Evergreen 300 Mil Spec Single Camera or Pistol Case - Rugged

In this review the Evergreen 300 is judged as a compact, rugged storage solution for anyone who needs reliable protection for a single camera or a pistol with an extra magazine. The bottom line: this case is for owners who prioritize impact resistance, waterproofing and customizable internal protection. The combination of an IP67 waterproof rating, pick-and-pluck foam and crushproof construction makes it a straightforward choice when secure transport and storage matter more than minimal weight.

Key Features

• ATA compliant: Built to handle repeated travel and shipping so gear arrives intact whether you fly, drive or ship the case.
• IP67 waterproof and buoyant: Rated to 1 m for 30 minutes and able to float with over 10 lbs of contents, giving confidence near water or on a boat.
• Pick and Pluck foam: Foam inserts can be customized quickly to cradle a camera, lenses or a handgun and magazine for a snug fit.
• Impact resistant and crushproof: Thick polymer shell absorbs shocks and resists compression during rough handling or accidental drops.
• Twist lock latch with pressure equalization: Secure latching doubles as an air release for stable pressure, useful for altitude changes or sealed storage.

Who It's For

The Evergreen 300 is best for photographers, shooters and field technicians who need a small, hard case that protects a single camera body plus a lens or a compact pistol with an extra magazine. Its size and foam customization suit mirrorless cameras, rangefinders like Leica models and compact DSLRs, or compact handguns such as the Ruger LCP and S&W Shield.

This is not intended for large camera kits, multiple lenses, or long firearms; users with larger collections should look at bigger, multi-drawer cases. If ultra-light carry weight is the priority over hard protection, a soft padded bag will be lighter but offer less impact and water resistance.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Internal space is limited to single camera or single pistol configurations and will not fit larger kits.
• At 2.65 lbs it is heavier than equivalent soft cases, reflecting its protective construction.
