Expanding its assortment to include soft goods in 2026, legendary waterfowl brand Avian-X® announced an all-new lineup of packs specifically designed to keep waterfowl hunters organized, mobile, and ready for anything.
The all-new BA Backpack offers 1,600 cubic inches of rugged, molded EVA storage for everything you need in the blind. It features a top-load main compartment and a fold-out front panel with dual storage areas that provide quick access to calls, gloves, and other essentials. Two detachable ammo bags can hold up to 40 rounds each, while external MOLLE daisy chains allow hunters to customize each setup to their liking. Dual duck totes on the shoulders quickly and easily secure limits of birds, and an integrated weapon-carrying system keeps firearms safe on the go.
Avian-X has also introduced a high-capacity Floating Duffel Decoy Backpack to its lineup, offering an impressive 11,500 cubic inches of storage—enough for up to 18 life-size mallards—and built to withstand the toughest waterfowl conditions. It features 2.5-inch closed-cell foam for dependable flotation and a rubberized mesh drain that quickly sheds water, reducing weight during long, waterlogged trips. Add in a rugged 900-denier DUK-TEK material, adjustable padded shoulder straps, three grab handles, and a large, zippered opening for quick access to gear, and you've got the perfect mix of flotation, capacity, and durability serious waterfowl hunters demand.
The third item in the new branded lineup of packs is the Floating Lumbar Blind Bag, which delivers a 1,300-cubic-inch capacity, paired with rugged EVA-molded top and bottom compartments to shield gear from water, mud, and impact, while keeping the entire bag afloat. A unique, hybrid transport system with detachable shoulder straps and a removable padded waist belt lets hunters customize carry on the fly, and a thoughtfully designed interior—complete with a built-in organizer, stretch-webbing lid pocket, and dual ammo bags—keeps every piece of gear where it belongs. Add adjustable firearm straps and a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket, and this bag proves itself the ultimate companion for every waterfowl season yet to come.
These waterfowl hunting packs and other new-for-2026 products were on display last week at the annual SHOT Show event in the GSM Outdoors booth.
