Vertx

Fits everything I need it for, have already used Vertx bags and am a fan. I appreciate the CCW pocket.

First time with an EDC fanny pack - Fits my G19 perfectly, including a holster. I like that it comes with a built-in Velcro hold. I have a lot of pockets to store everything I need. I recommend.

I just wish it were a LITTLE bit bigger, or was a little elastic to allow for a little over-filling. The width and height are pretty spot on, it's the depth that I'm talking about. The cellphone pouch is gimmicky, but works. Again, I wish it were elastic in key places to allow for more space. Also, if Vertx reads these things- ditch the clear stuff and camera flaps (or put that feature on another bag line), and just make it a phone/storage pouch. It's a cool idea, but in practice, not so hot.

So I ordered this bag twice as I had second thoughts. For what I want, it is just too big and too busy. The phone pocket, Vertx, just drop it from future models. No one is secret squirrel filming anybody unless your trying to catch a felony. For reference, my iPhone 14 pro max in rather thin case was a struggle to get in the secret squirrel phone pocket. It would fit in the main part of the phone pocket area. After I ripped open the Velcro. Just put a zipper on this area and call it great. The firearms section is about perfect. You get a decent retention system that will hold a firearm secure. Unlike that strip of Velcro that Eberlerstock offers with theirs. Seriously Estock just don't put anything in the Bando if that's all you can do. Vertex- why the removable organizer thingy in the firearms section? The idea of concealed is not showing your piece to the world. Why put that decent organizer in with the firearm? Seriously, Vertex, you have a great platform here. Loose that phone pouch or at least make it creeper proof and put a plain old plain guy zipper on it. If somebody would take the plan jane look of the Eberlestock Bando and mix it with the feature set of the Vertex SOCP. Now that would be a fine concealed fanny pack. For the record I sent both sizes of the Bando back along with the SOCP.

After a 7 month test. I must say, I love this fanny pack! It started off in my rotation for edc and especially when I have to off body carry (I carry a Hellcat pro with a red dot). To it now being my primary edc bag, due to its size, quality, and organization. I carry this bag across the chest while driving, and swing it across my back (as a sling) while walking around. The only issue I have with this bag, which is why I only gave it 4 starts, is the straps slip sometimes. I have to adjust the length constantly. However, I’ll highly recommend!
