Pelican 1745 Air Overview

The waterproof 1745AirWF Wheeled Hard Long Case in black from Pelican is a crushproof hard case made from lightweight HPX2 polymer that will protect and store sensitive gear. The case secures with an updated push-button latching system that uses compressive force to tightly clamp the case shut on three sides.

A solid base foam layer and a convoluted eggcrate foam lid insert complete the protection. Carry your case using one or more of the three overmolded handles or if it's too heavy just tow it behind you on its two low-profile, quiet-running wheels.

Your case is made of a super-light proprietary HPX2 polymer with honeycomb structural elements, which is up to 40% lighter than most other Pelican polymers. Case design features include an O-ring that seals it to an IP67-rating to make it dust and waterproof, quad 5/16" (8mm) diameter stainless steel reinforced padlock holes, and a pressure relief valve. This valve regulates the internal pressure, keeping your gear and the case from getting crushed and allowing you to open the case without having to break a tough pressurized seal that may develop. For easy identification, there's a polycarbonate card holder on the front of the case.

Pelican 1745 Air Reviews

Amazing case for Touring

By Felipe
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-13

I bought the Pelican 1745AirWF specifically for the new Pearl malletSTATION EM PRO, and it has been a lifesaver for touring and travel. Finding a case long enough and deep enough for the EM PRO plus accessories is not easy, but this one works beautifully. The biggest surprise is how lightweight it feels compared to other heavy-duty flight cases, while still being extremely solid and secure. The wheels roll smoothly through airports and venues, and the case feels ready for real touring conditions. The foam insert was easy to customize around the EM PRO and extra gear, and the interior depth gives enough flexibility to organize cables, pedals, and hardware safely. The push-button latches are also great when moving quickly during load-ins and load-outs. For musicians touring with electronic mallet instruments or sensitive percussion gear, this case is absolutely worth the investment.

Solid Pelican Case

I've been using Pelican cases professionally for many years, and they always deliver with great protection, flexibility, and mobility, and this case is no different. I am using this one for an electric guitar and small pedalboard, and it allows the use of a gig bag for the guitar, so that once at the destination, the guitar still has protection once out of the case. That flexibility is why I went with this case rather than a guitar-specific flight case.

Would this be able to fit a 3 foot long collapsed boom pole that is not retracted?
Asked by: Adam
The interior dimensions are as follows; 44" length × 16.8" width × 7.9" depth If your boom is within those dimensions, it will fit.

The Pelican 1745AirNF Wheeled Hard Case, Empty without Insert (Black) exterior is 46.7 x 19.4 x 8.7" / 118.6 x 49.3 x 22.1 cm. Most will take that under the plane. but you need to check with specific airline as each one is different on under the plane size rules and charges.
