There are four packs in the Mavrik line at the time of this video being made.
The B.35, the U.45, U.35 and the S.08

The S.08 is an ambidextrous sling pack featuring the Mavrik System. A concealed carry compartment is built into the back panel with zippers on both sides allowing the bag to be drawn from across the chest. The main compartment has a tablet sleeve sewn in the backside with the Mavrik System lining the front. Adding our Mavrik pouches to the main compartment makes it ideal for a camera kit, first aid kit, range bag, or grab-and-go bag. The secondary compartment has an organizer pocket for pens, cards, keys, and more. Elastic loops for gear and additional magazines are also easily accessed in the front organizer pocket. We've used 420 Denier Dynatec nylon, 840 Denier Ballistic nylon, YKK zippers, and Duraflex buckles to create an extremely light and durable sling pack. The walls of all Mavrik packs have padding between nylon and lining to protect contents. The S.08 is ideal for a discreet sling pack.

VANQUEST HUSKY EDC Maximizer Organizer - Preview

Today we are taking a look at the VANQUEST HUSKY EDC Maximizer Organizer.
Thank you for watching.

….

http://www.vanquest.com/products/edcm-husky-edc-maximizer-organizer.html

$26.00

Offered in three colors : Black, Coyote, and Gray.

Weight : We will throw this on the scale once we unload the pack to make sure.

I have been using this Organizer for a while now for many different purposes including ddc and backpacking and I have some footage of both.  The first is with a backpacking trip that I did recently.

The next is with a family vacation that I recently took and used this as an EDC pouch.

In the future I would like to see a backpacker version of this pouch.  For Vanquest this could be a big seller.  A similar pouch but one that is light weight.  Backpackers are always looking to save weight and to find ways to organize their gear.

I really like this for these reasons;

Reversed zipper
Use with MOHL Adapters/MOLLE Sticks for PALS/MOLLE Webbing

VANQUEST offers a number of different variations of the Organizer so if you are interested in this one, there is a link in the description box below for you.

You may be thinking that this looks similar to a product turned out by
Maxpedition and you would be right and there is a reason for this.  Two of the the fine folks at VANQUEST were part of the original founding team of Maxpedition since 2003.

While the organizers look similar there are some real world difference between the two and it boils down to strength.  The Husky Organizer uses 1000d Cordura where the Maxpedition uses a much weaker nylon fabric.

Cordua is also made in the USA and the nylon from Maxpditions is not.

Ultimately there are a lot of differences between the two that I encourage you to take a look at.  We could go on for ours about this but in the end it boils down to this;

A strong, more durable and reliable product.

It’s not to say that Maxpedition is bad, that’s not the case at all but there are differences between quality levels.

#8 YKK zippers (non-lockale) with circular paracord pulls for security and easy opening. 1,000-D CORDURA® with TEFLON
