Solid overview, great job!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and awesome job on the bag!:)

[@machsi1900]

Thanks for the review. Hope Vanquest puts external bottle and umbrella pockets for version 2. Cheers and God bless!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! :)

[@sais9221]

thanks for all these ccw bags reviews they are very helpful. I am 5.6ft and in search of a ccw office bag that can fit a 17" laptop. I wonder if this one wil fit because this is the best sleek looking one so far!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the videos have been helpful! A 17 inch might be able to squeeze in but it would likely be a little tight, the 25L version of this might be a little better for that size laptop

[@realkruti1013]

I like your simplicity

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching!:)

[@realkruti1013]

@@dannypacks please review best masks

[@gripperharris]

just a thought have you looked at the xd design backpacks for simple look but good edc? they may be of interest and are very comfortable

[@utilizadoinvalido]

They are good. Weird design ... but good. I have a boddy and still solid. Looking for the new one ... in Ks

[@carlosespinal17]

Nice video! Have you checked the smaller bellroy ones?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! The smallest Bellroy bag I’ve checked out is the classic V2 which I loved but I’m sure there’s some more I need to take a look at from them!:)

[@PaulLeach123]

Do more Vanquest! Skycap 45, Ibex35. (You shoulda done the addax 25. Much better size for EDC)

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the suggestions! I’ll have to check some of those out and I agree the 25 addax would have probably been a little more up my alley!:)

[@eldelacajita]

Thanks for the review! It's the best one about this bag, hands down. A question: Is the bag as creaking as it sounds? Does the external material feel more like a textile or like plastic?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! There is a slight bit of crinkle when opening the compartments of the bag, but I really didn’t notice it when walking around. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)

[@eldelacajita]

@@dannypacks Thanks a lot for the reply!

[@spellerlittlewing]

Very nice size wish it had compression straps

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and that’s a good point, the compression straps would have been a nice addition!:)

[@brianstarr6468]

Me a Canadian viewer: magazines for your what!?!?

[@Enjoyyourcarry]

Hi does this stand on its own most of the time?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! The 18l version from this video stands up ok on its own but it can be a little inconsistent given how slim the bag is, I think the larger 25l version would stand on its own a bit better. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)

[@JS1149]

Do you think this would make a good personal item/daypack?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and yes I think it would work well for those use cases if you are looking for something a little slimmer and more compact

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

NEED A PACK 15-21 L FOR EDC. TORN BETWEEN 5/11, MAXPEDITION AND VANQUEST ANY THOUGHTS?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! Tough to choose between the 3 for sure, all are good options, 5.11 is maybe a little more budget friendly, but vanquest feels a bit more durable (haven’t had too much experience with maxpedition bags as of yet)

[@pgunna1221]

vertx tranzit

[@pgunna1221]

i just ordered this bag so i cant speak on it yet. ut the katara 16 also a solid choice

[@Enjoyyourcarry]

Any chance you still have this bag and want to sell it?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I don’t have this bag at the moment

[@Enjoyyourcarry]

@@dannypacks oh ok, thx for your reply

[@marianthelibrarian2274]

I like the size, but it would have to hold my headphones

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! And I think the bag could hold a variety of headphones mine just didn’t fit too comfortably with all the other items I had in the bag:)

[@Paa375]

It does look a little small on you but I prefer smaller bag I’m only 5’3. Actually I would like to see more reviews on bags no bigger then 20L 15-20L is a nice size for me. But I know you prefer the bigger bags. I like this bag but almost too much organization. I like some but this is almost over kill. And AER does the same thing. I want a compartment that has a lot of empty space with some organization. Love the bright orange interior more bag companies need to do this koodos to vanquest

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and great points! Even though I like having a little bit more space I definitely see the value in having some smaller and more minimal bags especially if you really don’t need to carry that much with you on a day to day basis!

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

GOT IT...DISLIKED IT...RETURNED IT. EVERYTHING MAXPEDITION IS JUST NICER/BETTER FOR ABOUT THE SAME COST. FACT

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with the bag!

[@georgeseriani2482]

Vanquest used to be the best and then they came out with the urban series which would be fine if it was made from 1000 D virtues I'm saying always give us the option btw the 500 D only lasts a year before it starts coming apart loose threads everywhere I need my packs to last decades.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience! I haven’t had any issues with my 500d bags yet thankfully but it definitely doesn’t feel as rugged as 1000d!

[@jacobpetersen5662]

500 Codura is MORE than enough. Get the Multicam if u want cordura.

[@tmo7734]

Who cares about the size and the color of the logo? Get serious.

[@giuseppefasone6452]

I do 😊
