Vanquest Markhor 45 Backpack, Tough Built Gear

October 30, 2018 by Heath Layman Leave a Comment

Quality, Tough, a Lesson in Craftsmanship

You deserve the most durable and functional backpack for your next journey. Vanquest is the company you should choose to supply that backpack, IFAK, day-pack, messenger bag, organizer, or whatever bag you can dream up.  They are tough, durable, quality, and a lesson in craftsmanship. This particular bag, the Vanquest Markhor 45, is available in wolf grey, black, and coyote tan.

The Markhor 45 backpack internal frame shouts quality to you the second your fingers touch the material, buckles, and straps.  The zippers are strong, easy to pull, and durable.  It has an adjustable, 5-position, shoulder harness with a stiff and padded lumbar support.

A Compatible Backpack

The Markhor 45 backpack is hydration compatible and has Cordura reinforced frame pockets where you’ll find a poly-carbonate frame inside.  Outside you’ll find a removable, reversible, beaver-tail.  Flipping over the beaver-tail you’ll find Molle attachments to fit your “tactical” needs.  Inside the beaver-tail, you’ll find a smartly placed and generously sized map pocket.

When you start to fill the Vanquest Markhor 45 backpack you realize you have space to lay down and relax inside the 45-liter capacity!  This pack is the big-boy and meant to allow you to take it with you.  If you’re heading out to rough it, hunt, explore, or fulfill a mission this bag allows you to have what you need, take a beating, and be versatile enough to fit the myriad of things different people want to take with them.

A Backpack that Stands up to Wear and Tear

The Markhor 45 backpack is a tough bag made from 1,000-D Mil-Grade Cordura fabric on the bottom and 500-D Cordura for the body which is then treated with Durable Water Repellent.  Again, the attention to detail and craftsmanship is apparent.  The bright orange interior acts like a light when digging around inside in a low light.  The buckles, adjustable tool loops, and ELASTO Gear Locks work great at securing your axes, trekking poles, tri-pod, shooting pods, or whatever it is that meets your needs to the pack. This bag is rugged and easy to customize.

Comfortable Weight Distribution

The Markhor 45 backpack from Vanquest is padded where it needs to be and is fully adjustable to fit little or big folks well.

The padded shoulders, lumbar, load lifters and the placement of it all just works.  The Markhor 45 is built solid while maintaining a design that allows full access.

Beaver-tail and D.A.M. (Durable Arms Management) System

The Beaver-tail is smartly designed and allows you to quickly and easily secure a myriad of different rifle platforms to the bag, including those with sensitive and valuable optics. Watch here to see the features of the bag and how to secure a rifle.

Buy Once, Cry Once

Take a trip over to Vanquest and see for yourself the myriad of options for bags that are available to you and buy the Vanquest bag when your other bags wear out.  Your other bags will fail, they will wear out.  When they do, Vanquest will be ready for you to start telling people about the tough gear that takes a beating and value that matches price products that they offer.  Spend the money and cry once, not twice when a product fails.

It’s all the little things that make a bag a Vanquest bag, they are “meticulous without being overly complex.”  Go check them out!
