This B&W Outdoor Case Type 5500 in yellow is an empty protective hard case designed for demanding backcountry expeditions and use at sea. With three carry handles and generous internal volume, it keeps equipment safe and dry in all weather conditions. Foam insert not included.
The 5500 suits situations where durable, weatherproof protection matters. It withstands dust and water ingress, resists wide temperature swings, and includes practical handling features for transport. Therefore, you can rely on it for outdoor shoots, fieldwork, and marine environments.
The case features three carry handles to improve handling when loading or moving bulky gear. It also stacks easily for efficient storage and transport. Additionally, the rubberized handle provides a firmer grip in wet conditions.
The 5500 offers certified protection against dust and water, and its polypropylene shell provides robust impact resistance. An automatic air pressure compensation valve equalizes internal pressure, which is useful during rapid altitude or temperature changes.
