FAQs
What is the HPX polymer resin?
HPX is a proprietary polymer resin developed by Peli, known for its exceptional strength, impact resistance, and lightweight properties. It's designed to rebound without breaking, even under stress.
Is the foam included with the case?
Typically, the Peli Air Case is sold without interior foam or dividers. These are available as optional accessories for customisation.
How does the automatic purge valve work?
The valve automatically releases built-up air pressure, equalizing the internal and external pressure. This prevents vacuum seal issues, making the case easier to open, especially after altitude changes like those experienced in air travel.
Can I take this case on an airplane?
Yes, the Peli Air Case is designed with air travel in mind. Its lightweight construction and pressure equalization valve make it suitable for carry-on or checked baggage, depending on its size and contents.
What is the warranty on Peli Air Cases?
Peli offers a legendary lifetime guarantee on its Air Cases, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
How do I clean the case?
Clean the case with mild soap and water. Ensure the O-ring gasket is clean and free of debris for optimal sealing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What are the dimensions of the case?
Exterior and interior dimensions vary by specific model. Please refer to the product specifications for the exact measurements of the Peli 1535 Air Case.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open after air travel.
Ensure the automatic purge valve is manually opened. If it's stuck, gently press the button to release pressure.
Latches are stiff or hard to close.
Check for any obstructions around the latches or the case opening. Ensure the O-ring gasket is properly seated and not pinched.
Water ingress despite the seal.
Inspect the O-ring gasket for damage or debris. Ensure the gasket is clean and properly seated. Check that all latches are fully engaged.
Foam insert doesn't fit snugly.
Re-measure your equipment and the case interior. Ensure the foam has been cut accurately to size. Allow new foam to acclimate to room temperature if stored in extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peli Air Case typically comes empty, ready for customisation with Peli's optional Pick N Pluck™ foam or TrekPak™ dividers.

Ensure all latches are securely fastened and the O-ring gasket is clean for a proper seal.

Care: To maintain the case's integrity, regularly clean the O-ring gasket with a damp cloth to ensure a watertight seal. Check latches and hinges for smooth operation. Clean the exterior with mild soap and water if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polymer.
