Pelican 1535 Air Overview

This iteration of the Pelican 1535AirWF Wheeled Carry-On Hard Case allows you to maximize its available space while providing customized protection for your valuable gear. Included with the 1535 case is a Pick-N-Pluck foam insert for adapting the interior to fit your specific gear and ensure it is fully protected.

Pelican 1535AirNF Wheeled Carry-On Hard Case (Black, 26.9L)

The dust, crush, and waterproof 26.9L 1535AirNF Wheeled Carry-On Hard Case from Pelican is made from lightweight HPX2 polymer to protect your sensitive gear. Push-button latches use compressive force to keep the case securely closed until you open it. This version of the case is empty to allow you the freedom to completely customize the roomy 20.4 x 11.2 x 7.2" interior to your specific needs and gear. Carry the case using the overmolded handle or if it's too heavy, extend the pull handle and tow it behind you on its two low-profile, quiet-running wheels.

Featuring an O-ring seal, the case is IP67-rated and accepts user-supplied padlocks for extra security. The pressure relief valve ensures it remains easy to open, even after air travel. For easy identification, a polycarbonate card holder may be placed on the front or side of the case.

As with all bags and cases, you should check with your airline for the exact measurements of what they consider to be carry-on luggage.

Pelican 1535 Air Reviews

Hands down the best camera case I've ever owned!

By David A
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-23

This is my second Pelican case, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it works exceedingly well. My only complaint is that I wish it had 4 wheels. I swapped out the top foam for A-MoDe Limited Mesh Lid Organizer for Pelican 1510/1535/IM2500 Storm Case - also purchased here through B&H, and that has added considerably more storage space. I normally lay a folded backdrop on top, so that adds extra cushion without sacrificing the additional top lid space.

Perfect carry-on

Asked by: Matthew
The Pelican 1535AirWF Wheeled Carry-On Hard Case with Foam Insert is not wide enough for that lens. Specially with the hood on and if you plenty of foam to protect it during shipping. I would recommend a case that is 9 inches wide or more.

Is the bottom padding sufficient?

Is the bottom padding sufficient?
Asked by: Victor
For all intents and purposes, the bottom layer of foam/padding is sufficient for day-to-day use and extended use during travel as both carry-on and in some small flight situations as a gate-checked hard case (but as we all know check-in is still typically not a good idea).
