Why Choose the Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case? Unrivaled Protection for Your Most Important Assets

The Pelican 1720 Long Case is more than just a container; it's a mobile fortress for your specialized gear. Designed to withstand extremes, from the searing heat of a desert expedition to the biting cold of arctic terrain, this case offers peace of mind. It’s the ultimate answer for individuals and organizations asking:

• "What's the best long case for protecting firearms during transport?"

Crafted with precision in the USA, every aspect of the Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case reflects a commitment to enduring quality and performance. Its construction utilizes lightweight yet incredibly strong polypropylene, a material renowned for its impact resistance and structural integrity. This case is not just designed to survive; it's engineered to perform under pressure, ensuring your equipment remains operational and intact, no matter the journey.

Key Features and Engineering Excellence That Set the Pelican 1720 Apart

The Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case integrates a suite of advanced features, each serving a critical role in its protective capabilities:

• Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve: Traveling by air or experiencing significant altitude changes can create a vacuum inside a sealed case, making it difficult to open or potentially damaging sensitive contents. The intelligent automatic purge valve built into the Pelican 1720 continuously equalizes the air pressure inside the case with the outside, without compromising its watertight seal. This means effortless opening after flights and superior protection against pressure-induced stress on your equipment.
• Watertight Silicone O-Ring Lid: At the heart of its legendary water resistance is a robust silicone O-ring that forms a perfect, impenetrable seal when the lid is closed. This feature ensures your contents remain absolutely dry, even when submerged. Rated IP67, the Pelican 1720 is certified dustproof and protected against water immersion up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes, making it ideal for marine environments, wet weather conditions, or accidental submersions.
• Easy-Open Double-Throw Latches: Gone are the days of struggling with stiff, unreliable latches. The Pelican 1720 features innovative double-throw latches that engage securely with a reassuring click, yet open with a simple, effortless release. These robust latches are designed for quick access while maintaining maximum security, even with gloved hands.
• Over-Molded Rubber Handles: Carrying a fully loaded long case can be cumbersome. The Pelican 1720 addresses this with comfortable, over-molded rubber handles that provide a secure, ergonomic grip. These handles are designed for durability and ease of transport, reducing fatigue during extended carrying.
• Heavy-Duty Polyurethane Wheels: For ultimate portability, the Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case is equipped with rugged, smooth-rolling polyurethane wheels. These durable wheels allow for effortless transport across various terrains, from airport terminals to rugged outdoor paths, making it easy to maneuver even heavily loaded cases without strain.
• Stainless Steel Hardware: Every metallic component on the Pelican 1720, from hinge pins to padlock protectors, is crafted from marine-grade stainless steel. This material choice ensures superior corrosion resistance, crucial for longevity and performance in humid, salty, or otherwise challenging environments.
• Crushproof Design: Built from ultra-high impact structural copolymer, the Pelican 1720 case is engineered to be crushproof. It can withstand immense pressure and impact without deforming or failing, protecting delicate instruments from drops, collisions, and the rigors of freight transport. This structural integrity is a cornerstone of Pelican's reputation.
• Customizable Foam Padding: The interior of the Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case comes with multiple layers of high-density foam padding. This typically includes a convoluted "egg-crate" foam in the lid, a base foam layer, and several layers of "Pick N Pluck" foam. The Pick N Pluck system allows users to customize the interior by easily removing small foam cubes to create a snug, custom-fit cavity for their specific gear. This ensures maximum shock absorption and prevents contents from shifting during transit.
• Padlockable Hasps: For enhanced security, the case features molded-in padlock protectors and stainless steel padlockable hasps. This allows users to secure their valuable contents with standard padlocks (not included), deterring theft and unauthorized access.

Diverse Applications: Who Benefits from the Pelican 1720 Long Case?

The versatility and extreme durability of the Pelican 1720 Protector Long Case make it an indispensable tool across a wide array of sectors and activities:

• Firearms Enthusiasts & Hunters: This case is ideally suited for transporting rifles, shotguns, and other long firearms. Its length of 41.80" accommodates many popular models, providing secure, compliant, and protected transit to the range, hunting grounds, or for storage. The foam padding can be customized to cradle multiple firearms or a single rifle with accessories.
• Military & Law Enforcement Personnel: For tactical gear, specialized weapons, sensitive communication equipment, or optical devices, the Pelican 1720 offers the uncompromising protection required in the field. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions is critical for mission success.
• Professional Photographers & Videographers: Transporting long lenses, tripods, light stands, or camera sliders demands a case that can absorb shock and resist moisture. The Pelican 1720 ensures expensive camera gear arrives at the shoot location in perfect condition, even on remote or challenging assignments.
• Drone Pilots & Aerospace Professionals: Larger drones, along with their controllers, batteries, and accessories, can be securely housed and transported. The case's pressure equalization feature is particularly beneficial for air travel with drone batteries.
• Scientific & Medical Researchers: Sensitive laboratory instruments, field research tools, or medical devices require a sterile, protected environment, especially when transported to remote locations. The Pelican 1720 safeguards these critical assets from contaminants and physical damage.
• Industrial & Technical Professionals: Surveying equipment, diagnostic tools, and specialized industrial instruments often encounter harsh work environments. This case offers robust protection against dust, water, and impact, ensuring equipment longevity and reliability.
• Musicians & Audio Professionals: Long-form musical instruments or professional audio equipment, such as certain guitars, keyboards, or microphone stands, can be transported safely, protected from the bumps and knocks of touring or studio relocation.
