Pelican Travel Packs

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is special about the Aegis hybrid construction used in Pelican travel packs like the PX25 Aegis Travel Pack?

  The Aegis series combines a compression-molded EVA front shell and Pelican Shield™ hybrid material with weather-resistant 500D Cordura® fabric to balance hard-shell protection and soft-pack flexibility. That hybrid build provides impact resistance and abrasion protection for gear while keeping the pack comfortable and lightweight for carry.
• Which Aegis size is best for day trips, commuting, or longer travel?

  Choose 18–25L (like the PX25’s ~25L capacity, 11.81" × 7.48" × 19.69", ~2.87 lbs) for day hikes, urban commuting, or carry-on needs, and the 45L Aegis for multi-day trips or gear-heavy travel where more internal volume and duffel-style packing help. Consider how much camera, laptop, or drone gear you’ll carry and whether you need modular organization—smaller sizes favor mobility, larger sizes favor capacity.
• How does the PX25 Aegis Travel Pack compare to Pelican’s ATX hard-sided luggage?

  The PX25 is a hybrid, carry-focused pack that pairs an EVA-molded front shell and soft Cordura® back for hands-on mobility and ModPak/MOLLE customization, while ATX is a fully hard-sided luggage line built for checked travel and rolling transport. If you need on-body protection and quick access for cameras or a laptop, the PX25 is more versatile; if you need maximum crush protection and wheeled handling for checked bags, ATX is the heavier-duty option.
• Will an Aegis pack protect electronics like laptops, cameras, or drones in rough or wet conditions?

  Aegis packs use Pelican Shield™ materials, an EVA-molded front panel, and water-resistant 500D Cordura® to resist impacts, abrasion, and typical weather exposure, and include padded laptop sleeves and organized interiors for secure stowage. They’re designed to reduce shock and keep gear drier than a standard soft pack, though added ModPak cubes or dedicated padded inserts are recommended for fragile camera equipment.
• How do I customize organization on Aegis packs and which ModPak accessories work best?

  Aegis packs feature MOLLE webbing, Velcro quick-connect points, and internal dividers to accept ModPak accessories like SPL electronics pouches and SPM cable organizers, letting you build a tailored layout for cameras, batteries, and travel essentials. Use smaller ModPak cubes for cords and chargers and larger pouches or padded inserts for lenses or laptops to maximize protection and keep items accessible.
