Think Hercules with a PhD.
Introducing the new Pelican™ Double-Throw latch. Chances are you’ve depended on the Pelican Protector Case for years. Over time we've heard incredible stories... Cases tumbling down mountainsides, thrown from helicopters, even going over waterfalls. And latches that never fail. It ain’t broke, but we’re making them better. Our new Double-Throw latch works smart, not hard. It’s the classic ‘C’ clamp design with some clever physics thrown in: a secondary movement that works like a pry-bar to begin the release and offers plenty of leverage to open with a light pull. With a failure threshold of nearly 400 lbs. for each latch, it’s the same tough design as its predecessor. And you'll know it when you hear it close shut. Also, check out our new Automatic Purge Valve: a one-way membrane that releases air pressure, but keeps moisture out without you having to think about it. Serious photographers know there’s more to a Pelican Protector Case™. You have your expanded polymer wall construction with the rigidity of an I-beam. A range of sizes to cover your career from a point-and-shoot amateur to 11/14 landscape photographer. Pick ‘N’ Pluck™ foam or movable padded divider sets to protect your babies. And a return mailer for an optional imprinted nameplate. Don’t forget our Lifetime Unconditional Guarantee. We’ll be standing behind our cases when photographers are shooting holograms. The Pelican Protector Case™. Sort of like Hercules and Madame Curie’s lovechild.
	Pure Physics: the latch uses leverage and the case’s own strength to open easily.
