## Description

Product Description Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the completion. You can tell its a Pelican case by the distinctive "twin-ribbed" top surface. Stainless steel pins are used for hinges and handles. The new Double-Throw latches are much easier to open. From the Manufacturer Product DescriptionFrom the ManufacturerANATOMY OF A PELICAN CASEUltimate Equipment ProtectionFor over 30 years Pelican has built a reputation for manufacturing the toughest cases in the world. As a matter of fact, we invented the category. Over these years we've seen our cases used for some fairly crazy activities...and important ones too.Pelican Cases have been thrown out of helicopters in Iraq, floated through frigid fjords in Norway and rolled over by SUVs in Tanzania. With only a few scratches to show on the outside, contents inside are left unscathed. These are minor details for major bragging rights. And that is really what it's all about. Getting your gear from point A to point B in the condition it's meant to be in: intact and functional. Because it might contain a large format camera that will shoot next month's magazine cover or a heart defibrillator that could save a person's life, you can't put a price on it. Stronger by Design Pelican Cases are made with a proprietary combination of homo co-polymers, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter than a solid core wall. Stainless steel pins are used in hinges and handles. WatertightThe secret is the tongue and groove fit with a polymer o-ring acting as a waterproof seal.Cool Under PressureAutomatic Pressure Equalization Valve releases built-up air pressure while keeping water molecules out, resulting in a watertight case that is even easier to open.Easy RollerStainless steel ball bearing wheels last longer and ride smoother. The nylon hub adjacent to the stainless steel is made to resist heat. The result is less wear and tear on the polyurethane wheel. Double-Throw LatchesStainless steel hasp protectors are a Pelican exclusive. The Double-Throw latches are smarter and easier to open: it's the classic "C" clamp design with a secondary movement that works like a pry bar to start the release and offers plenty of leverage to open with a light pull.NameplateCustom engraved nameplates are available for a nominal fee.Reinforced Padlock ProtectorsStainless steel reinforced padlock protectors provide added strength and extra security against cutting and theft.

Review: Great For Celestron Evolution 8" SCT Telescope! - I ordered this Pelican 1660 case to safely store and transport my Celestron Evolution 8 telescope. After reviewing all of the Celestron-branded soft cases and their own version of a large Pelican case (for considerably more money)...I decided desertcart was my best choice. I found this case's dimensions to be very similar to the awesome JMI case which is also custom-fitted for this very telescope....and costs $469. I ended up getting a very strong and tough case for half the price, but this comes at the cost of nearly DOUBLE the weight. There is one major downside to this case, but I will not deduct a star because I went into this purchase knowing very well that the Pelican case was heavy. I knew to expect it but was still surprised at how much weight this case constitutes by itself with the foam. I noted immediately it was tough and would protect my valuable gear inside without question: worth the extra weight. I'm a pretty strong guy, and I think I will be able to handle this case myself without any problems. If you have difficulty carrying or lifting objects heavier than 50lbs you'll need to have someone help you with the moving, loading and unloading of this case. I wish it could be a little lighter, but protection this trustworthy comes at a cost. I was able to shape the foam without an issue and also fit all of the telescope accessories for a dark site visit or night of viewing into the case. This makes keeping track of multiple cases and bags a lot more manageable....especially for amateur astronomers. I would HIGHLY recommend this case for anyone with a SCT telescope of 8" or less on a single-fork mount. I'm not sure a dual-fork would fit with enough padding on the sides. I uploaded a picture of my configuration with labels. I hope this helps others since I couldn't find any examples of this case customized for the Evolution 8. The built-in wheels and collapsible pull handle on the case are what really add value to this option over the rest. I would not hesitate to buy again. I have Pelican cases for many delicate instruments and multiple firearms. They have NEVER failed, broken or disappointed me in any way. The ability to utilize the case for possible travel by air in the future is also a very large plus, and you will not find anything out there that is more suitable for harsh conditions or weather. Buy with confidence from desertcart. Prime shipping got it to me in the 2 days specified.
Review: The beast. - Amazing and heavy. Be prepared to hit the weight limit on checked baggage. I was always just under and used mine to transport a professional computer system and support equipment safely. Solid as a rock.
