Full details

Engineered from proprietary HPX² polymer, this case offers best-in-class protection against water, dust, and impact while remaining remarkably lightweight. While it provides industry-leading durability, users should be aware that its 18-liter capacity is best suited for precision instruments and camera gear rather than large-scale equipment loads.

Water detected inside the case
Check the O-ring gasket for cracks or trapped debris. Clean the gasket and the sealing surface, or replace the O-ring if it shows signs of wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Peli 1485 is straightforward. To utilize the foam, layout your equipment on the foam block to determine the ideal spacing, then use a sharp utility knife to cut the pre-scored foam to match the shape of your gear. Ensure at least one inch of foam remains between items for optimal protection.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the O-ring gasket clean; a buildup of dirt or sand can break the watertight seal. Wipe it with a damp cloth periodically.
- Periodically inspect the purge valve to ensure it is free of debris.
- If the case exterior becomes dirty, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners that may damage the polymer finish.
