Pelican Storm vs Air vs Protector:B2B ハードケース比較 2026
3 つの象徴的な Pelican ライン(Storm / Air / Protector)が B2B ハードケース需要の 90% をカバー。各ラインは異なるバイヤーの優先事項をターゲット:Storm は堅牢性、Air は軽量、Protector は価値。
Pelican ラインナップ概要
Pelican has 3 main hard case lines: Storm (im2300srugged, premium + heavy), Air (lightweight, premium), Protector (classic, value). All share IP67 / MIL-STD-810G base spec but differ on weight, materials, and price.
Pelican Storm Case: HPX resin (proprietary polypropylene), reinforced corners, automatic pressure equalization valve, stainless steel hardware. Weight: 1.2-2x vs Air. Best impact resistance (drop tested from 8+ feet). Price premium 30-50% vs Protector.
Pelican Air Case: lightweight HPX² resin (patented), same IP67 / MIL-STD-810G as Storm. Weight: 30-40% lighter than Storm. Slightly less impact resistance. Price premium 50-80% vs Protector. Available in 14 sizes.
Pelican Protector Case: classic polypropylene, original Pelican formula. Weight: standard. IP67 / MIL-STD-810G. Impact resistance lower than Storm. Price most affordable of the 3 lines. Available in 30+ sizes.
For B2B procurement, choice depends on priority: weight → Air, ruggedness → Storm, budget → Protector. Below we dive into each criterion.
重量比較(空ケース)
Weight matters for daily carry, airline allowance, and shipping cost. Pelican Air wins on weight, Storm and Protector are similar.
Pelican Air 1535 (carry-on size): empty weight 2.95 kg (6.5 lbs). 30-40% lighter than equivalent Storm case. Best for daily commute and travel.
Pelican Storm iM2620 (similar size): empty weight 4.4 kg (9.7 lbs). Heavier due to reinforced walls and HPX resin. Best for checked airline + rough transit.
Pelican Protector 1620 (similar size): empty weight 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs). Standard weight, similar to Storm but less premium materials. Best for storage and infrequent transit.
For B2B industrial users carrying case daily: Air saves 1.5 kg vs Storm = 25 lbs saved per week of commute. Over 5 years = 6,500 lbs less operator fatigue.
IP 等級 + 耐衝撃性
All 3 Pelican lines share IP67 + MIL-STD-810G certification. Differences emerge at the extremes of impact testing.
IP67 (all 3 lines): dust-tight + temporary immersion (1m, 30 min). Same spec across Storm / Air / Protector. No B2B buyer should differentiate on this basis alone.
Drop test: Storm survives 8+ foot drops at multiple angles. Air survives 6+ foot drops. Protector survives 4+ foot drops. For military / industrial / drone applications, Storm is the safer choice.
Crush test (ASTM D642): Storm 250+ kg load 24h. Air 200+ kg. Protector 180+ kg. Storm has the highest crush resistance.
Temperature range: all 3 lines -40C to +99C. Identical spec. No differentiation.
Vibration: all 3 lines MIL-STD-810G method 514.6 (truck transport simulation). No differentiation.
価格 + MOQ + リードタイム
Protector is the cheapest, Air is the most expensive, Storm is in between. Stock SKUs available, custom OEM on all 3 lines.
Stock SKU pricing (size 1535/1620 typical): Protector USD 200-300. Storm USD 300-450. Air USD 400-600. Price premium of Air = weight savings + premium resin.
Custom OEM MOQ: Protector 100 units, Storm 100 units, Air 100 units (similar MOQ across lines). Custom foam interior adds USD 50-200 per case depending on complexity.
Lead time: stock SKU 7-15 days. Custom OEM 30-60 days (tooling + sampling + production). Air may have longer lead time due to proprietary HPX² resin sourcing.
For B2B industrial bulk procurement (500+ units per year), Protector is the value choice (USD 200-300 × 500 = USD 100K-150K saved vs Air over 3 years).
B2B ユースケース推奨
Different B2B use cases favor different Pelican series. Below is the 2026 B2B procurement recommendation by use case.
Photography / broadcast (frequent airline check, 15+ kg equipment): Storm ATA 300 Cat 1. Weight penalty acceptable for impact protection. Alternative: Pelican Air 1615 + custom foam.
Drone (1-5 kg payload, frequent transport): Air 1535 + custom foam. Weight savings matter for daily carry. Impact resistance still adequate.
Military / tactical (NSN procurement): Storm with custom foam. MIL-STD-810G + drop test compliance is non-negotiable for military.
Medical (cleanability + compliance): Protector with anti-microbial foam. Lower weight savings not critical. Cleanability + cost-effectiveness favor Protector.
Industrial / measurement (5+ kg instrument, occasional transit): Storm iM2620 or iM2875. Ruggedness + impact resistance outweigh weight consideration.
