What can your EDC Bag do for you?

You've got choices when it comes to Everyday Carry Bags, so choose one with a feature set that's going to give you the most versatility. Vertx bags are designed to give you what you want: Options. Whether you're looking at the Commuter Sling 2.0, the Transit, the Gumut, or the Gamut Checkpoint they all share the same versatility DNA.

Set it up how you want it

For style choices, Vertx bags come in enough colorways that you'll be hard-pressed not to find one that suits you.

On the interior, Vertx bags feature Tactigami hook & loop mounting systems to position items exactly where you want them. Interior sleeves provide the ability to increase protection and structure by adding hard or soft armored panels. Large zipper tabs allow for rapid deployment and limiting tabs constrict the aperture to ensure that your gear stays contained yet accessible.

Check out the video above for more ideas on how to choose and set up your EDC bag.
