00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.679
my unboxing and first look at the Pelican Urban Elite u00 now we're all

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:17.439
familiar with pelican cases in fact if you watch our videos you should probably

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.400
be quite familiar with them cuz we unboxed one that we used to transport

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:26.439
our camera to CES but now they have backpacks that have integrated pelican

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:31.480
cases so basically dust proof waterproof with a purge valve uh just generally BS

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:35.879
proof If something bad happens you're going to hope that your device was

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:40.719
inside something like this when the bad thing happened so let's go ahead and

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:43.800
start with the Pelican style features of the backpack and then we'll move on to

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.440
the slightly less interesting stuff so in here we've got places to put pens and

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.960
Post-it notes and school supplies and all that kind of stuff and then we've

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:55.920
got an armored tablet pouch right in the very

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

00:00:58.199 --> 00:01:03.519
fact it's probably mostly optimized for like your iPad or your Transformer or

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.159
whatever else sort of those sizes of things but you can go ahead check that

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

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

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

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.000
getting damaged and there's yet another pouch right here where you can keep sort

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:29.400
of stuff that you want to keep there all right moving on to the next Pelican

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:32.880
feature so they are calling this the S

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.920
shape back or something like that

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:38.280
scurve Comfort back so there's like a

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

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.799
you see the Contour there it sticks into the small of your back and then curves

00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:51.880
around your shoulder blades so there's actually a way to take this apart and

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

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

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:05.039
make the S curve because the back here is actually the Pelican

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:09.679
case itself that makes up the main laptop compartment that is where your

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

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

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:22.319
they feel kind of like a gel strap so they rebound fairly quickly and they're

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:25.360
pretty firm they're not soft like a memory foam or anything like that but

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.560
honestly that's probably better for a backpack because any foam that

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.800
compresses too much or too consistent is basically like no foam at all you're

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

00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:44.760
go and the overall build quality is very solid like these buckles are metal as

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.200
opposed to being made out of plastic fully adjustable and all that stuff that

00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.599
you'd expect stitching looks extremely high quality I mean if yeah I mean I I

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:57.800
like Pelican Products already so you don't really have to sell me on them but

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:02.200
uh yeah I like Pelican Products because they do tend to be just sort of stupidly

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:08.440
r good all right so the inside they're calling this a checkpoint sort of ready

00:03:05.239 --> 00:03:09.760
uh laptop pouch so it's top loading

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

00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.040
include little spacers here so depending on whether you have a thicker notebook

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.360
or a thinner one you're supposed to install these spacers inside the main

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.239
pouch here so that it holds the laptop in place without jiggling around so if

00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:31.720
you had something like an Ultra Book obviously there'd be quite a bit of

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:36.560
space in there it could move around if you don't install something like that so

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:39.120
that's what it's for and you can take

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:44.560
these off simply by threading them through here I believe no no there it is

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:48.159
so there's a velcro piece here and you can oh not take those off okay

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.280
apparently I was wrong about that never mind so it is intended to be loaded like

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

00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.519
way although I really really hope I'm not wrong about that because there

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.640
should be a way to open that uh okay yeah no does not does not look

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

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.720
one of the sides there there you go so that keeps the pressure equalized in the

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

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.079
so as long as nothing totally disastrous happens then it should be should be all

00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:24.880
good in the hood as far as your notebook's concerned the waterproof seal

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

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:34.160
the outside here and the latch closes with a very rugged sturdy looking sort

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:39.400
of OneTouch latch here the handle on the top again it feels very industrial and

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

00:04:41.039 --> 00:04:47.479
on the bottom so it's extremely grippy and then the top is a textured plastic

00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:51.800
the hinges are again kind of ridiculous like instead of just having one hinge

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.360
they're like why have one interlocking piece when you can have five so there

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.800
you go because we're Pelican because we can

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

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

00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:12.160
so you can fill it up a fair bit even outside of the laptop compartment

00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:17.280
although the laptop compartment does take up a good half of the overall

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:21.440
capacity of the backpack itself then we get

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.400
into all the stuff here so we can uncp

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

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

00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:37.000
we'll just undo that and it opens up completely so this is your main

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.919
compartment this is where you put you know your lunch or your textbook or

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:46.080
whatever else that is not critical and doesn't need to be stored inside the

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:51.000
waterproof compartment I think that pretty much wraps it up for oh no there

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

00:05:53.360 --> 00:06:00.880
going to sort of slip or otherwise do

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:02.639
bad things more expansion spots here to

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:06.639
open up that compartment a little bit more and last but not least I almost

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:11.160
forgot a hidden drink

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

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
