Awesome KLR650 Case

I installed it on the trunk of a KLR650 bike. The perfect top drawer, weatherproof, holds tools, toys, or camping gear, whatever the day.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Faulty

I have a ton of these cases both for personal items and 60-100 of them in the office to transport very expensive gear across the country. They've held up to use and abuse very well, and almost every time I need a case for something, that's the first thing I look at.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Negative Gift

I love this case, perfect for his needs.

I bought this case for my husband to keep his pistols safe on and off the shooting range. I'm glad I took a bigger suitcase, it fits more. He loves to. After a bit of play and fiddling with the foam placement, it will hold pistols, magazines and extra ammo perfectly. And he can change it if necessary. I love this purchase, if my boys ever need it I know where to start 😊

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Compatibility

Not what it used to be

I've been buying Pelican cases for a couple of decades, this latest version seems very cheap and not what I'd get from a Pelican for almost two hundred dollars expected . The clasps are cumbersome and don't feel strong, the plastic is thinner and weaker, and the hinges and handle leave a lot to be desired. The foam is of the same excellent quality. I think now I'll go with Nanuk cases, they're a third cheaper and seem better.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Some little things

Awesome KLR650 Case

I installed it on the trunk of a KLR650 bike. The perfect top drawer, weatherproof, holds tools, toys, or camping gear, whatever the day.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • So far so good

I have a couple of these cases both for personal belongings and 60-100 pieces in the office to transport very expensive equipment across the country. They've held up to use and abuse very well, and almost every time I need a case for something, that's the first thing I look at.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Still the best and still made in the USA, at least for now.

Still cool. Pelican is great. I use 2 of these for my cable certifiers. We tap them and throw them all over the truck and trailer. you survive. Best of all, I have $12,000 left over for each certification device. Pelican is value for money. YET they still do it in the US. If they go abroad, I will not buy them again.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Basically ok, but...

Cons
  • Sad gear
