Cross-body sling bags for secure and compact carry.

Cross-body sling bags are very popular these days. Why? Because we are using them as an extension of our pockets. Sling bags give you quick access and let you neatly pack and secure your important items like keys, phones, electronics, and EDC tools. For example, our popular DENDRITE-Large sling bag keeps your items accessible, whether you're riding a bike or running errands around town.

Offering weatherproof support for gaming and tech devices, the TEKKO-4 and TEKKO-6 sling bags adapt to your busy lifestyle with flexible carry options in a compact daily sling. A quick-adjust strap conforms to your body for easy, all-day comfortable carry.

Your slim and sleek minimalists’ option when you don’t need a full backpack or carry bag is the VERT-5 tech sling. Worn vertically on your chest or back with secure easy access to your personal tech and essentials. While the VERT-7 sling supports your tablets plus your simple EDC items in a slightly larger overall footprint.

Inside these sling bags, we make sure to add loop lining to accept a wide range of hook & loop accessories for additional organization, plus outside loop panel to display your moral patches and add your personal style.

Everyday-size backpacks for your minimalist carry.

Having a comfortable backpack keeps your options open. More room and a second stabilizing strap means more flexibility with your everyday gear, and it can potentially help you stay even more organized.

The ADDAX-18 / ADDAX-25 backpack has a low-profile look and is perfect for everyday carry. Offering a stylish blend of functionality and durability in our urban series with easy access to switch out items as quickly as needed and dedicated back compartment laptop / tablet support. Another great compact option is the KATARA-16 sling backpack. It is made of super-durable Cordura fabric and is the perfect size for your daily supplies. The KATARA can also be used as a backpack or a sling to give you more carry options.

Both the ADDAX & KATARA backpacks’ compartments are loop-lined for custom build outs with hook & loop accessories and are CCW-compatible.

Organizer pouches for your small daily supplies & essentials.

PPM-HUGE organizer pouch, durable gear storage

Organizer pouches are extensions of the packs that offer you a minimalist system to stay prepared. Storing small items together in an organizer makes things easy to find. Modular organization is creating your own kits for everyday carry (EDC), travel, or first aid, and moving them between your bags as needed. Or combine them all into a single ultimate bare bones kit.

A general-purpose organizer pouch can be your best friend. Our most popular organizers & pouches are the EDCM / PPM / & FTIM Organizers. PPM & EDCM organizers are “bi-folding” design, like a book. FTIM series organizers are “clamshell open / pull-down” design, like a drawbridge. All these organizer pouches are great for your tool kits, gear organization, and kitting together items for your minimal carry needs.

Our medical & first aid pouches like the personal sized FATPack 4x6 trauma pack help you create first aid kits that keep you prepared for medical emergencies, large or small, giving you fast access to life-saving supplies when seconds matter.

And don’t forget your wallet before going out.

RFID blocking CACHE and VAULT got you covered

Do you remember the last time you left the house without your wallet and had to turn around to grab it? That’s right, a wallet is another important everyday item that can be minimized and optimized. The POCKET QUIVER 3x4 manages your everyday carry (EDC) pen, small knife, compact flashlight, and more in a convenient minimalist pocket organizer, with space for several cards, making it a hybrid wallet organizer.

Many of our credit cards and ID cards have RFID chips for contactless pay, so we need to safeguard them against digital theft. Low-profile RFID-blocking wallets & ID holders that don’t take up much space in your pocket are the way to go.

Did you know Vanquest was one of the first everyday-carry gear companies to make RFID-blocking wallets over 10 years ago? At expos and shows, we are always proud to see your VAULT and CACHE RFID-blocking security wallets still going strong after all these years.
