3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,679
my unboxing and first look at the Pelican Urban Elite u00 now we're all

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,439
familiar with pelican cases in fact if you watch our videos you should probably

5
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:21,400
be quite familiar with them cuz we unboxed one that we used to transport

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,439
our camera to CES but now they have backpacks that have integrated pelican

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:31,480
cases so basically dust proof waterproof with a purge valve uh just generally BS

8
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,879
proof If something bad happens you're going to hope that your device was

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,719
inside something like this when the bad thing happened so let's go ahead and

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,800
start with the Pelican style features of the backpack and then we'll move on to

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,440
the slightly less interesting stuff so in here we've got places to put pens and

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Post-it notes and school supplies and all that kind of stuff and then we've

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:55,920
got an armored tablet pouch right in the very

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,160
front of the backpack now you're not going to fit any huge tablets in here in

15
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:03,519
fact it's probably mostly optimized for like your iPad or your Transformer or

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,159
whatever else sort of those sizes of things but you can go ahead check that

17
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:10,840
in there and it's going to sit in there very comfortably in fact it looks like

18
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:14,520
it sized perfectly for an iPad there's a soft surface here at the front if you

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,159
don't keep your iPad in a case so you don't have to worry about the screen

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:22,000
getting damaged and there's yet another pouch right here where you can keep sort

21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:29,400
of stuff that you want to keep there all right moving on to the next Pelican

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,880
feature so they are calling this the S

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,920
shape back or something like that

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,280
scurve Comfort back so there's like a

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,640
ton of padding here here and here but you can see this isn't flat at all like

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,799
you see the Contour there it sticks into the small of your back and then curves

27
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:51,880
around your shoulder blades so there's actually a way to take this apart and

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,640
there's kind of like a little uh hidden Pocket here in the top where you can put

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,439
more stuff and then down here you can see the dense foam that they're using to

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:05,039
make the S curve because the back here is actually the Pelican

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,679
case itself that makes up the main laptop compartment that is where your

32
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,000
stuff will be safe in this particular I wanted to call it a chassis but it's a

33
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:18,519
backpack since we're here at the back we might as well check out the other comfort features so these are kind of

34
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,319
they feel kind of like a gel strap so they rebound fairly quickly and they're

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,360
pretty firm they're not soft like a memory foam or anything like that but

36
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:30,560
honestly that's probably better for a backpack because any foam that

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,800
compresses too much or too consistent is basically like no foam at all you're

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:40,920
better off to have a gel so there is a chest strap uh goes right here there you

39
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:44,760
go and the overall build quality is very solid like these buckles are metal as

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,200
opposed to being made out of plastic fully adjustable and all that stuff that

41
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:53,599
you'd expect stitching looks extremely high quality I mean if yeah I mean I I

42
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,800
like Pelican Products already so you don't really have to sell me on them but

43
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,200
uh yeah I like Pelican Products because they do tend to be just sort of stupidly

44
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:08,440
r good all right so the inside they're calling this a checkpoint sort of ready

45
00:03:05,239 --> 00:03:09,760
uh laptop pouch so it's top loading

46
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,599
which means it's going to be easy to get out in the event that you do have to show it to someone at the airport they

47
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,040
include little spacers here so depending on whether you have a thicker notebook

48
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,360
or a thinner one you're supposed to install these spacers inside the main

49
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:27,239
pouch here so that it holds the laptop in place without jiggling around so if

50
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,720
you had something like an Ultra Book obviously there'd be quite a bit of

51
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:36,560
space in there it could move around if you don't install something like that so

52
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,120
that's what it's for and you can take

53
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:44,560
these off simply by threading them through here I believe no no there it is

54
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,159
so there's a velcro piece here and you can oh not take those off okay

55
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,280
apparently I was wrong about that never mind so it is intended to be loaded like

56
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,799
that is this it does not look like it intends for you to open it up all the

57
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,519
way although I really really hope I'm not wrong about that because there

58
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,640
should be a way to open that uh okay yeah no does not does not look

59
00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:09,079
like it so there you go that's what the inside looks like the purge valve is on

60
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,720
one of the sides there there you go so that keeps the pressure equalized in the

61
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,880
event that it does drop in water it's rated for 30 minutes under 3 ft of water

62
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,079
so as long as nothing totally disastrous happens then it should be should be all

63
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:24,880
good in the hood as far as your notebook's concerned the waterproof seal

64
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,479
is all around the uh you can't see that in the camera at all but it's all around

65
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:34,160
the outside here and the latch closes with a very rugged sturdy looking sort

66
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:39,400
of OneTouch latch here the handle on the top again it feels very industrial and

67
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:43,039
Pelican so it's got a rubberized grip on not even rubberized it's a rubber grip

68
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:47,479
on the bottom so it's extremely grippy and then the top is a textured plastic

69
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:51,800
the hinges are again kind of ridiculous like instead of just having one hinge

70
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:55,360
they're like why have one interlocking piece when you can have five so there

71
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,800
you go because we're Pelican because we can

72
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,199
um the side expand a little bit so you can either tighten these up to have it

73
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,560
not sit as far away from your back or you can loosen them to have them expand

74
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,160
so you can fill it up a fair bit even outside of the laptop compartment

75
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,280
although the laptop compartment does take up a good half of the overall

76
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:21,440
capacity of the backpack itself then we get

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,400
into all the stuff here so we can uncp

78
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,680
these ones and this ah yes okay good this is the one where you can undo the

79
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:33,720
velcro here and you can open it up all the way you so desire so there you go

80
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,000
we'll just undo that and it opens up completely so this is your main

81
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,919
compartment this is where you put you know your lunch or your textbook or

82
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,080
whatever else that is not critical and doesn't need to be stored inside the

83
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,000
waterproof compartment I think that pretty much wraps it up for oh no there

84
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:57,039
we go the bottom here is a really nice rubberized thing going on so it's not

85
00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,880
going to sort of slip or otherwise do

86
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,639
bad things more expansion spots here to

87
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,639
open up that compartment a little bit more and last but not least I almost

88
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,160
forgot a hidden drink

89
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:15,240
holder so you can throw a drink in there and have it hang off the side or you can

90
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:19,599
tuck it away and have it not hang off the side thank you for checking out my
