Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.

Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a “vacuum lock” which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.

Stand out with a unique design and color selection.

Design & Colors

Stand out with a unique design and color selection.

Rounded corners and chamfered edges merge with strong character lines to deliver a design that is as sleek and modern as it is tough and reliable. Be it for aesthetic preference or more practical purposes, color choice is an important feature for many NANUK users - choose from up to nine colors depending on the case.

I cant believe how amazing this case is. SO glad I didn’t go with a pelican. My only wish is that solid foam was available for all cases- mine has only pinch foam and my items are not square. I got the strap for it too. So cool.

Fit like a sturdy glove

I’ve been looking for the perfect size protective case for my 300blk pistol with a law folder, and this was in the Goldie-lox zone: durable, light, fair price, and the perfect size for rifle, suppressor and a couple of mags. Only gripe is a small one: Unlike most, I prefer solid foam to the pick and pluck as I find it to be a tighter and longer lasting solution. All in all, I’m super happy with my purchase and highly recommend!

Great case for pedalboard

I bought this as a case for my guitar effects pedalboard. The fit is good for a Temple Audio DUO 24 board and feels very secure. I bought this instead of the branded flight case which is around the same price but isn't as nice or has as many features. The only thing I don't really like is how stiff the lid is. I have to hold down the bottom and expend some effort to get the case open.

Looked forever for an affordable gun case for my breakdown shotgun that was affordable. The case is as they say INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!!!
A couple of padlocks latter I was hunting in Georgia.
Highly recommend their products.
