Pelican 1650 Protector Case

The original case introduced over 45 years ago has since evolved into the global standard for equipment protection. The Protector Case series is designed to survive and trusted to travel to the harshest environments on earth.

The Pelican 1650 Protector Case provides military-grade protection for a wide variety of gear, from camera equipment to camping kits. It is available with foam, without foam, padded dividers, or TrekPak dividers.

Where The Legend Began | Pelican Protector

Proven protection for the gear, the pursuit, and everything riding on it. Made in USA.

Now Available | Push-Button Latches

Taking cues from our legendary Storm and Air cases, Pelican has developed a new latch system for Protector. Built to keep your gear protected, but more accessible than ever.

Since 1976 | The Case That Set The Standard

We invented the hard protective case in 1976 - not to fill a shelf, but because the gear people depend on deserved better. The Protector Case was our first answer to that challenge. Fifty years on, it remains the industry benchmark so we continue our pursuit of making the best protective case in the world.

Built Without Compromise | Watertight. Crushproof. Dustproof.

These are the standards that launched the industry. IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof through precision engineering and O-ring seal. Crushproof through the solid-wall HPX™ construction we've refined for five decades. The Protector Case holds all three - because your gear doesn't deserve "good enough."

Precision-Fit Protection | Your Kit. Your Layout. Your Case.

Protection is only as good as the fit. Choose Pick N Pluck™ foam, or padded dividers, TrekPak™ panels, and EZ-Click™ MOLLE on select cases - each configuring precisely around your pursuit. Tailored protection, straight from the original. Backed by our Lifetime Guarantee of Excellence.

The Brand That Invented Protection | Built to Protect.

We exist for one reason: to safeguard what matters most to you. No hedging. No compromises. Just the brand that built this category, still building it better.
