IRVING, TX – August 2026 – To help hunters stay prepared from opening day through the final flight, Avian-X®, the most trusted name in innovative waterfowl-hunting equipment, reminds hunters that its all-new assortment of field-ready packs and bags is now available, giving waterfowlers plenty of time to upgrade their loadout before the season begins.
Built for the unique challenges of waterfowl hunting, the new lineup keeps essentials organized, protected, and accessible during treks into remote marshes, through flooded timber, and more. The collection includes three packs engineered to withstand demanding waterfowl conditions, along with weather-resistant ammunition storage solutions that protect extra shells from the elements.
The lineup includes:
- The all-new BA Backpack, offering 1,600 cubic inches of rugged, molded EVA storage space, a spacious top-load main compartment, and a fold-out front panel featuring dual storage areas for quick access to calls, gloves, snacks, and other essentials. Two detachable ammo bags each hold up to 40 shotgun shells, while an integrated weapon-carrying system secures a shotgun whenever hunters are on the move.
- The brand’s new Floating Duffel Decoy Backpack boasts an impressive 11,500 cubic inches of storage and room for up to 18 life-size mallard decoys. Its 2.5-inch closed-cell foam construction provides dependable flotation when empty, making loading and unloading easier in wet environments, while a rubberized mesh drain system quickly sheds excess water to reduce towing weight.
- The Floating Lumbar Blind Bag, a versatile pack featuring 1,300 cubic inches of storage combined with rugged EVA-molded top and bottom compartments that protect gear from it all—water, mud, and impact. Designed with adaptability in mind, the pack features a hybrid transport system with detachable shoulder straps and a removable padded waist belt, allowing customizable carry options based on terrain, distance, and hunter preference.
- The all-new Avian-X Shell Bags securely hold two boxes of shotgun shells, preventing ammunition from being exposed to moisture and debris thanks to their weather-resistant construction.
With season openers fast approaching, now is the time for hunters to evaluate their gear-hauling setup and ensure they have toting storage solutions built to handle the demands of another action-packed season.
