Pelican makes protective cases built to keep sensitive gear intact through impact, water, and dust. Founded in 1976 by scuba diver Dave Parker and his wife Arline, who started in their garage, Pelican grew into a maker of rugged cases relied on by military units, law enforcement, photographers, and outdoor professionals. The brand's name is close to shorthand for a hard case that protects whatever is inside.

Available options include hard-sided Protector cases in sizes from pistol cases to large equipment transport, along with the Storm, Air, and Vault case lines. Most are offered with customizable foam so contents sit exactly where they belong.

A Pelican case earns its reputation on a few engineering details. The Protector line is watertight, crushproof, and dustproof, carrying an IP67 rating, and uses an automatic purge valve that equalizes internal pressure after altitude or temperature changes so the case opens easily and the seal keeps working. A silicone O-ring lid, over-molded handles, and stainless hardware handle rough transport, and pluck-to-fit or custom foam protects optics, electronics, firearms, and medical gear from shock. Because the cases are backed by a lifetime guarantee and routinely outlast the equipment inside them, they are a long-term way to protect gear that would be expensive or hard to replace in the field.

Protect gear alongside your field equipment, store preparedness supplies safely, and organize loadouts with the right bags and packs.
