The Pelican 1300 Protector case is a compact and exceptionally rugged hard-shell carrying case designed to provide maximum protection for sensitive and valuable equipment in transit. Built with Pelican's signature unbreakable polymer construction and a solid aluminum frame, it is engineered to withstand severe impacts, crushing forces, and harsh environmental conditions. The case achieves an IP67 rating, meaning it is completely watertight and dustproof, with the ability to be submerged to one meter for up to thirty minutes, making it ideal for use in marine, industrial, and outdoor field applications.

A key functional component is the automatic pressure equalization valve, which prevents vacuum lock by balancing internal air pressure during altitude or temperature changes, ensuring the lid can be opened easily after flights or weather shifts. The interior features customizable foam that can be plucked to create a precise, shock-absorbing cradle for specific items such as cameras, scientific instruments, or tactical gear, preventing movement and damage. The case is secured by Pelican’s easy-open double-throw latches and includes integrated padlock protectors for added security during travel or storage.

Despite its compact external dimensions, the 1300 offers a practical internal volume for organizing smaller kits. It includes a comfortable, fold-down handle for easy carrying and is backed by Pelican's unconditional lifetime guarantee. Combining legendary durability with intelligent design features, the Pelican 1300 is a trusted solution for professionals who require dependable, hands-off protection for critical gear in the most demanding situations.
