The HPRC 3500 'back-pack' design is shaped similarly to, and provides a more resilient alternative to conventional 'soft' back-packs. The case can be customised with a choice of accessories, including cubed foam and an internal bag with dividers.
These High Performance Resin Cases, made in Italy and constructed from Plaber's proprietary TTX01 compound, offer 'exceptional resistance to shock, corrosive substances, water, dust and weather'.
The TTX01 compound is based on polypropylene and balanced with additional high-performance resins to make the cases lighter and stronger. Cases have reinforced corners rubberised, ergonomic handles and two-stage catches. Neoprene O-rings give protection to IP67 and 'Airex' automatic purge valves that allow the exchange of air between the inside and outside yet prevent the entry of sand and dust. Hardware is stainless steel, handles polypropylene and SEBS polymer and latches are PA 66 Nylon. They are rated for temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees C. Approvals include: ATA 300, IP67, STANAG 4280, DS 81-4.

Accessories
This consists of a sheet of convoluted foam for the lid and two layers of foam for the base. One layer is 'cubed', a thin layer of solid foam lies underneath it. The cubed foam may be 'plucked' by hand to provide tailored housings to suit equipment such as microphones, cameras, lenses and other delicate items.
This is a zipped, padded, bag, shaped to fit the contours of the case. It may be lifted from the case and carried like a normal bag or over the shoulder using an accessory HPRCStrap padded shoulder strap, order separately. The dividers are supplied as strips of reinforced padding, faced in 'loop' material, which may be cut to length as required and bent to shape. Each end is then wrapped with self-adhesive 'hook' tape, to attach the divider to the inside of the bag or other dividers, thus making a series of 'pockets'. The bag itself has a zipped pocket on the outside, suitable for transportation of documents.
This fits in the lid of the case, to provide a large zipped, pocket, suitable for larger documents and small accessories such as mobile phones, pens and stationary.
