VertxEveryday Fanny Pack, 2L Tactical Crossbody, Concealed Carry Bag, CCW, EDC, Travel, Work, Lena Miculek Collection

This pack is great & exactly what I was hoping it would be; larger than the Lulu lemon pack my wife carries, but not so large that she would complain about it. It fits that role PERFECTLY.My wife was carrying a Lulu Lemon fanny pack & I was annoyed (she didnt care LOL) at how it needs to be just a hair larger in all directions; all her stuff felt so crammed in there, and she had zero room for any growth / expansion / extra stuff that sometimes comes up.I’ve also been begging / pleading / cajoling / nagging her to carry a pistol for self-defense, so this pack at least gives her that option + is a step in that direction, which makes me over the moon happy obviously.My wife is EXTREMELY finicky & stubborn about flat refusing to carry anything remotely tactical / EDC / etc.; again, despite my begs, pleas & commands. (Help me out here, men!)So I was very much preparing myself to return this bag.But…. We have a winner…! She likes it!!!! She was very pleased to discover that she can even fit her iPad mini in there too, AND all her other typical stuff; girl stuff, keys, phone, etc.I’m no longer annoyed that her bag seems so over-stuffed, and it STILL has room for more stuff! You know how it is; you have your pack / bag loaded with whatever typical stuff you have, but then you have a need to pop more stuff in there; whether to empty your pockets, hold stuff for kids, hold something you bought shopping; whatever. This bag carries all her normal, day-to-day stuff, and has plenty of spare room.Typical VERTX quality, which is superior, of course, it looks similar to (in a positive way) to that Lulu lemon that EVERYONE seems to have today. Esp. For women, this is a huge positive attribute,Because the whole point is to blend in, NOT stand out, be low-key; the Grey Woman, as it were.We DON’T want people noticing this pack…until it’s too late….for them….Also, please do not misunderstand me; The Lulu Lemon pack, BTW, is a beautiful pack. Very high quality, impressive materials, solid construction; really top-notch, actually.It’s just TINY. For some situations, obviously it would be perfect, but there’s pretty much zero ability to conceal carry with that thing. It’s not intended for that, of course, but still….If Lulu made that exact fanny pack but a few inches larger in every direction + with some Velcro panels; I’d buy one! LOL.Anyway, this VERTX fanny pack is a big winner with my extremely anti-EDC, anti-tactical wife. She doesn’t hate guns / knives / gear; she just refuses to dress / wear anything tactical at all…I’m considering buying one of these for when I want a pack smaller & less conspicuous than the larger VERTX SOCP - which I love, but man… it’s BEEFY…..Well done, VERTX.

Zipper is great, it can fit a Springfield Hellcat Pro with holosun sights and Viridian laser/holster it is a tight fight though. The velcrow backing is awesome.The material does not draw attention and it doesn’t stand out when worn on body. The pricing is fair. If you use a bigger pew pew than the hellcat Pro it probably wont fit. Material looks cheap but isn’t it’s very soft and seems durable. Material is thick.In the bag there is a red rope I added a rip cord anchor which makes the Ease of access great. close to a 2 second draw.All in all great little bag and the buckle is fine, it’s slim doesn’t cut into my waist and won’t pop open getting in and out of cars. (I use it as a waist bag)

I was concerned about bulkiness and how much it could hold but it’s perfect. Doesn’t come with a holder so I pulled a holder from another conceal carry purse. I even used it to travel through Europe and it was perfect! The zipper on the back was just the right size for my passport and keeping it safe.

I absolutely love this bag. I looked for weeks at different bags and this one seems to be the best in my opinion. It’s slim and holds just what I need. Fits my pew pew nicely with an extra mag. Ykk zippers makes confident the bag should hold up for years come. Some reviews said the buckle was bad and I through this would be something I would need to replace. I have no complaints. I was surprised to see it was duraflex brand which is a great brand. Only thing I changed on my bag was. I took the main compartment zippers off. Added one loop of 550 cord and a rubber washer. This is way better than how it came. Also I just have the one zipper on it so you don’t end up grabbing both when you draw. I like that it has two zippers because if one breaks the bag isn’t useless but having just one cord is way better. I would recommend they change the plastic tabs for something rubber. That red pull tab you can buy separately is so dumb. Not discrete at all. Especially a girl carrying it. Just isn’t fashionable and doesn’t blend into the other sling bags on the market. Thus making it stand out as suspicious. Love the bag! It’s allowed me to carry everyday with such easy and comfort.UPDATE:I removed the buckle it came with because multiple times I released the buckle by accident. Masking the bag fall off my person. This was a security risk for me so I replaced the buckle with a G hook. 1.5”. This was much more secure. Not only did I release it myself but I was concerned it would be extremely easy for someone to come behind me and remove the bag from my person. Definitely would recommend vertex replacing the buckle with something like this or just a better buckle. The current buckle just makes what is otherwise a great bag not acceptable for the application it was designed for.I also removed the vertex logo on the back. I through it was ugly and made the bag stand out from other Fanny packs. It just is another thing to make people question your bag. I want it to me as unremarkable as possible. I like the subtle logo on the front a lot. The one on the back is just too large and recognizable if the bag was off your person. I replaced it was stick on canvas. I would prefer the rubber grip that the logo had but without the logo. Just a rectangle the entire length of the bag would be so much better.In total I spend about $20 in upgrades which is kinda dumb but the bag actually works for me now. It would be a no brainer if it just was great out of the box. I’ve looked at replacing it because I would like something more factory a clean looking but still haven’t found anything that rivals the size and look of the bag. As well as the great pocket layout. Overall would recommend.

Love this pack, functional at its finest.

It's limited in size just barely big enough for a g19 I got no ass and every time I try to move or sit down it unbuckles or slides down my hips if you got something there to hold it up it probably would be great so I use it as a shoulder bag under my jacket FYI it looks good on my hero Lena lol
