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.

Get High-Impact Protection with a fraction of the weight.

Indestructible & Lightweight NK-7 Resin

Get High-Impact Protection with a fraction of the weight.

Impact-resistant, lightweight, and armed with an NK-7 resin body, this NANUK case is designed with rounded corners, thick, strong walls, and oversized details. No matter what nature throws its way, NANUK is built to survive. This NANUK is shock-absorbent to prevent damage to the case and, more importantly, to the valuable contents.

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof

Go where no case has gone before.

NANUK protective cases were primarily designed for front line protection, search and rescue missions, first responders, military, industrial, marine and diving uses. The professionals that rely on NANUK cases require a reliable, waterproof solution which resists deformation and fatigue. NANUK ensures a long-lasting, watertight seal - nothing gets in – nothing!

PowerClaw Superior Latching System

PowerClaw Superior Latching System

Close with confidence. Open with ease.

Ensuring that your smaller gear stays well protected from the elements, this NANUK case's patented PowerClaw latching system uses compressive force and triple action to clamp your case tight. Integrated slide locks offer added security, preventing your case from opening during transport or if it’s dropped. The super tough nylon construction and stainless-steel hardware ensure that your important items stay safe in your NANUK waterproof case no matter where your journey takes you.

TSA PowerClaw Latches

TSA PowerClaw Latches

One step up with Lockable PowerClaw Latches

We found a way to make our patented PowerClaw latches even better - they are now lockable! This NANUK case has two TSA PowerClaws and adds another layer of security to your case. All our TSA Latches bear the Travel Sentry® Red Diamond logo, which allows security personnel to open your case for inspection when required during travel. Each lock has a special TSA001 to TSA003 code, which is used by the TSA, CATSA, and other security agencies to know which secure tool to use to open the lock.

Polyurethane Wheels on NANUK Case

Polyurethane Wheels

Smooth & Silent rolling on any surface

Smooth mobility is a major advantage, especially when transporting cumbersome equipment. This NANUK case features polycarbonate wheels molded with polyurethane. Similar to what you’d find on rollerblades, these wheels, along with their sealed stainless steel bearings, ensure a quiet, effortless trip over a multitude of terrains and through lots of weather conditions.

Lid Stay & Reinforced Metal Padlock Holes

Reinforced Metal Padlock eyelets

Reinforced stainless-steel eyelets with a diameter of 8.5mm/0.34” can be used to secure additional padlocks.

NANUK comes loaded with innovative features. All models have integrate reinforced metal padlock eyelets that let you lock down your gear so you can carry and protect your valuables with confidence.

Spring Loaded Soft Grip Handle

Soft Grip Spring-Loaded Handles

Features two ergonomic handles for easy transport, oversized to accommodate gloves.

Nanuk cases always impress

These cases are great quality. This is my third Nanuk case now, and I love that I am supporting a Canadian company by purchasing Nanuk. In my line of work as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, most will have some sort of "road case" for their tools. I like to show off Nanuk cases to colleagues and the quality and protection that they provide. I look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Needed another Nanuk safe. ;-)

Technically my fifth Nanuk after having sold a 985 earlier this year. Built like a vault, I trust my rifles to be transported in these overbuilt boxes. Highly recommend if you love your rifles or whatever you are entrusting to be carried in your Nanuk.
