IP Ratings explained  
News Summary:
Peli offer IP 67 Ratings on their cases but to many it does not convey its importance for the protection of your equipment. Here we explain what it is. Basically IP ( ingress protection) 67 means dust tight and water tight under very stringent conditions. Add to that the elegant design, immense strength and durability of the materials used to construct these cases and you can then appreciate why these are so popular and the market leaders.
