Finding suitable protective cases for PRO Vest systems for air travel

12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The SKB 1650 case designed for earlier vest models does not accommodate the PRO Vest without difficulty and requires forcing the case closed
  • The Pelican Storm im2950 case can fit a PRO Vest with modifications and custom foam work, allowing storage of the vest, two PRO arms, and accessory kits
  • Custom foam inserts and lid modifications are typically needed when repurposing standard hard cases for PRO Vest transport

Depends on

  • This discussion addresses cases for the PRO Vest specifically and may not apply to other models
  • The Pelican Storm solution required custom fabrication by a third party and cutting of original foam
  • Only one alternative case model was tested and recommended in this thread
  • The discussion is from 2014 and case availability or design may have changed
