The B&W Outdoor Cases Type 5500 keeps your equipment safe and dry with a waterproof, dustproof shell and pre-cut foam inserts. It suits demanding backcountry expeditions and open-sea use where weather and rough handling are concerns. The case balances protection, transport options and modular accessories for varied field needs.
The Type 5500 features a durable polypropylene case shell that resists impacts and environmental exposure. It offers dustproof and waterproof protection and includes an automatic air pressure compensation valve to equalize pressure during altitude changes or temperature shifts.
For carrying, the case comes with three carry handles and a rubberized handle for improved grip. You can also secure the case using the two eyelets provided for padlocks. Additionally, the case is stackable which helps when storing multiple cases or organizing transport.
The case arrives with pre-cut foam inserts in both the lid and the main compartment. These foam inserts provide organized cushioning for equipment and reduce movement during transport. The pre-cut configuration allows you to place gear quickly without additional cutting or shaping.
The Type 5500 performs across a wide temperature span and remains operational in extreme conditions. It is temperature resistant from -30° up to +80° C, which supports use in cold alpine environments as well as hot climates. The case meets IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.
