Product Information

Full details

The Peli 1660 Case is a premium, heavy-duty transport solution engineered for professionals who need to move and protect high-value equipment in the harshest environments. Offering a generous 160.17 liters of internal volume and military-grade construction, it is the ideal choice for photographers, engineers, and field researchers who require absolute security against water, dust, and physical impact. While it provides unparalleled protection, its substantial 19.1 kg weight means it is best suited for scenarios where equipment remains protected in transit rather than for frequent, lightweight portability.

FAQs

Is the Peli 1660 considered waterproof?

Yes, it is rated IP67, which means it is protected against the effects of immersion in water between 15cm and 1 meter.

Can I replace the foam if I change my equipment?

Yes, replacement Pick 'N' Pluck foam sets are available to purchase separately.

What are the internal dimensions of the case?

The interior dimensions are approximately 71.6 cm wide, 44.8 cm high, and 50.2 cm deep.

Is the case suitable for checked airline baggage?

Yes, its crushproof construction and pressure valve make it an excellent choice for checked airline luggage, though you should check specific airline weight limits.

How do I clean the exterior of the case?

Use a mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the high-impact polymer shell.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open after air travel

The pressure valve is doing its job by keeping the case sealed. Wait a few moments for the automatic valve to equalize the pressure, or unscrew the valve slightly to manually release the vacuum.

Water is leaking into the case

Inspect the O-ring seal for any debris or physical damage. Clean the seal with a damp cloth and ensure there is no sand preventing a tight closure. If damaged, replace the O-ring immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Peli 1660, first remove the Pick 'N' Pluck foam layers from the case. Place your equipment on the foam to plan your layout, ensuring at least one inch of foam remains between your items and the case wall. Carefully pluck out the small perforated cubes to match the outline of your equipment, then reinsert the layers into the case. To maintain the IP67 seal, ensure that the O-ring is free of debris, sand, or grit before closing the lid. If the O-ring becomes dry or cracked over time, apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant. Always ensure the pressure equalization valve is closed securely before transporting the case in wet conditions.
