VertxLast Call Pack

This is my favorite bag so far. I had actually recently purchased a 5.11 bag and then saw this one from Vertx in store. I liked the bag but not the color, and then saw the blue online. I gave my husband the bag I had just bought and have carried this one ever since. My backpack organizer fits perfectly inside, and my Crossbreed pack fits in the other compartment. I love that it has the separate cushioned, zippered compartment in the back for carrying. I don't even use this bag to its full potential because there is so much you can do with the front compartment as well. The only thing I wish this had that my other bag did was the quick release snaps for the shoulder straps. I prefer to wear my backpacks higher so it can be awkward to get your arm out of the one strap if you're using both of them.

An outstanding and versatile pack. Well made and perfect for EDC or as a day pack for a hike.

I got the white camo version, it looks cool and I've had great experience with other Vertyx gear I own.After two months of extensive use I have an overall positive outlook but there is a major drawback. I think you should think about how you will use the pack if you buy it. I took it on an international trip, hiking around cities for a month, wearing it with a light load several hours a day and it was awesome. But I had two side trips in which I needed to pack a heavier bag and wear it for more extended time and I don't think its designed for that. The straps made my shoulders fatigue a lot faster than I'm used to and they got sore and made me miserable. I think there is a design flaw there or maybe its an intentional design and the pack is just for light loads and short term use.At any rate, I also used the pack as my carry on in all the planes and for that it is a champ. So overall I really like this bag, I just know that it is for casual use and not actually carrying a serious load.

Awesome pack. I have shopped for years without finding something stylish, covert, and tactical. I love the shield quality. I love the covert nature, I can fit an 11x14 ballistic panel in the bag, I love the slightly more stylish look. I live in seattle and hiking bags dont fit in in office culture very well. This is a little more fashionable - but I wish the main compartment had a little more organization. I also wish that the top panel had more organization, and I wish that the bottle sleeves were a little larger, since they wont fit a nalgene. One other comment- if you update this bag, leather straps, grab handles and accessories would be AWESOME- that would take this black bag from good to great in terms of fashion. Strong fabric, well padded straps.

The pack is excellent quality. My first aid kit fits nicely into the Molle compartment with room to spare. Only downside is that there isn't a lot of organisational pockets.
