What features matter most in a protective hard case?


The most important hard case features are the shell, internal size, seal, latches, handles, wheels, lock points and foam compatibility. Evolution Gear can help buyers choose a protective case based on the equipment and transport use, not only the outside dimensions.

What to consider

  • Internal dimensions decide whether the equipment and foam will fit properly.
  • Handles, wheels and case weight affect how practical the case is for field use.
  • Foam, dividers and lid organisers affect how well the case works as an equipment system.
