Our verdict

A rugged travel lockbox that seals out water and dust while still offering fingerprint entry. The battery is not included and the shell is polymer, so anchor it with the cable when left unattended.

Overview

Not a bolt-down home vault, the LifePod XR is a sealed polymer lockbox built to travel, with pluck foam that can be shaped around a camera, a firearm or other valuables. Fingerprint, keypad or key unlocks it, and compression latches with a rubber gasket seal out weather.

Weather sealing and a real lock in one portable case is the reason to choose it, on the road or in checked luggage. The polymer shell is light and tough, yet theft protection away from home depends on looping the steel cable to something fixed.

Who it's for

Hunters, photographers and frequent flyers get one sealed case that locks with a fingerprint and shrugs off rain and dust. Owners looking for a fixed bedside vault should choose a steel safe that mounts.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Airtight, dustproof and floats
  • Fingerprint, keypad and key entry
  • Pluck foam shapes around your gear
  • Works as a sealed case without battery
Cons
  • Battery not included
  • Polymer shell rather than steel body
  • Weight not listed
  • Theft protection depends on the cable

Performance notes

The seal comes from front compression latches pressing the lid onto an inner rubber gasket, so a clean gasket decides how well it holds out water and dust. Entry speed depends on the water resistant biometric scanner reading a stored print, with the keypad and keys as fallbacks. Theft resistance rests on the dual anti-impact latches, the steel interior hinges and how the cable is anchored.
