Whatever your opinion may be on taking technology with you into the backcountry, there’s no denying the straight-up burliness of the watertight, dustproof and “crushproof” Pelican 1510 (MSRP: $380).
Available as the LOC (Laptop Overnight Case) model or with padded dividers, the 1510’s FAA maximum carry-on luggage dimensions (22 inches by 13.81 inches by 9 inches) are capably designed to store and protect a laptop computer with ample room to spare for accessories and a change of clothes.
Whether your travels take you to the ocean, river, mountains or desert, this beefy box keeps the elements at bay with a reliable O-ring seal, automatic pressure equalization valve and a pair of double throw latches to hold it all together. At 12 pounds (not including foam padding), it isn’t light. But a retractable extension handle and stout polyurethane wheels offer the standard carry-on conveniences.
