••• What Makes Hiscox Cases Unique ••• |
|
 |
More Than 1/2 Ton Crush Strength
The Hiscox Standard case has only a 1.5mm shell yet can
support well over 1/2 ton. The Pro II and Artist models, with their
thicker shells can support even more!
The criteria for the design called for the construction of the very best lightweight cases possible, encompassing the use of the finest modern materials. The result is a range of cases manufactured using a unique composite double moulded construction which gives unparalleled protection for your instrument from a lightweight case.
The construction consists of a moulded, high impact resistant ABS plastic outer shell, bonded directly to an inner moulding manufactured from a unique blend of "High Tech" cellular foam. This inner moulding is feather light and, being semi-rigid, is designed to soak up impact shocks. The unique bonding of the inner moulding to the outer shell gives unbeatable, total structural rigidity unmatched by any other case in the world in this price range.

Hear from the Inventor
Hiscox founder Brynn Hiscox explains why the unique balance
of properties of his case shells yield strength, toughness
and rigidity over a wide temperature range. These characteristics
contribue to a case which offers outstanding shock and thermal
protection unique to Hiscox Cases.

1" Aluminum Valance
The aluminium valance is unique to Hiscox Cases. Its design not only increases the rigidity of the case, but ensures a positive location of lid to base when the two halves are closed. Unlike any other case available on the market, the valance extends deep inside the case behind the plastic shell, into which all the hardware (handles, catches, hinges etc.) is riveted. This method of fixing greatly reduces the possibility of fittings working loose.

ABS/Polyurethene Construction
Hiscox Cases are made of either 2mm (Pro II) or 2.5mm (Artist) ABS plastic chemically-bonded to expanded polyurethene foam, not polystyrene (Styrofoam) like Hiscox competitors.
The case lining is completed with a crushed velvet type fabric which is bonded directly to the shaped foam moulding, giving a tailored, luxurious feel. Extra cushioning is provided by upholstered pads in the PRO and Artist ranges which are factory fitted in key areas. |

The Hiscox structure exhibits superior thermal insulation properties when compared
to plywood and other moulded cases despite being lighter in weight. Both the hot and cold tests
clearly show the excellent temperature insulation properties of the Hiscox Liteflite structure.
