We’re proud to support the Team of Mars Analogue Fumarole Interdisciplinary Collaboration (MAFIC), by providing high-performance protective cases for their next mission. The MAFIC plans to conduct a scientific research expedition at the Atacama Desert in Chile in April 2018. Part of their ongoing investigation of Mars analogues on the Earth is to inform on the interpretation of the data that is relayed from the rovers currently on the surface of Mars. The objective is to combine four different datasets…
We believe in living adventures, projects and missions to the fullest. In recent years, we’ve supported expeditions of all sorts – from ocean crossings and nature adventures to scientific voyages and humanitarian projects – with products that can be relied on, no matter how extreme the circumstances are. We would very much like to continue to support the missions we find most interesting, so we’re inviting facilitators from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa to share their proposals with…
Sometimes expeditions get complicated. Peli-sponsored astrophotographer Christoph Malin, from Austria, knows well. An Im2370 Peli Case saved his work in Tunisia, and he shared his story with us: So we are deep in northern Tunisia, at that remote ancient roman ruins site working late, day and night, on a time-lapse astrophotography. We pack the car at 04:00 am, completely wasted and exhausted. It’s a strange kind of shrunk car made for the arab market, a cheap, crappy car, and the…
Probably, his unique perspective has a lot to do with the award-winning trajectory of his productions. Maybe it is because of the passion that impregnates each of his films, showing adventure and mountains the way he loves them. You may know Sebastien Montaz-Rosset for titles such as such as “I believe I can fly” with the skyliners, “T’es pas bien là” or “Downside Up” with Vivian Bruchez, “Dejame Vivir” or “Summits of my Life”, a project that follows Killian Jornet,…
A trip around the world, with so many unaccessible territories to explore. A 37-foot aluminum sailboat, the Maewan. His capitain, Erwan Le Lann, and the internationally renown athletes that will accompain him in this four-year trip. And, of course, Peli. The perfect partner in this adventure. Being a part of extreme expeditions is a tradition of Peli Products. “At Peli we are proud to sponsor expeditions like the Maewan, since their motivation to explore, search for adventures and test their…
(…) The days before my scheduled flight to Islamabad were complicated due to the recent bombings and increased insecurity in Pakistan, which made some teams cancel their expeditions. The lack of insecurity I felt in the capital vanished when I reached Skardú. From that point I only met good and very good people. Good people and impressive mountains. Up to 3500m, right opposite you some giants of 6000m, makes you feel really tiny. It is like being in Vega de…

Driven by their enthusiasm and desire to see the world, they are registered in the Winter Edition of the Maroc Challenge 2014. This edition of the Maroc Challenge takes place this December.

Peli is happy to present the third mission to be chosen for sponsorship. AIME65 is an association of volunteers whose mission is to help people who have suffered all sorts of natural disasters and will now be the recipient of equipment provided by Peli. AIME65 was created in December 2013 in direct response to the heavy flooding seen in the south of France that year. AIME65 can be called upon to help people in the Hautes Pyrénées who are dealing…
Denis Palanque is a French wildlife photographer who, together with his colleague Nathalie Houdin, will embark on a special photojournalistic mission to South Africa in October. Their mission is to document and report on the story of a young French scientist working on an issue that incites controversy worldwide: the conflictive relationship between livestock farmers and predators. Zoologist Marine Drouilly is working to better understand the extremely strained relationship between South African sheep farmers and two natural predators: the blackjacked…
