IRVING, TX – August 2026 – Waterfowl hunters looking to upgrade their gear now have a new reason to start preparing early. Avian-X®, the most trusted name in innovative waterfowl-hunting equipment, recently announced that its all-new assortment of field-ready packs and bags is now available, giving hunters plenty of time to gear up before the preseason rush begins.
Designed to keep essential gear organized, protected, and ready for action both in the blind and on the move, this unique new lineup includes three purpose-built packs engineered specifically for the demands of waterfowl hunting, as well as weather-resistant bags for storing and protecting ammunition.
The all-new BA Backpack offers 1,600 cubic inches of rugged, molded EVA storage—from a top-load main compartment to a fold-out front panel with dual storage areas for quick access to calls, gloves, and other essentials. Two detachable ammo bags hold up to 40 rounds each, and an integrated weapon-carrying system keeps firearms both secure and accessible. Click here to learn more.
Avian-X also introduced its high-capacity Floating Duffel Decoy Backpack. With an impressive 11,500 cubic inches of storage, enough space for up to 18 life-size mallards, this pack is built to handle the toughest waterfowl environments. It features 2.5-inch closed-cell foam for dependable flotation when empty, simplifying loading and unloading, and a rubberized mesh drain system that quickly sheds water, reducing weight when towed.

Rounding out the new pack lineup is the Floating Lumbar Blind Bag, offering a 1,300-cubic-inch capacity paired with rugged EVA-molded top and bottom compartments that shield gear from water, mud, and impact while also keeping the bag afloat. An innovative hybrid transport system with detachable shoulder straps and a removable padded waist belt even allows hunters to quickly customize carry on the fly. Click here to learn more.
And, for those who love a purpose-built accessory, the brand’s all-new Shell Bags are perfectly sized to carry two boxes of shotgun shells, providing a secure, weather-resistant ammo storage solution in any hunting conditions.
The new assortment of packs and bags is available now through select retailers nationwide and online, allowing hunters to upgrade their setups well before season openers.
