SHOT 2025: Pelican Aegis Luggage, Backpacks, and Accessories

Dan and I were immediately drawn to the sight of the new Pelican Aegis rolling hybrid duffel bags, which blend features of a hard-sided check-in style suitcase with those of a duffel. The Pelican folks then showed us the Aegis backpack along with some of the smaller bags, packs, and other accessories that are designed to mount inside of the Aegis bags.

We particularly loved the grab handles all over the check-in bags. They felt rock solid and would obviously be extremely handy for pulling the bags out of a truck or off the conveyor belt.

What surprised us most, though, was the light weight of both the check-in bags and the backpacks, despite all of the models having a hard shell and a ton of internal features.

I neglected to photograph the backpack so there’s a Pelican stock photo above. It was very good looking in person and extremely comfortable. It also features a pass-through for the check-in bag’s extending tow handle.

In our rush through the show floor we really didn’t do these Aegis bags justice as they’re very well thought-out inside and out and the quality looks and feels fantastic. They’re worth checking out for sure, and I’m quite likely to replace my old Kirkland Signature suitcase with one of the large Aegis hybrid duffels soon so may well give it a review after I take it on a few gun-related trips (should end up in South Africa again in 2025 so that’ll be a solid test for it). More on the Pelican site HERE.

Also seen in the Pelican booth, a nice option for all your drug lord birthday present needs.
