Absolutely love vanquest bags I have two of them I have the Markor 45 and the Trident 31 recently sold the Trident to one of my bug out partners. It was a upgrade from his 3V gear 72 hr bag.
This is exactly why I’m now a Vanquest convert over maxpedition and 5.11 ect . Great attention to details and quality. I hope they take over the industry:)
Nice interview! I met Michael on the IWA show in Nürnberg (Germany) and it was really a pleasure talking to him and get to know the details about the packs and the stuff they make. Greetings form Germany :)
Does vanquest repair pack? Because I have a trident 32 in multicam black and it has some problems years a loose zipper pull on of the zippers is only on one track.
Hey John, thanks for watching! Dialed in is right. All the zippers are YKK, and most are reverse sewn for smoothness and durability. Honestly I haven’t found a weak point yet.
Great interview, my friend. I just bought a pack about months ago so, I don't need another one right now but, if it should ever spontaneously combust into a mushroom cloud, the Ibex-26 will probably be next. I have one related question, in your humble opinion, who has the best interior pouches with hook and loop? Thanks for sharing.
Interior pouches with hook...hmmm. I use Vanquest AnchorWraps, which are hook and loop strips, to attach my gear and pouches to the inside. But I would say any type of Velcro would work. The AnchorWraps just make it easy, why reinvent the wheel? As always thanks for the comment!
Great interview! And yeah, I know what you mean about background noise during an interview! I did some interviews at the uscca Expo this year and the background noise just about killed my audio. I promptly went out and bought a wireless lav mic right after that. I think I need to step up my game and get a second one.
Hey ! Says the Canadian Maybe you don't know but i'm in wheelchair, so many thing gouin on heart, kidneys , but still i want to be ready, i bought a stupid ant bag, and stupid alright, never used it and bang busted zipper losing some stitching, i'm looking for time and toughtnes in one bag , i live in a northern island call montreal, there are winter here with lots of snow, can't just go shopping , the chair dont fit in store door, the transportation is alway a problem... there are so many kind , your suggestion would be what ? not really tactical urban but more, 40 liter the smallest. tanks ugly kenny say hello to madame tent cant really say ugly coz i saw her. squeeze mi french.
Hello my Canadian friend! I did not know that, and I’m sorry you have to endure so much. My prayers will be with you. I don’t think you could go wrong with a Vanquest pack. They are padded, and rugged. All the zippers are YKK and tough as nails. They are a bit pricey, but worth the extra coin. I’ll tell Mrs. UglyTent you said hello. Until next time, take care my friend. Kenny
I have the Vanquest Markhor 45. And it's my favorite bag ever. And I love yes orange high viz contrast fabric inside.

Not that I’m aware of, but try contacting them and see what they’ll do
Kenny, thanks for sharing . My only concern is zipper failure . Any thoughts on that ? It looks like a really dialed in pack though.

Vanquest is awesome I have several of their bags and really love and appreciate them very much
They are awesome!

I agree, I need to step up my game too.
He should have said “ I honestly just copied the Arc’teryx khard pack”
Love Vanquest.
But or any real distance, this bag is heavy.
