That's worth knowing. Mine are for storing equipment at home, but from what you say they might not be suitable for travelling. They look to be made from high density polyethylene/polythene. I suspect they are okay but if I was travelling I think I would subject one to a stress test e.g. drop from a height to determine how strong they are. I guess the advantage of Pelican cases is that the manufacturer provides the assurance that they will do the job. Leif
