So I'm 6'2" and about 250 and have a hard time finding a smaller pack that fits well. So based in no small part on your review, I decided to hand over the money to try this new Ibex. Just received the pack ,and after adjusting and loading it up, I can attest that you were right on point with this. It is by far the best fitting pack of this size that I have tried. Workmanship and materials are great and design offers lots of load options. I also like the relatively narrow and tall profile...probably a big reason why it fits well. Not cheap and it was hard to part with the funds, but I can now see the value first-hand. Thanks for the great review and keep up the good work!

[@mattheauchesterfield4465]

Insane how this pack went to $230 in 4 years

[@neekniggit3606]

Finally somebody figured out that if you keep your load close into your back it is so much more comfortable. I figured that out in Air Assault School years ago and thought it just wasn't comfortable for anyone else because all the new bags that kept coming out just kept getting deeper and lower and so uncomfortable. This bag right off the bat looks spot on and I am only 1:11 in to the video.

[@vancouverislandbushcraft4879]

I just bought one of these a week ago...You are right they are awsome

[@vanquestgear]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the IBEX-26. Loved your detailed overview of the upgrades & new unique features that add to the versatility of this multi-role backpack. -Alex @ Vanquest

[@pl5861]

Vanquest Gear. If you had put a dedicated Admin pouch on the front of this and the Ibex-35, or a molle strip, it would have made them Awesome packs! I can't see a way to secure one with that shock cord set up.

[@loweaguirre454]

To be honest I like the Husky pouch that I bought. But I passed on this pack ONLY because there was NO Molle on the front of the pack. Daisy and cord is not My gig. It is still a nice pack. Lowe 0331

[@meccagold2009]

This is a perfect desert/dry weathrr pack with all of these water options.

[@nwprepped]

This pack is awesome. I like the smaller bags, currently running a rush 12. This thing definitely makes me want to upgrade.

[@socialillz]

Great video. The bag looks amazing. Not overly tactical looking and the quality of the materials used just jump out the screen. The gray color way is just beautiful. I would buy this if I was looking for a bag. I just got the Vertx Gamut and I can't justify buying the Ibex-26 right now.

[@jacobschoenbeck9270]

I just ordered mine a couple days ago hopefully it gets to my house before Christmas!!

[@deionbeeldenstormer7498]

Great review for a great pack. Two critiques on the pack: I think it would benefit from a "MOLLE" panel on the front (under the shock cord), and the lower compression straps should be placed OVER the side MOLLE panels (not below them). Larger pouches (like H20 pouches and IFAKs) often need to be stabilized by running a strap over it. Other than that, home run, VANQUEST!

[@Howardsheppard]

I’ve been happy with all my Vanquest products! I have them in addition to 5.11 and Maxpedition and I prefer Vanquest.

[@oddbod6366]

Yet again you make me want to buy another pack

[@jeffwrinkle575]

Very impressive pack. Very thorough review.

[@barrybueler3356]

Love vanquest everything they make is great wanted there new bag but pricey went with the 511 rush 72 happy with it so far.

[@mykalbee]

Looked good

[@WhispyWoods.]

Yours is the first full review I've seen on this pack. Great job! I've been eyeing these up on their website. Will you ever review the ibex 36?

[@bayleyanderson9848]

Ive got plenty of great backpacks but i just don’t know what to put in them

[@anthonyrampino7734]

I really like the looks of this pack. But I would like to see an admin section so I could use it for edc too.

[@keenabad2667]

Please do an review on the bark river bravo 1.25 3v and the Vanquest markhor 45.. love your reviews

[@RJ-cb5hz]

Great vid. Have you done an EDC for motorcycle riders? Given the space limitations and discomfort of actually wearing a backpack while riding I'd be interested on your take on that minimalist style and load out.

[@ArcticGator]

How well does that laser cut molle hold up? this looks like just the kind of pack i have been looking for, and do the big side pockets have drain holes?

[@GRRanza]

Hi Any chance you could do a video comparing the Vanquest Ibex 26 with the Osprey Talon Pro 30 all the pros and cons? Day hiking use mainly. Cheers!

[@georgeseriani2482]

They are about $210.00 now. I wish they had the hi viz interior I think it needs it.

[@Multigraindad]

Is the internal frame removable like on the ibex 35?

[@stevendavis8785]

Great video and I purchased based upon the video. I am returning the pack because the pack has a terrible fit. I'm 6'1'', 210 lbs with an 18 inch torso. The structure of the pack has no curvature at all and with the lack of adjustable harness it has a poor fit. Very disappointed.

[@freddobbs9435]

GID> great video, great pack, but please plant that big beautiful back yard.....l live in littleton and just re did my yard...

[@GRRanza]

Hi from the UK - please can you tell me does the belt go more around the stomach area? I am 6 ft 1.5 and tried on an Osprey Talon 26 at a local store, found it was way too high on the belt. The Talon 33 was way better hip wise . I don't have a local Vanquest dealer unfortunately. Need to replace my Vanquest Trident 20 with something a little bigger.

[@noblewolf7175]

Hey Gideon I'm a new subscriber and I am looking at getting the Vanquest IBEX-26 Day pack. Will it work for me at 6ft tall 175 lbs 21 inch torso? Thanks

[@IonControl]

I have a 26, hot routing the hydration bladder hose has me a bit perplexed. Around 5:30, you sound like you’re about to give an alternate route for the hose, but never go there (edit: you pick it back up around 7:45, but it sounds like it’s still only coming out through the pockets). I’m really not a huge fan of the hose coming out of the pocket since rain can get in. Is there no port elsewhere to provide a better routing option?

