I am going with a hard case type tunnel bag this year. It will hold all the typical items, plus a DSLR camera & lens. What models are you guys using. I've read the term "pelican case" 50 times, but I have yet to see an actual model number. What's been tested as holds up to the cold & moisture?
What hard cases are you using for a tunnel bag / storage?

I'm not too interested in the soft bag type. That's what I currently have (different brand). It has been waterproof and held up great. I think I originally bought it for the 2013-14 season. I was one of the first on here to adapt it to the Linq system, and others have fell in line with doing the same thing. Last season I had the zipper come open while heading back to west yellowstone on a chopped up trail. I lost my tools, extra gloves, water, and my digital camera/lens. I rode back on the trail only to find a fellow sledder had picked it all up and was headed towards town to find the owner. I got it all back except 1 bottle of water and a glove......so I was grinning ear to ear. I wanted to give the guy a hug and buy him supper, and he declined both.
To make a long story longer, I just don't want to be in this position again. I want a hard case that I can trust to stay closed.

I bought a Ridgid case but have not used it yet because it weighs 8.8# empty and I know I would fill it so that would probably bring the total to 15-20#. I dont know what other cases weigh.
The pelican air series are lightweight.
Which pelican case # is that?

That Harbor Freight case looks sweet. Here's my $20 Plano case from Walmart. I've used it about 6 seasons. Works awesome, super light. It will break if you fall on it with all your weight (did that the first year), but it's plenty tough enough for what I use it for.
