We were lucky enough to get our hands on one of the first Markor-45 packs. This is a full size pack from Vanquest with a ton of options for customizing it to the users body type and pack needs.
Coming in at 6 pounds on the nose this pack isn’t as heavy as it would look thanks in part to using 500 D Cordura in lower wear areas and 1,000 D in areas that are more prone to wear. It also has a removable high strength poly carbonate frame as well.
There are a ton of features to go over with this pack and you can find the full review on the 13C YouTube Channel as well as on Full 30 .
