Chris Burkard put these camera bags through sand, storms and jostling – and now these battle-tested bags start at under $30 in the US

Pelican, a brand renowned for its hard camera cases, has introduced a line of soft-sided camera bags called the Aegis series. These bags are perfect for adventurers, as they can withstand tough conditions like sand, storms, and even powered hang glider flights, as demonstrated by adventure photographer Chris Burkard. Currently, these Aegis bags are up to 53% off in the US, starting at under $30.

The Aegis Sx3 Sling, a slinging bag designed for compact cameras and small mirrorless setups, uses weather-resistant materials and customizable dividers to protect gear. It's available in two sizes - Small at $28.95 and Large at $49.95. The Sling comes in Sand beige, which is part of the discount.

The Aegis Backpack features a compression-molded front, padded back and shoulder straps for comfort, and a sternum strap, grab handle, and luggage pass-through for easy carrying. It's also made with water-resistant materials and is available in Sand, black, and charcoal. The bag requires an insert for camera gear, but a bundle from B&H includes both the bag and insert.

The Aegis Check-In Rolling Duffle combines the protection of a duffle with the versatility of a wheeled luggage system. It's compatible with the Aegis Double ModPak or Single ModPak inserts, both of which are on sale in Sand colorway. The duffle is available in various colors and sizes, offering great versatility for photographers on the go.
