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
