Vanguard is a US-based company specializing in manufacturing camera tripods, backpacks, optical equipment such as binoculars, specialized scopes, and various other photography accessories. In Vietnam, this brand gained recognition relatively late compared to many others...Some models of backpacks and shoulder camera bags introduced in this review are manufactured at their factory in Myanmar. Vanguard backpacks/bags currently have a wide range of options, with up to 50 different models available in the market, varying in both design and features. They have a comprehensive manufacturing process from the initial design concept to the final product. They emphasize having such autonomy in their operations to ensure quality control, having their own manufacturing facilities without outsourcing to third-party factories, including design, software development, or idea generation. There are no intermediaries involved in any stage, focusing on ensuring consistent quality, reducing intermediary costs, building trust for users, and offering competitive prices.
Dislikes:I still dislike the way they store the raincoat pouch separately or in its own compartment. Maybe due to personal experience, minimizing its presence during regular use by spreading it under a flap, as commonly seen, could be more practical. Retrieving or storing it would be quicker and less likely to be lost due to its infrequent use. The color schemes of Vanguard backpacks/bags, especially the compact sling bags, lack trendy or youthful colors, mostly opting for neutral tones. They excel in quality, functionality, and design concepts, but occasionally lack lively color combinations. I still prefer a small shoulder bag with vibrant color coordination.Advantages:- Origin of authentic product manufacturers
- Quality of fabric, stitching, and zipper
- Appearance resembling a travel pouch, suitable for daily use
- Pricing in Vietnam, cheaper than in other markets
