- Open cell core with solid wall design achieves high strength at reduced weight

- Copolymer construction, while durable, can show surface scuffs and scratches over time
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Pelican 1660 watertight and dustproof?
Yes. It features an O-ring seal and automatic pressure equalization valve, making it watertight, crushproof, and dustproof — protecting contents against submersion, impacts, and harsh environments.
Does this case come with foam inserts?
Yes. The 1660-020-110 model includes multi-layer pick-and-pluck foam that you can customize to fit your specific equipment by pulling out pre-scored cubes.
How does the case roll and transport?
It has a retractable extension handle and four polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings, allowing smooth rolling in any direction similar to a spinner suitcase.
What are the Double Throw latches and why do they matter?
Double Throw latches are reinforced clasps that grip the case body at two points per latch, creating a tighter, more secure seal than single-throw latches. They also open easily by hand without tools.
What is the automatic pressure equalization valve for?
The valve balances internal and external air pressure — especially important after altitude changes during air travel — so the case can be opened easily without fighting a vacuum seal.
