Pelican Unveils Aegis 25L Tactical Backpack in Limited-Edition MultiCam® at SHOT Show 2026

The newest addition to the Aegis ecosystem is engineered for tactical enthusiasts

TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pelican, the global leader in mission-critical protective solutions, today announced the launch of the Aegis™ 25L Tactical Backpack, debuting exclusively at SHOT Show 2026 (January 20-23). Designed for tactical enthusiasts, competitive shooters, and off-duty professionals, the Aegis™ 25L will be available in a one-time, ultra-limited run of just 300 units in MultiCam®, marking the only opportunity to purchase this particular product.

Unlike traditional tactical backpacks that prioritize aesthetics over protection, the Aegis™ 25L is engineered with Pelican-level durability and structure, delivering reliable protection for sensitive gear in demanding environments. Built from premium 500D Cordura® fabric, the pack combines rugged construction with intelligent modularity, allowing users to configure their loadout based on the mission.

"The Aegis™ 25L Tactical Backpack is a testament to the Pelican-grade durability that professionals have trusted for decades to protect their mission-critical gear," said Shawn LaRowe, Chief Product & Marketing Officer at Pelican. "Launching this pack in a strictly limited MultiCam® release at SHOT Show allows us to deliver something truly exclusive to a highly engaged audience – gear that's not just tactical in appearance, but built to perform and protect with real-world application."

The Aegis™ 25L is outfitted with a specialized feature set designed for high-stakes organization:

• Integrated MOLLE Channels: Internal and external channels allow for seamless customization and compatibility with all Aegis™ ModPak™ pouches.
• Advanced Modularity: Features a large, fixed Beaver Tail MOLLE compression sleeve for flexible external storage and a rapid-access zippered side compartment.
• Range-Specific Organization: Includes a dedicated range bag, multiple ModPak inserts, and a removable pistol pouch for secure carry.
• Lightweight, Adjustable Comfort: Equipped with a removable waist strap and a quick-access breathable Velcro® pouch for essential gear.

By combining structured protection, adaptable storage, and field-ready materials, the Aegis™ 25L addresses common shortcomings found in tactical backpacks, offering durability where it matters most and modularity without unnecessary bulk or weight.

The Aegis™ 25L Tactical Backpack (MSRP $339.95) will make its official debut at SHOT Show 2026, January 20-23, and will be available exclusively through Pelican.com and Amazon. This limited-edition release is capped at 300 units globally and will not be restocked once sold out.

SHOT Show attendees are invited to experience the Aegis™ 25L firsthand at the Pelican booth (#13255), where the company will also showcase its broader protective ecosystem, including new case technologies, firearm cases, and the Aegis™ ModPak™ system.
