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 have a put a nanuk 910 on mine this year, I haven't rode with it yet but I think it will do fine. The 910 is fairly small so I'd suggest the 920 for what you will have in it.

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.
That looks identical to my Apache cases from Harbor Freight.

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.
