If you’re looking for luggage that can survive anything – from airports and downpours to rugged outdoor adventures, the Pelican ATX collection is one of the strongest options on the market. Built with true military-grade materials and fully waterproof protection, this is luggage designed for travelers who refuse to compromise.
Why Travelers Love the Pelican ATX
Pelican has been trusted since 1976 to protect military, emergency, and professional equipment. Now, that same protective-case engineering is built into a travel-friendly suitcase.
Ultra-Durable Shell
Every ATX case is made from Pelican Armor™ HPX resin, an injection-molded material engineered to withstand serious impact. These cases can hold over 220 lbs of pressure without bending or cracking.
100% Waterproof + Dustproof (IP67)
Unlike most “water-resistant” luggage, Pelican ATX is truly waterproof. With an IP67 rating, the case is completely sealed against dust and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
Rainy layovers, wet docks, dust, sand—no problem.
Premium Hinomoto Spinner Wheels
Even though the case is tough, the rolling experience is smooth and effortless. Hinomoto, one of the best wheel manufacturers in the world, provides the ultra-responsive movement.
TSA-Approved Latching System
Forget breakable zippers—ATX uses metal TSA locks for maximum security and long-term durability.
Real-World Performance
Built to Take a Beating
Travelers report their ATX cases surviving aggressive baggage handling without cracking or warping. Though the case may collect cosmetic marks, its structure stays solid.
Protects Belongings in Any Weather
Whether you’re caught in a storm or trekking through dusty terrain, Pelican’s waterproof seal keeps everything safely protected.
Easy to Pack
Inside, you’ll find:
- A compression panel
- A zippered compartment
- A removable ripstop liner
It’s simple, organized, and built to last.
Weight Consideration
The only drawback is that these cases are heavier than typical luggage (12.8–18.5 lbs empty). For travelers who value protection over ultralight packing, it’s a worthwhile trade-off.
Is Pelican ATX a right fit for me?
The Pelican ATX is ideal for travelers who need serious protection for their gear. It’s built for people who want luggage that goes beyond basic travel convenience and offers true military-grade durability.
You’ll love the Pelican ATX if you are:
- A frequent traveler who wants luggage that lasts for decades, not seasons.
- An adventure traveler dealing with rain, dust, rugged terrain, or unpredictable conditions.
- A photographer, videographer, or gear carrier who needs to protect expensive equipment on the move.
- A business traveler who can’t risk damaged devices or valuables.
- An outdoor or marine traveler who needs fully waterproof luggage.
- Anyone who prioritizes durability and security over ultralight packing.
If protecting your belongings is more important than having the lightest luggage, the Pelican ATX is an excellent fit.
