Backpacks like the TRIDENT-21 feature ventilated mesh shoulder straps and back panel with airflow channels to keep you cool while on the move. Larger internal frame packs such as the IBEX-35 backpack include padded removable waist belts and an adjustable shoulder harness/suspension system that accommodates for your torso length.

For superior durability, Vanquest uses military-grade Cordura fabrics, YKK zippers, and durable hardware, trusted by military and outdoor users for decades due to their proven performance. Relax and enjoy the journey with peace of mind.

When selecting your pack, consider the length of your trip, local weather conditions, and your mode of travel to ensure you have enough space for your essentials. Choosing the right-sized backpack allows for efficient packing, better organization, and easy movement, making it ideal for versatile trips and hassle-free carry-on travel.

For day trips, the KATARA-16 sling backpack offers an everyday carry capacity of 16 liters, providing enough space for overnight essentials. The main compartment fits a change of clothes, while a padded sleeve accommodates a tablet, laptop, or a 2L hydration bladder. If you need additional support for personal electronics, the JAVELIN-18 sling backpack features foam-padded dividers for custom protection of your devices.

For weekend getaways, the TRIDENT-21 backpack is perfect, with room for a couple of days' worth of clothes, built-in organization for your everyday carry items, and space for a 15” laptop, a 2L hydration bladder, CCW, and a loop-lined interior with three removable padded dividers for customizable pockets and sections. This flagship bag has storage for all your travel needs.

For multi-day trips or air travel, the TRIDENT-32 backpack is the top choice. Its rectangular shape fits easily into airline overhead bins as a carry-on. With a 32-liter capacity, it offers space for 5+ days of clothes, travel essentials, and electronics when packed efficiently, providing ample room and pockets for everything you need.

When traveling abroad in crowded areas or on public transportation, it's crucial to keep your bags and packs on your body and within sight. Cross-body slings provide a secure solution and can double as a secondary personal-sized bag for air travel.

Stay organized on the move with a sleek cross-body sling—perfect for essentials like wallets, phones, and small electronics. The DENDRITE-Small sling bag adds pocket space, while the DENDRITE-Large offers even more storage. Worn in front, they add security and help deter pickpockets.

For gaming and tech gear, the TEKKO-6 sling bag delivers weather protection and flexible carry options: remove the strap making it a tech pouch. Do you need just the basics? The slim, minimalist VERT-5 tech sling keeps essentials secure and close at hand in a stylish modern bag worn to the front on your chest or back.

Tracking small essentials simplifies travel, keeping items organized, protected, and secure. Organizer pouches offer portable, convenient storage with quick access.

Our PPM-SLIM, EDCM-HUGE, and FTIM 6X9 maximizer organizer series are ideal for daily carry, travel, emergency, and toiletry kits. With maximizer webbing, these pouches keep items secure and visible.

Modular organization allows you to create customized kits for EDC, travel, or first aid, which can be easily transferred between your bags or packs.

Packing efficiently helps you be mindful of what to bring, maximizes available space, and saves time unpacking and repacking. Using a few packing cubes to organize your clothes and travel essentials can significantly enhance your travel experience.

The expandable STICKY CUBE (XS) is a game-changer for efficiently storing small personal items, while the STICKY CUBE (Medium) is perfectly sized for your socks and underwear. These expandable packing cubes come in five sizes (XS to XL), expanding in volume to store your travel supplies and help to compress bulky items like clothes into manageable cubes. Pro tip: Roll don’t fold your clothing (except bulky pants, jackets etc.) to maximize space.
