LEDE Shotgun Cases

Building off of decades of innovation in the waterfowl-hunting industry, Avian-X is entering the soft-goods space in 2026 with a purpose-built lineup of waterproof and floating shotgun cases and neoprene gun sleeves designed to deliver in harsh hunting conditions.

Welded Waterproof Gun Cases

Engineered for complete waterproof protection, the Welded Waterproof Shotgun Cases pair rugged 600-denier shells with fully welded seams to keep moisture out. Inside, 10mm closed-cell foam padding and reinforced impact zones safeguard shotguns from bumps, drops and rough travel, while quarter-length zippers provide access for quick cleaning in the field. Compatible with most shotguns, including models with 30-inch barrels or extended chokes, each also features an AquaGuard-sealed front pocket for secure gear storage and a cushioned, no-slip shoulder strap for reliable carry in any weather.

Deluxe Floating Gun Cases + Standard Floating Gun Cases

Providing the most protection of the whole line, these cases feature rugged, weather-resistant Duk-Tek constructions that shrug off dirt, mud and relentless weather. Inside, 15mm of laminated closed-cell foam provides reliable flotation, keeping firearms visible and buoyant even if they drift out of reach.

Compatible with most popular waterfowl shotguns, the 53-inch Deluxe Floating Gun Cases come with an adjustable, removable shoulder strap and heavy-duty carry handle, simplifying transport, while a spacious external zippered pocket keeps shells, eyewear and other marsh-day essentials within reach. The cases are finished with antique brass hardware and rugged canvas accents.

Equally functional but a bit less flashy, the Standard Floating Gun Cases also include an adjustable, removable shoulder strap and heavy-duty carry handle, in addition to a roomy external accessory pocket. They're also finished with an EVA-molded muzzle cover and laminated polyester lining for added protection users can count on in the field.

Neoprene Gun Sleeve

Built from rugged 3.5mm neoprene, the Neoprene Shotgun Sleeve provides a durable yet flexible barrier against moisture, abrasion, and harsh weather, thanks to a soft, form-fitting construction that stretches securely around virtually any shotgun. A 25mm strap-loop closure at the stock holds the sleeve in place during transport or storage, while an adjustable webbed shoulder strap and additional webbed grab-handle offer quick, convenient handling. Compatible with most shotgun models, including those equipped with extended choke tubes or adjustable cheek combs, it's a reliable solution for safeguarding a firearm on every hunt.
