Unboxing the LifePod XRC100i
High Capacity Portable Modular Safe
Introducing the LifePod XRC100i, Vaultek’s most ambitious LifePod to date, and first-ever LifePod built to store, protect, and transport rifles. This LifePod has all the features and security you’ve come to expect from the LifePod family of products it’s airtight, weatherproof, and has internal locks but there are quite a few brand-new features to discover. In this article and video, we’ll take a deep dive into all of them.
Exterior Features
Built Tough for the Journey
The LifePod XRC100i is the largest case in the Vaultek lineup, and it’s built to endure. Constructed from high-impact polymer, it withstands rugged use while staying airtight and weatherproof. Anti-impact compression latches keep the case sealed tight, with a unique quick-release system that locks down with four points of compression but only requires one latch per hand to open.
The airtight gasket seal and waterproof keyhole cover ensure the case stays dustproof, weatherproof, and even floatable up to 90 pounds of loaded gear.
For access, the XRC features a weatherproof biometric scanner capable of storing up to 20 unique fingerprints, along with a backlit Smart Sense™ keypad programmable with 4–8 digit master codes. Together, they offer secure, fast, and versatile entry. As a backup, two manual keys are included perfect for travelers or anyone who prefers an additional layer of redundancy.
When you’re on the move, the XRC can be tethered to a fixed point using the included 4-foot steel security cable. Reinforced anchor points on both sides of the case make this quick and easy.
With overall dimensions of 42.2″ L x 16.34″ W x 6.57″ H and a weight of 26.83 lbs, transport is made easier by two ergonomically designed handles and rugged built-in roller wheels, which are replaceable to handle years of travel.
Interior Features
Secure, Organized, and Protective
Open the case and the XRC lights up. Built-in interior LED lights illuminate stored firearms and gear, ensuring visibility even in low-light conditions. All powered features run on a single replaceable 9-volt battery, offering up to a year of use before replacement.
Inside, multi-layered compression foam provides serious protection, but Vaultek has gone further with a unique interior rail system. Four columns, each with multiple anchor points, allow the included quick-release straps and cinch straps to secure rifles and gear in place. Combined with the foam base and lid, this system locks down firearms and prevents shifting or damage during transport.
The lid is also modular. Default compression foam panels can be removed and swapped for accessory panels (sold separately) that offer hook-and-loop surfaces, repositionable mesh pockets, or zippered storage. With these options, the lid can be tailored to your exact setup, whether you need room for optics, tools, or accessories.
Fitment
Rifles, Pistols, and Gear
The LifePod XRC100i is designed to handle serious firepower and essential gear with room to spare. Its interior dimensions measure 40.3″ L x 12.9″ W x 5.25″ H, offering versatile storage for rifles, handguns, magazines, and accessories. From compact carbines to bullpups, the XRC adapts to a wide range of setups:
- Rifles with barrels up to 16″
- Semi-auto shotguns
- Bullpup rifles
- Hunting rifles with shorter 20–24″ barrels and minimal optics
Transport is effortless thanks to two ergonomically designed handles and rugged built-in roller wheels, which can be replaced after hard use.
Whether you’re loading it for the range, securing firearms at home, or traveling with confidence, the LifePod XRC 100i is TSA compliant and delivers reliable protection in a portable format. And if your needs call for something different, Vaultek’s lineup from the compact LifePod 10 and LifePod 20 to the larger LifePod XR and LifePod XT multipurpose cases ensures a perfect fit for every setup.
