VANQUEST MARKHOR 45 Backpack

VANQUEST MARKHOR 45 Backpack
www.vanquest.c...
MARKHOR-45 Key Features: (1) 45-Liter capacity; (2) Ergonomic suspension system: removable internal frame, padded waist belt and adjustable height shoulder straps; (3) 1000-D bottom and 500-D body CORDURA construction for the best weight to strength balance; (4) Versatile beaver tail panel with rifle/bow support (5) Dual side water bottle pockets plus MOLLE-Air faced internal Hydration pocket.
The 2018 MARKHOR-45 (45 liters) is our largest and our most advanced pack for hiking, camping, and hunting. Its double-sided beavertail panel & DAM (Durable Arms Management) system can be used for external gear carry. A continuous & lockable YKK #10 zipper opening comes with extra-large ITW zipper pulls, offering you easy “clamshell” access to the main compartment. The new suspension system is specifically designed for you to comfortably carry heavy loads.
Two 3-D top pockets can carry one of our Maximizer organizers, with a zipper pass-through giving you quick access to the main compartment. Another larger zippered pocket on the bottom can carry camp shoes, rain gear, or extra clothes.
Then there’s MARKHOR’s unique beavertail with DAM (Durable Arms Management) design. The beavertail is double-sided, reversible, and removable, offering gear storage, attachment, and compression.
The front of the beavertail is the “Sport” side: elastic cord routed through 1” vertical webbing with a Hypalon “Duck Foot” at the bottom to secure an extra layer (e.g. jacket). Two ELASTO Gear Locks on 1” webbing for holding tripods, axe handles and trekking poles when used with the adjustable tool loops. The reversed side of the beavertail is the “Tactical” side: Cordura MOLLE-Air panel with a loop ID panel for you to attach more accessories. Above the MOLLE-Air panel is a slim pocket for maps.
The beavertail, 2-rows of vertical webbing, and the two 1” removable retention straps make up the DAM (Durable Arms Management) system. This allows you to secure and carry most firearms and archery equipment without a strap or sling.
Four side compression straps move the weight closer to you. There are Hypalon MOLLE-Air side panels providing low-profile MOLLE attachment solutions, plus two bottle pockets with elastic cord retentions.
The main compartment of the MARKHOR is lined with orange high-viz 210-D ripstop nylon for low-light environments. There is a hydration / laptop sleeve with a loop-faced MOLLE-Air panel to attach organizational pouches via MOLLE or hook-and-loop. The sides are lined with loop panels, allowing for further modularity and customization. Two ToughMesh pockets line the front panel for additional gear storage.
The upgraded suspension system lets you carry heavy loads with comfort: Shoulder harness with 5 adjustable positions for different torso length and proper fit. Ergonomically molded PC (polycarbonate) internal frame with “virtual stays” curves and flexes with your body. Top load-adjusters help to bring the backpack forward to keep proper center of gravity. EVA foam shoulder straps, breathable mesh back, and an elastic sternum strap. Finally, a removable “pull-forward” padded waist belt that’s fast and easy to tighten, and keeps most of the weight off your shoulders. On the outside of the waist belt is webbing attachments for flashlights, knives or small pouches.
For the best balance of weight and strength, we use ultra-durable 1000-D Cordura® nylon at high-wear areas (bottom panels), and 500-D Cordura® for the rest of the bag. Our Cordura® is treated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) for all-weather performance, and will be ready every time you need it.

Is a amazing backpack... i am testing my here in Chile. Southamerica and it work great. Gretting from Chile

[@Cr0cket20]

Looks pretty sweet. I love vanquest stuff they put a lot of thought and quality into their products. Really like their philosophy on the high vis snaps and inside of the bag. I can see where the gun would get in the way when you wanted to sit while taking a break from hiking. But I deal with that currently with my bow and work around it.

Getting close to the time to go deer hunting Steve. Btw did you see the bobcat at the end of the video?

[@73FORGE]

Wingman115 yes let’s get together next week to check our calendars! That cat was staring you down! Had one in my customers backyard in 4S

[@PHARRAOH]

I want some of that "beaver tail action"

[@bobwampler3387]

That’s a pretty stellar large pack. John, how much weight have you rucked in this pack?

[@Wingman115]

Last time I hiked I really loaded it out. Total pack weight was close to 37 pounds. It handled the load really well. The waist belt really helps even out the load and take the stain of the shoulders. You just have to adjust the shoulder straps to fit your body.

[@bobwampler3387]

Wingman115 Thanks!

[@jaimeleondelaparra3877]

Thanks for the video. How are you attaching your medical kit? Is it the MOLLE sticks or MOHL air ?

[@Wingman115]

Sticks they secure well and work great if you have to release them fast.

Waterproof can you make it

[@paulprice814]

Hey great video, I went and bought the ONTARIO MARINE RAIDER BOWIE because of your past review about the bowie and took it in the backyard for some heavy chopping and chipped the blade from the tip to about an inch down the blade !!! They are using a 1080 carbon steel now instead of 1095 carbon steel.I don't know if it is the steel or a bad grind? What do you guys think?

[@Wingman115]

You must have me confused with someone else I never review the knife

[@neddmoulton1]

I love it!

Thank you.

Wow I fell asleep 23 times during this video. I’m sure it is a good backpack but come on
