Most interesting review so far. I was riveted to the compartments and to the extras you added for your wallet and first aide supplies. The rotating buckle is something I haven’t seen before. I enjoy the custom touches you take the time to add. I don’t own anything as organized as that bag. Very interesting.
Nicely done. I am reviewing sling bags for a trauma/first aid bag I am putting together. I've reviewed a lot of sling bag videos and yours might be in the top 2 or 3. This particular bag is a bit pricey for a med bag. But I appreciate that you took time to show all the organization capabilities of this bag. Many review vids don't. Also like that you pointed out a few little add-on's you made (such as the adjustable velcro holster by Vanquest) that you put into the conceal carry pouch. Even though this is probably not the bag for me, your video is informative and concise. Best wishes.
Hey Bob.Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. Vertx and several other brands I like can be pricey but I'd also suggest looking for them used...I got the Vertx used. I do plan on reviewing a 511 sling as well as a Vanquest bag, I just try to space them out. Thanks for your comment, it helps me improve. I'd be interested in hearing what bag you end up going with. I hope you have a great week.
nice! i've got one of these too and it's a well planned out design. However the velcro could be better, it seems to "wear out" becomes less velcro-ee after some time.
It seems you have a smaller compartment between the second release button and your naked clip. I believe you can open up the "seat belt" section of your strap. It looks that way.
I think carrying a gun in a bag is a last resort. Part of the reason I’ve been looking into sling packs is so I can have my bag out of the way of my draw (from 4:00 on my belt). Looks like a good bag, though. I’m rocking a $30 Fieldline wal mart special right now. Figured I’d give that a try and see what I liked and disliked before I dropped serious coin on a higher quality one.
@jamesr792. I think few could argue that drawing is faster from IWB. I keep coming back to this bag after testing others. I agree, more of a last resort as a carry method. It's an alternative so at least people can still carry. Let me know how that Fieldline works out. I think all too often people associate the cost of a product with it's functionality. More often than not I've found cheaper items to be just as good. Thank you for the feedback.
What about for a ar pistol? 2:36 is there a bag that has something like this that the slit that leads to the trigger with the gun being inside the bag and not a a slit to a small compartment?
@Robert Underdunk Terwilliger. I have used it with my G19 with an olight before and had no issue drawing from the bag. The vanquest sticky holster is adjustable and universal. A lot depends on your CC and holster but I don't think you'd have a problem. Thanks for watching.
@Eye of Sauron. I cycle through a lot of bags but I always come back to the Vertx for EDC. I've had it for years now and I take it with me every time I leave the house. I believe they have an updated version of it now. I've never heard of Viktos but the bag seems like it would be a good option too. I think the Vertx offers a faster draw and more storage but the Viktos has more organized compartments and looks more low-vis in my opinion. I hope that helps.
@Toe Jam, I get what you mean. Generally speaking though, most people don't people watch to tell if someone is carrying a gun. Situation dictates though. I'm always on the lookout for another bag to try. Thanks for watching.
Nice, but price and still a little to big they have the right idea though im not a pocket guy I just want a small bag for EDC, not a bug out bag , but it dose have the zippers in the right place on the side just my thoughts
@Vince brandt. This is the smaller version (about 13 liters). They make another version that's larger and too big for EDC imo. I see where you're coming from. There are some less expensive options out there that I plan to try out. Personally, I think 10 liters would be the smallest I'd go. Thanks for your input.
I've tried a bunch of slings and this one is still my go-to. Mainly because of how easy it is to access a ccw. Any recommendations for a different one?
Great video BTW. Inwish I could recommend a bag. I keep buying them but usually go back to my Maxpediton WOLFSPUR™ CROSSBODY. My newest purchase is a simple Vanquest DENDRITE-LARGE. I am an old dude and do not want something too tactical. I do have a separate bag I throw in the car when going out.
I'll keep that in mind. I've had Maxpedition in the past, great quality stuff... Just a little too military looking for me for edc. They do have one bag called Entity that looks promising. I was looking at that bag from Vanquest, I like the look of it. Thank you for the support, I appreciate it.
@@AmericanDrifter Maxpedition is having a huge sale on their stuff. The entity series is nice. I bought one of their backpacks and used it to supplement my carry as I mentioned previously. I am forced to use this dual approach is due to a medical condition with my wife and all the PPE stuff I carry. Keep making videos. You have a great presentation style.
There goes my wallet haha. I'm sorry to hear that, I wish you both the best. Thank you for that. It's difficult at times to balance everything but I'm going to continue for awhile to see how it goes. Hope to hear from you in the future!
"Shes got diamonds on the inside". Perfect background music!
That was a cool ass draw in the intro never seen that!

