    Various reasons for the little webbing loop - protecting your skin/clothes from the hook and loop is part of it, and also enabling you to loop it on a carabiner or keys or whatever. I actually used those same neoprene carriers a lot before we had our own, they aren’t good for mags, which is what they are made for, but are great for the ETQ. The neoprene carriers are made in China, ours are made in USA, but yeah, they cost a lot to make, and the awesome and vastly superior DCC clip is very expensive. Glad you like the ETQ. Put my heart and soul into it. Cheers

    I’m stoked / irritated. I do really love my SOCP, but the front pocket was always a total joke. 😤I have a regular sized iPhone 14 Pro, and it will NOT fit in there with a slim case on. For how big the bag is, it’s really annoying. It’s so much wasted space. The zipper seems like a great improvement, but did they increase the size of the pocket at all? . There are a few seamstress / tailors around. I might honestly take this video to them and see if they could stick a zipper in my old SOCP for me. 😂 Excellent review & video! Thanks for actually going thru the pockets clearly & so we can actually see them & doing a great comparison. I feel like most review videos these days are done in caves with no lighting and they pick the darkest color bag so you can’t see shit. 🙄😐

    I wanted to love the SOCP as a cross body, but i absolutely hate it. It doesn't sit flat against your body and rotates fwd even without concealed. I do like it as a fanny but I wish they did one with a quick pull strap. I have a 30$ jawn i got off Amazon that is infinitely better for concealed carry. The long walks has me intrigued, tho.

    I just got one of the Long Walks "don't-call-it-a-fanny-pack" "waist packs" and I also have a Vertx backpack now as well, I always feel like Vertx gets 75% of the way there but leaves a lot to be desired. I love the 2 liter Long Walks waist pack, fits nearly perfectly; however, I wish i could have the option to wear it as a sling pack if I wanted to, I feel like it's a bit more casual especially in the blue color it doesn't scream "theres a gun in here" it flops forward when I wear it like that, if they had a second position for the straps it would be great. Straps come loose far too easily, they are easy to tighten but they loosen very easily, I'd like to see if I can put a piece of paracord around where the buckle is or something to act as a sort of stopper so it doesn't come loose as easily on its own. The velcro on the inside is great I just wish it had a bit more internal organizers but then again they want you to buy their tactigami inserts for that.

    If they're really intent on keeping that spy pocket, they need to just make a new bag that's exactly the same, but completely replace the phone pocket with just a pocket, w/top zip. Literally just another pocket... Almost perfect Vertx. ALMOST. Also, add the same buckle as from the long walk fanny pack. Or just use a Fidlock.
