Great overview of the Javelin 18. I am a HUGE fan of Vanquest products and have the new Javelin 18 as well. I agree with you about the Velcro pocket, I would rather have a zippered one. My other gripe (a minor one) is that inside the top zippered compartment, the inner zippered mesh compartment is not gusseted bottom like the main compartment zippered pockets on the flaps. I have been using the Katara 16 from Vanquest and love the fact that the mesh pockets can expand out a bit with the gusseting. Like I said it is a small gripe, but it seams to me like they overlooked this one pouch since most of their other products have that. Thanks for the review.
The top pouch zippered is not gusseted because that would interfere with the outside pass through This pouch fit the sol emergency kit perfectly feel free to see my video on it might help u love it The admin section has velcro on the document pouch for quick access for check points
We are waiting for the full open! Now you are to do the same for the trident and i will buy again!! If you add the external water compartment of the trident in the both sides .. it will be the best backpack!!

That’s true about the gusset. You get so used to it with Vanquest, when you don’t get it, it stands out

@@54yk3r current Javelin does exactly this!
@@vanquestgearsorry , i meant what you put the extended compartment of the trident in both sides. I think that its better than hypalon only...
I always wonder where you get the handle covers
