What does the IP67 rating of the NANUK 965 mean for my gear?
The IP67 rating means the NANUK 965 is fully protected against dust and solid particles (the '6') and can withstand being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes (the '7'). Your equipment will remain dry and clean even in heavy rain, or if the case is accidentally dropped in water.
Can I take the NANUK 965 as airline carry-on luggage?
No. The NANUK 965 has exterior dimensions of 32.5" x 21" x 15.8", which exceeds the size limits for carry-on luggage for all major airlines. It must be checked in as baggage for air travel.
How does the NANUK 965 handle transport over rough surfaces like a gravel path?
The NANUK 965 is equipped with smooth-gliding polyurethane wheels that are designed to handle rough and uneven terrain with ease. Combined with the one-handed retractable handle, you can comfortably roll the case across gravel, cracked pavement, or grass at a star party site without excessive jarring.
Will a large telescope like a Celestron C9.25" SCT optical tube fit inside the NANUK 965?
Yes. A Celestron 9.25" SCT optical tube is approximately 22 inches long. The NANUK 965's interior length is 29 inches, providing ample room for the OTA itself, along with a protective layer of foam and space for accessories like a finder scope, diagonal, and eyepieces.
What interior options are available for the NANUK 965?
The NANUK 965 can be configured to meet your specific needs. It is available with:
-
Cubed Foam: Pre-scored foam that you can pluck out to create a custom-fit cavity for your equipment.
-
Padded Dividers: Adjustable, hook-and-loop dividers that allow you to create and reconfigure compartments as your gear changes.
-
Empty: Allowing you to install a custom foam insert or use the case for bulk storage.
How much does the NANUK 965 weigh when empty?
The NANUK 965 case weighs 25.05 lb (11.36 kg) without any foam or dividers inside. This lightweight design, relative to its size and strength, is due to the advanced NK-7 resin construction.
