The Vaultek LifePod XE Special Edition is the fully-loaded version of the new XE lineup. If you want every Vaultek option included from day one (the biometric scanner, the lid organizer, the gun mat, the pluck foam) without buying accessories piecemeal over time, this is the version to choose. It's also the natural pick if you carry more than just a handgun, travel frequently, and want everything organized from the start, or if you're buying for someone who appreciates premium configurations.
Three ways to open it, all keyed to you. The 360-degree HD biometric scanner stores up to twenty unique fingerprints and reads from any angle, including upside down, so a quick grab in the dark or while seated in a vehicle reads cleanly the first time. A Smart Sense touch-activated keypad accepts a custom four- to eight-digit code as an alternative. Two included manual backup keys cover the rare case where the electronics are not an option.
The body is Vaultek's TP3 polymer, the next-generation version of the T3 used on earlier LifePods. It's a proprietary impact-resistant blend that is neither metal nor light-duty plastic. It's drop-tested, lightweight, and rugged enough to ride in a glovebox, backpack, or checked luggage. The closed case measures 14.125 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 3.75 inches tall, with a slim briefcase profile that gives the XE line its name. It fits under a vehicle passenger seat, in a backpack, in a carry-on, or in a nightstand drawer without taking over the space.
Dual front compression latches plus an inner rubber gasket make the LifePod XE airtight, dustproof, water-resistant enough to float, and TSA-compliant for checked-luggage firearm transport when you follow your airline's guidelines. A quick-release steel security cable mount lets you tether the box to a vehicle frame, bed frame, or fixed anchor when you need to leave it unattended.
What sets the Special Edition apart is the interior. Instead of the Standard and Biometric Editions' stack of crate foam layers, the Special Edition ships with a top lid organizer with mesh pockets for documents, magazines, and accessories, a removable slip cover that doubles as a gun mat, a pluck foam base layer you can customize to the exact shape of your handgun, and a crate foam base layer for general items. It is the configuration you would build over time on the Standard Edition, included from the box.
A 9V alkaline battery (not included) runs the electronics for up to a year of normal use. If the battery dies, a hidden USB-C port behind the front keyhole cover lets you power the unit externally and get back in. The compression seal works whether or not the battery is alive, so even an out-of-power LifePod XE still keeps water and dust out.
Available in Covert Black. If you have questions about which LifePod XE edition fits your use case, or you'd like to compare the Special Edition against the keypad-only Standard or the biometric-and-crate-foam Biometric Edition, give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
