I recall looking up their ratings in the past, there is two parts to the weatherproof rating system and Apache was same as Pelican on one side and one step below on the other. And CA's wettest winter in a decade notwithstanding, I wasn't concerned about the rating difference, both were good. You'd have to really submerge the Apache cases to have any trouble. Or drive highway speeds into the face of an approaching monsoon.
It was reading those comparative ratings that made me decide the Apache cases were a great value. I never could stomach Pelican's pricing. I've never ascribed to the 'buy once, cry once' mantra. I've got far too many hobbies and demands on my wallet, for that sort of nonsense.