[@greenninja5150]

Sorry this has nothing to do with this video but what, exactly, does Outdoor Research call the jacket you were wearing in your best fixed blades of 2017 video? I can't find it on their website and want to get one. Love your vids by the way, Thank you.

[@gideonstactical]

greenninja ya it is an awesome jacket. Ferrosi hoody

[@HyliAir]

Looks like a clone of the Arcteryx Leaf Assault 30

[@marcinmielczarek2m]

what is that first fixed blade you pulled out of the bag please? TC :)

[@WhispyWoods.]

BK7. Kabar Becker BK7. He said it and even has a link for it. Great knife. Great company b

you need more fixed blades.....MORE!!!

are these videos alll Colorado?

gideonstactical Yeah Colorado is an amazing state

[@sski1971]

Is there a built in dedicated admin pouch?

[@gideonstactical]

Boweimer 1 no, all are dump pouches

[@pl5861]

@@gideonstactical A dedicated Admin pouch on the front would have made this an awesome bag. Too bad they didn't think of that.

Yes

1:45 damn dude...mow your grass

[@onionhead5780]

K Nelson maybe he could do a demo video on a mower. 😂

[@ryc3rz]

Scythe review coming soon :)

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Looks like a nice pack. But for pack that is under 30L and weighs 3lbs and costs more then $150 is just not worth it. I do like the side hanging water bladder pockets. If your into overbuilt day packs, then it looks like a good option. Thanks for the review man.

[@MONKEYDUDEELITE]

Sure looks a lot like the Vertx Gamut 🤔

[@gideonstactical]

TacticalTrojan haha not event close in layout and performance

[@gideonstactical]

TacticalTrojan I would not hike with the vertx, and I would not edc the vanquest

[@MONKEYDUDEELITE]

gideonstactical very fair!!! Sweet review. But I love my Vertx Gamut (inspired by your review of it 👍🏽)

[@Computerlegacy]

why did they raise the price its so expensive now im not even considering it now

[@calebklyne6406]

I'd love to see a side by side review of the this and the khard 30 as this pack is a direct rip off of it...

[@WhispyWoods.]

caleb klyne nah the previous ibex 30 was a direct ripoff. This one has some changes to make it more different. Really other than the main zipper track and style of opening what else is the same as the arc'teryx? Also, I'm genuinely interested to know what makes the arc'teryx $500. Not busting balls, but truly curious.

[@calebklyne6406]

Whispy Woods if you take off the Molle and velcro the design is almost identical. The owner of vanquest has come straight out and said they copy designs and "improve" upon them. I don't doubt that it is a useful pack but it's sad to see a company go through years of development just to have it ripped off. I think more disappointing to me is how quickly quality reviewers endorse companies that steal designs.

[@WhispyWoods.]

caleb klyne I can see the similarity, but did arc'teryx patent the way their pack opens? It would be a pretty broad generalization if nobody else could have a U shaped zipper opening.

[@calebklyne6406]

Whispy Woods the opening isn't so much the issue, the two packs side by side are identical in shape not to mention the layout is almost identical as well, the only real difference is the Molle and velcro. I'm not saying everyone needs to rush out and buy an arcteryx as they are in my opinion overpriced. But vanquest has made a living off of stealing designs and passing them off as thier own.

[@WhispyWoods.]

caleb klyne the old ibex? Nearly identical. This new one though has a lot more pockets especially in the lid and the overall profile to my eyes is way different. No confusion with this new version. The old version on the other hand.....

Hi Aaron, been a subscriber for a few years now and just wondered on God’s take on a so called pastor carrying a hand gun? What does this say about a pastors faith in his god? And what is even more worrying is, why does no other American brothers or sisters question this? Why does a so called man of God feel the need to carry a gun? Regards, Dazza.

[@tnh723]

being a man of God has nothing to do with carrying a firearm. faith without works is meaningless. you seemed so triggered about it. its your zealotry that should be called into question. its both comical and troubling at the same time

[@MrDazza64]

@@tnh723 - What does the bible say about bearing arms and taking another persons life? I know what your Second Amendment states, but as far as I know, an American didn’t write the bible…although many of you probably think you did!

[@hoguemusic9706]

@@MrDazza64 The bible talks about self-defense several times. Apparently, you've never read it, otherwise you should know the answer. If an armed criminal broke into your house, would you just let him shoot you and your family up for the sake of being a pacifist? If you were stuck in the midst of a school shooting and you had the chance to save kid's lives, you would just say, "oh well, guess it was God's will" and walk away?

[@MrDazza64]

@@hoguemusic9706 You seem to presume I haven’t read the bible? You must be an expert in biblical texts, so could you point me out the passage or passages that state that Pastoral men of god should take up arms and take lives for thy god? You also presume I’m a pacifist? Something you would absolutely not believe for long, had you ever met me or tried to break into my property! And please don’t presume I would stand by and watch any child being harmed in any way! On the subject of mass school shootings, well….isn’t it a little strange or coincidental that these horrific crimes happen multiple times, year on year in a country who’s constitutional right is to bare arms, yet extremely rare where it is illegal to even own, let alone carry such weapons?
