Peli Air Case 1506 Hermetic Suitcase 20 liters

Peli Air 1506 — Go Light, Stay Protected

When every kilogram counts — whether you're boarding a regional flight, navigating a field research site, or setting up a mobile workstation at a moment's notice — the Peli Air 1506 delivers the kind of protection that lets you focus on the mission instead of worrying about your gear. With 20 liters of interior volume, this medium-sized hard case hits the sweet spot between capacity and portability: spacious enough for a full camera kit, a set of precision instruments, or sensitive electronics; compact enough to fit under an aircraft seat or in the back of a vehicle.

Half the Weight, All the Protection

The 1506 is built from Peli's proprietary HPX²™ polymer, a high-performance structural material that makes the Air series up to 40% lighter than conventional protective cases of the same class. That weight saving is real and tangible — your shoulder notices it after a long travel day, and airline baggage scales notice it too. Lighter to carry does not mean easier to damage: the case is crushproof, dustproof, and fully waterproof to IP67 and MIL-STD-810 standards.

Your Gear, Perfectly Fitted

Inside the 1506 you'll find Pick N Pluck™ foam (available in the foam variant): a layered, pre-scored foam insert from which you simply pull out individual cubes to create a snug, custom-shaped cavity for your equipment. No tools, no adhesive, no guesswork — just a perfect fit in minutes. The result is a case interior that holds each item firmly in place, absorbing shocks and vibrations during transport.

Sealed Against the Elements

A continuous waterproof O-ring seal runs the full perimeter of the lid, creating an airtight, watertight barrier the moment you close the latches. An integrated automatic pressure equalization valve prevents the case from vacuum-locking after changes in altitude or ambient pressure — making it equally at home in the aircraft hold, at high-altitude base camps, or in tropical humidity. The IP67 rating means the case can be submerged to one meter for up to 30 minutes without a drop reaching the contents.

Ready to Lock, Built to Last

Two double-throw latches secure the lid, reinforced by stainless steel padlock protectors — a hardened bracket that shields standard padlocks from being pried away. The fold-down, over-molded carry handle sits flush with the case body when not in use, keeping the profile clean and snag-free. No wheels, no telescoping handle: the 1506 is designed for those who carry their gear intentionally.

Every Peli Air case is backed by a Limited Lifetime Guarantee — a manufacturer's commitment that the case will perform for the life of the product, or Peli will repair or replace it.
