TRIDENT-32 (Gen-3) Backpack (EDC/Bug Out)

Vanquest TRIDENT-32 backpack is the big brother of our very popular TRIDENT-21™ backpack in a larger, more versatile form. You wear it like a backpack, with the option of quick access from the side, just like a sling pack. The TRIDENT-32 (Gen-3) Backpack from Vanquest is the ultimate EDC/Bug Out bag for any adventure.

The new TRIDENT-32 is 32 litres in total capacity (11 litres larger than the TRIDENT-21), with improved ergonomic shoulder straps, a breathable back panel and a removable pull-forward adjustable padded waist belt. Updated collapsible side bottle pocket ready to carry your drink container or tripod with included elastic tie-down. You can now comfortably carry more gear and heavier loads.

The padded main compartment is lined with a quilted loop and four configurable dividers providing extra protection and organisation for your EDC (every day carry) items, photography gear, or range gear. A dedicated laptop sleeve holds a 17″ laptop (MacBook Pro / Air). You can access the interior from the top or left side, and like a sling pack, you can quickly get to your gear by swinging the backpack to your front and retaining it with a side gear handle. Total 45 pockets and slots to organise your gear.

High-visibility 210-D ripstop nylon interior helps you find things in low-light conditions. A dual hydration system (hydration/CCW compartment, and main compartment) lets you carry up to 6 litres of water at once. The hydration hose can be anchored to the left or right shoulder strap.

Low profile Laser-cut Hypalon and Loop faced MOLLE-Air structure is MOLLE-compatible and offers ID patch real estate. Interior loop fields for CCW and internal organisation.

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. Using ITW/Duraflex hardware, and lockable YKK® zippers, the TRIDENT is a compact day pack ready to handle any tough situations.
