They did, and I, a member of the hoi polloi, also keep it simple,
carrying 2-4 lenses most of the time.

Dang it, Giles, just go bare my secrets, why don't you ? Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Of course. They're easily the equal of Pelican, and appear to be
more structurally rigid --- about 10 0.000000e+00avier & about the same price.
They
come in the same variety of internal configurations (modular, foam, etc) I
think they have an ad about some sort of Arctic expedition that shows a
kayak towing 3-4 big Tundras behind it, right in the water (don't try
THAT at home) around the ice. Not very hydrodynamic, but speed probably
wasn't an issue :-). I own a 718 which is about the same size
as Pelican's 1520. Both brands have been great, and my 2 Halliburtons,
a favorite OM-sized one and a gigantic, too-big-to-carry, battered one
(to which I have managed to lose BOTH keys...:-/ ) and now is basically a
"tanker" have endured and passed the test of time. For me, the negative
side to the 'Burtons is that they slide all too easily on almost any
surface, which brought me some heart-stopping last-minute catches.
