from a wide range of foam types, from flame-retardant to conductive. Our shop works in hundreds of foam styles, densities, and colors, and every insert is CNC-cut to the exact gear it protects. The four families here are our most popular starting points. Pick one to see it inside the 1745 Air, then tell us what you carry and we'll engineer the rest.

The challenge: Before every tournament, the USGA tests players' clubs and equipment for conformance, and their calibration gear traveled in unpadded cases between events. We built organized, foam-controlled kits their field teams can inventory at a glance.