This bag is not just a med bag.
It’s for off-body EDC, plus it’s body armor plates’ carrier.
I’ve two IIIA kevlar plates in mine.
That pocket thats behind the molle panel is so you can hide that front flap if you like. So you can have the Molle panel exposed.
I picked up an ORVIS sling for the waterproofing -this one has some nice detailing -nice mod with the seat belt cushion
That 1st compartment "hidden pocket" is for another ballistic plate. For more shielding when the bag is completely dropped open! 💪🏽👌🏽 Great Review!
Great review, IMO. I’ve been searching.. and I believe this is going to be my go to. Thank you.
@Jonathan Bailey. Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching
Great Video Thank You
Nice review! I am considering this bag for an FN 510. I wonder if it will fit?
Thanks! If the measurements are similar to a 34, it should fit diagonally.
nice! i've got one of these too and it's a well planned out design. However the velcro could be better, it seems to "wear out" becomes less velcro-ee after some time.

Con, it's right-handed only. I'm a lefty.
Nice review ✌
Nice work, very thorough with no wasted chatter. However, it looks like it won't work for left-handed draw. Correct?
@Michael Mason. I don't think it would work for a left-handed draw. Thanks for the feedback!

@@AmericanDrifter it’s definitely better than no gun at all, that’s for damn sure!
I’ll keep you posted

Good review. I have one coming in and you just fed my hunger to get it. Sub'd
How does it work with a flash light on the pistol, can you pull it out quick with that loop holding it in the bag, or will it snag?
@Robert Underdunk Terwilliger. I have used it with my G19 with an olight before and had no issue drawing from the bag. The vanquest sticky holster is adjustable and universal. A lot depends on your CC and holster but I don't think you'd have a problem. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Just expensive
Great Review! It would SUCK if the zipper pull got stuck when you really needed it. LOL
I carry mine for over four years - every day. No sign of zippers’ wear.
How's this holding up? I'm debating between this and the Viktos Upscale 2
@Eye of Sauron. I cycle through a lot of bags but I always come back to the Vertx for EDC. I've had it for years now and I take it with me every time I leave the house.

@@AmericanDrifter Thank you and it really does. stay safe and have some happy holidays!
👍👍👍👍
Have you compared this to the Viktos sling?
@Richard Lee. I have not but I'm always open to trying a new product. Thanks for letting me know.
@@AmericanDrifter keep up the good work. I think ur the only person that might give pro and con at the end.
Nice bag, but the “I have a gun “ handle dangling cancels the buy
@Toe Jam, I get what you mean. Generally speaking though, most people don't people watch to tell if someone is carrying a gun. Situation dictates though. I'm always on the lookout for another bag to try. Thanks for watching.
@toe jam, I didn’t know what you meant at first but when I saw it I totally agreed with you
Can you put a jacket in it
Rain jacket, yes. If it’s a thick jacket it would be a tight fit but it might work.
gut.
Nice, but price and still a little to big they have the right idea though im not a pocket guy I just want a small bag for EDC, not a bug out bag , but it dose have the zippers in the right place on the side just my thoughts
