All Weather Sextant Case – Compact

Description

Finally, the perfect protection for your sextant is available and Made in Canada. The mahogany box or plastic case you got with your sextant is fine for around the home or office, but while traveling or afloat, nothing can compare with this all-weather sextant case. It provides confidence against vibration, shock, and the elements.

The Case is made of injection molded, NK-7 high impact polypropylene. A silicone o-ring seal guarantees air and watertight integrity. In fact, a pressure relief valve equalizes pressure differentials caused by changes in altitude, temperature, or weather to ease opening the case after such events. It is ultraviolet and ozone stabilized, and the color is molded in and cannot fade.  The handle is comfort cushioned, and folds down to save space. External dimensions are: 16.7 x 13.4 x 6.8 in., which meets airline carry on regulations.

Powerclaw Latching System
The PowerClaw Latching System is engineered to keep your case closed during the toughest of missions. The PowerClaw clamps the case tightly closed using compressive force while the integrated slide lock prevents the case from opening during transport or when dropped. Polycarbonate construction ensures your precious items remain safely inside the case no matter where the journey takes you.

Waterproof Case IP67 Rated (Submersion at 3ft for 30 min)
The seal is designed to resist deformation and fatigue, ensuring a long lasting watertight seal.
Our waterproof cases are ideal for applications such as search and rescue, marine transportation / storage and diving. The case is complete with a lifetime guarantee in materials and workmanship for the life of our product.

Impact Resistant NK-7 Resin
This case was designed with one objective in mind: survival. With rounded corners, thick wall construction and oversized details, these durable hard sided cases are built to absorb the shocks without damaging the case or more importantly your contents. Based on years of experience in the plastics industry, our new NK-7 resin durable cases were developed specifically for the demanding conditions that they will be exposed to. Highly impact resistant, lightweight, and rugged, our NK-7 resin tough hard sided cases can withstand nature’s extremes. No matter the application, these durable protective cases clearly offer superior performance. Rugged, dependable, and efficient; our impact resistant and tough hard sided cases will never let you down.

Padlockable
Every case come equipped with two padlockable hasps molded directly into the case for superior strength. High quality TSA approved combination padlocks are available as an option to keep your items secure within your case.

Stackable
Each case is stackable with other cases of the same size. Integrated feet on the rear of the case interlock with the front of the case, allowing for multiple cases to be safely stacked on top of each other to save space or for transport.

Handle Stay
The case is tough and durable, but it does have a soft side. The handle structure is molded with our specially formulated high impact NK-7 resin but is over molded with a soft touch rubber for comfort. The soft shock absorbing material reduces fatigue when carrying heavy loads. The integrated stays keep the handle folded down to avoid damage during transport or shipping.

Integrated Lid Stay
The case comes loaded with innovative features. All models have integrated lid stays molded into the hinge that keep the case lid open when you need it to stay open. No more pinched fingers.

Stainless Steel Hardware
The hardware found on this case is marine grade 304 stainless steel. By using the highest quality materials available we can build a better case that will perform as well 10 years from now as it did on the day you purchased it.

THE INTERIOR
The sextant is held safely in position by a gray foamed rubber interior formed specifically for the model sextant listed. For sextants other than those listed, the Plath foam may be easier to modify to a fit than starting anew with uncut foam.  Since rubber may deteriorate with time and environment it should be checked periodically. For long time storage, the sextant should be encased in a plastic bag. Internal dimensions are: 15.0 x 10.5 x 6.2 in.

ACCESSORIES 
Several accessories which may be ordered are as follows:

RECHARGEABLE DESICCANT- A small perforated metal box containing desiccant and an indicator which tells when it must be recharged in a regular household oven. The desiccant absorbs moisture which may be residual from opening the sextant case. It is recommended for periods of storage.

SHOULDER STRAP- Black nylon, with non-slip pad.

Combination Lock
