Pelican ProGear: PDB TESTED No. 163

March 2015 PDB Tested Roy Sparks

“Take everything out of your pockets when you first come onboard.” At least, that’s what people who have jumped in the lake with their wallets still in their pockets like to preach. It’s good advice, but sometimes tossing your wallet into a deep storage compartment below your seat—where there is no guarantee your wallet will stay dry or that no one will toss a wet towel on top of it—seems like a bad idea.

Sometimes you just need to go with something most would consider a little overkill and the Sport Wallet from Pelican is just that. It allows you to keep just the essentials with you when boating, such as your license, a little cash and maybe a credit card for emergencies. With the dual mesh pockets and an easy-open latch, it’s never been easier to protect your items. Pelican is known for making some very durable cases in a variety of sizes and this Sport Wallet clearly comes from the same family of great durable products. Not only is this case water and dust resistant, it’s also crushproof and guaranteed for life. Plus it also protects against extreme heat, which is why boaters love it.

The Sport Wallet retails for $31.88, which seems like a fair price for the peace of mind it offers. The exterior of the case measures 5.55 inches by 3.27 inches by 0.85 inches thick, so it will easily fit in your pocket. And just in case you forget it’s in your pocket, you know you’re covered if it happens to get wet on your next outing.
