TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pelican Products, Inc. , the global leader in the design and manufacturing of high-performance cases, is preparing to deliver Pelican RUCK™ personal utility cases to retailers across the country in time for late season snow activities and early spring watersports. With an impressive IP68 rating (submersible to a depth beyond two meters for 30 minutes), Pelican’s all-new RUCK cases provide the highest level of security and versatility in a compact traveling companion ideal for snow and watersports.

“The Pelican RUCK cases are coming this spring to protect everyday carry items from the snow to the woods, the mountains, and the water,” said Bob Shortt, President of Pelican's Consumer Division. “Just like all Pelican products, the RUCKs are highly durable, essentially indestructible, and extremely versatile featuring unique and compact storage and carry options for outdoor adventure seekers and travelers.”

The watertight Pelican RUCK™ cases are built to withstand drops, shock, dust, dirt and water. Users can easily toss them in their backpack, strap them to a kayak, or carry them independently. RUCK cases feature a co-molded rubberized exo-skeleton as well as convenient storage and organizational solutions. The removable lid and divider tray with nylon loops provide various storage configurations for personal gear like phones and wallets, or outdoor gear such as first aid kits, multi-tools and action cameras.

Pelican RUCK™ cases are available in three sizes (R20, R40 and R60) and four color schemes (tan, black, green and orange) to accommodate a wide variety of gear and lifestyles. Key features include:

  • IP68 Rating: Submersible to a depth beyond 2 meters for 30 minutes.
