Pelican Hike & Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the Pelican Adventure Case Series (50L/80L) a good choice for overlanding and vehicle storage?

  Pelican’s Adventure Case Series uses rotomolded construction and steel latches to deliver crush- and weather-resistant protection, and the 50L and 80L sizes are sized to fit truck beds and SUV trunks. Customizable foam inserts, interior trays and MOLLE-compatible panels keep cameras, tools, and recovery gear organized and secure during rough transport.
• How do Pelican protective cases compare to Pelican dry bags for hiking and boating?

  Protective cases like the Adventure Case, BX140R, and Cargo cases are hard-shell, rotomolded units designed for impact resistance, lock hasps, and internal foam customization, making them ideal for fragile electronics and tools. Pelican dry bags use a 190T‑PVC waterproof shell and closed-cell foam padding for lighter, packable waterproofing and buoyancy—better when weight and stowability matter but less suitable for heavy-impact protection.
• How do I choose the right case size and foam configuration for camera or electronics protection?

  Measure the largest items (camera body, lenses, chargers) and add space for cables and batteries, then match that volume to a 50L or 80L Adventure Case or a smaller Micro/BX series case; choose the smallest case that safely fits everything to minimize weight. Specify customizable foam inserts or pre-cut foam cubes so gear nests snugly, and consider interior trays or MOLLE panels if you need separate compartments for accessories.
• Are Pelican woobie blankets and dry bags versatile enough for wet-weather camping and fishing?

  Yes, the woobie blanket is a lightweight, packable multi-use layer with button fasteners that can function as a blanket, shelter layer, or emergency poncho, while Pelican dry bags feature a 190T‑PVC waterproof outer shell and closed-cell foam padding to keep clothing and soft gear dry. For electronics or high-impact scenarios choose a rotomolded protective case instead, but for clothing and quick-access shelter the woobie and dry bags offer excellent weather resistance and portability.
