Abstract

A light-weight, durable, soft shell firearm case made from flexible Neoprene can be snugly fitted to a gun like a glove, and once removed, rolled into a compact configuration for convenient carrying. The frameless, reversible cover comprises a pair of flexible sides, one with a flap with a Velcro strip, and the other with a mating strip. The case snugly fits around the firearm, preventing contact with mud, snow, dust, debris and moisture. The tight fit allows the hunter to transport the gun as if no case were in use. Clearance regions allow the user to transport a firearm with its own strap without placing weight in the region between the clearance regions. Quick-acting Velcro straps are used to hold the flap. If the device becomes dirty or muddy, it can easily be hand washed. The flexible, pliant design allows for it to be “rolled-up” for easy storage.
