Peli 1637 Air Case – Photography Gear Case

When you're packing camera bodies, lenses, drone equipment, or delicate scientific instruments into checked luggage or a vehicle heading into rough terrain, you need a case that doesn't flinch. The Peli Air 1637 is a deep, wheeled large case built for exactly those moments — where protection, weight savings, and practical mobility all come together without compromise.

Up to 40% Lighter Than Standard Cases

The 1637 is constructed from Peli's proprietary HPX²™ polymer — an engineering-grade material that delivers crushproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance at up to 40% less weight than conventional hard cases. Whether you're checking it at an airport, rolling it across a busy production set, or loading it into the back of a vehicle on a dusty trail, the weight difference is immediately noticeable.

Built for Demanding Conditions

IP67 certified and MIL-SPEC tested, the 1637 handles more than a splash of rain. It can be submerged in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes with contents remaining fully protected. The waterproof O-ring seal and automatic pressure equalization valve maintain a stable interior environment across significant altitude and temperature changes — making this case equally reliable on a mountain expedition as in the cargo hold of a commercial flight.

Three Interior Configurations

Choose the interior that matches your workflow:

• No Foam — a clean, empty shell ready for custom foam inserts, aftermarket divider systems, or your own soft bags and pouches.
• With Foam — includes Pick N Pluck™ foam, a modular system where you remove pre-scored foam cubes to create a precise custom fit for your equipment. No tools, no cutting — just pull and done.
• With Padded Dividers — a flexible system of fabric-covered dividers that can be rearranged in seconds, ideal for kit configurations that change frequently between shoots, missions, or fieldwork.

Smooth Mobility on Any Surface

The 1637 rides on quiet stainless-steel bearing wheels designed to handle airport floors, cobblestones, and gravel paths without vibration or noise. A retractable extension trolley handle lets you roll it comfortably at full stride, while a fold-down over-molded side handle makes it easy to lift and load. Two Press and Pull™ latches close with a firm click and stay reliably shut — no catches to fumble with when your hands are full.

Security Ready

Built-in stainless steel padlock protectors accept standard padlocks, giving you an additional layer of security at airports, on job sites, and in shared transport. A business card holder on the exterior makes the case straightforward to identify on a baggage carousel or in a shared equipment area.

Available in Black or Orange

The black version fits seamlessly into professional and studio environments. The orange variant stands out immediately on a busy luggage belt, in a dark cargo hold, or among equipment on a film set — high-visibility where it counts.

Lifetime Warranty

The Peli Air 1637 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Built to last, warranted to prove it.
