Product Overview

The TRIDENT-32 is the large-format version of Vanquest's TRIDENT series — a line recognized for combining the carrying comfort of a traditional backpack with the quick-access swing-forward side access of a sling pack. At 32 liters, the TRIDENT-32 offers significantly more volume than the TRIDENT-21, making it the right choice for multi-day carry, extended medical or tactical deployments, or use cases requiring both primary kit and administrative load in a single pack.

The Gen-3 suspension system represents a meaningful improvement in carry comfort for loaded configurations: the vented back panel and internal frame promote airflow and structural support during extended carry, while the improved ergonomic shoulder straps and removable padded waist belt distribute load across the hips for heavier configurations. The waist belt pulls forward for standard wear and removes entirely when the pack is worn on a plate carrier or vest.

Low-profile MOLLE-Air panels replace the woven MOLLE of earlier Vanquest designs with a laser-cut Hypalon and loop-faced panel system that maintains full MOLLE compatibility at a reduced bulk profile — important for operators who carry the pack in vehicle and helicopter environments where pack width matters. User-configurable padded dividers allow the main compartment to be organized for photography, medical, electronics, or tactical gear without tool-dependent modification.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the Vanquest TRIDENT-32 and TRIDENT-21?

The TRIDENT-32 is 11 liters larger than the TRIDENT-21 at 32 liters total capacity, making it the large-format version of the series. Both share the hybrid backpack/sling-access carry design, but the TRIDENT-32 adds a padded waist belt, vented back panel with internal frame, and the Gen-3 MOLLE-Air panel system — features that support the additional weight capacity of the larger format.

What are the Gen-3 improvements on the TRIDENT-32?

Gen-3 improvements include: (1) redesigned low-profile Loop-faced/Hypalon MOLLE-Air panels replacing traditional woven MOLLE, (2) user-configurable updated padded dividers for greater internal flexibility, (3) improved ergonomic suspension with new shoulder straps and vented back panel with internal frame, and (4) redesigned collapsible side bottle/tripod pocket that collapses flat when not in use.

How does the side sling-pack access work on the TRIDENT-32?

Like all TRIDENT series packs, the TRIDENT-32 is worn as a standard backpack but features side zipper access that allows the main compartment to be opened from the side — mimicking the quick swing-forward access of a sling pack while maintaining the load distribution comfort of dual shoulder straps. This design is particularly useful when the pack remains on the back during active operations.

Is the waist belt on the TRIDENT-32 removable?

Yes. The padded waist belt is removable and features a pull-forward adjustment design. It can be removed when the pack is worn with body armor or on a plate carrier, and reattached for comfort carry with heavy loads where hip weight transfer is beneficial.

What colors is the Vanquest TRIDENT-32 available in?

The TRIDENT-32 Gen-3 is available in Coyote Tan and Wolf Gray. Both variants include the same 32-liter capacity, Gen-3 suspension improvements, MOLLE-Air panels, user-configurable dividers, and collapsible side pocket.
