It's designed to look like the Lululemon Everywhere Bag that is pretty common to find. Pretty clever in my opinion. Just remove the second zipper pull tab. It's not even being used
Thanks so much for this in depth video! I have been looking at these a lot. Lena put out a video saying to cut off the bottom zipper pull to avoid pulling both and zipping the bag back up.
I appreciate you watching! I prefer to have a non-destructive option for the zipper. Vertx has very cool pocket organizers that could be used inside the pack. When I'm traveling with it, it would be good to have both zipper ls still working for when it's more general use.
Thanks for this. I do have a concern if someone grabs the strap from behind and the plastic clip snaps. Many thieves out there looking for purses and backpacks these days sadly
a very easy solve for this is to run one loop of those velcro wraps you use to wrap cables along the top and bottom of the clip snaps (that way the buckle literally cannot come loose). It's easy enough for you to remove, but makes it near impossible for a snatcher to grab off you.
My daily carry bag. You can fit a g43x mos easily. I also have trl 6 light as well and it all fits. I use crossbreed modular holster. One thing to keep in mind is don’t just put your firearm in and walk away, practice dry fire daily zipping and unzipping and drawing.
I use this for edc and I agree that the buckle needs to be fixed. It way too easy to accidentally open when making adjustments. I like your idea of using an elastic waist strap and I really wish you could pick the orientation of the side the buckle goes.
I can fit a glock 20 (10mm) with an rmr in a hill people gear chest pack. I use it for hiking in griz bear country while still concealing to prevent alarming other hikers. The back strap being a wide mesh allows you to carry a backpack over it
I may get one. All carry systems have pros and cons, and you need many different ways to carry based on what your are doing. I need something unobtrusive like this for daily summer wear ... even mowing the lawn. I looked at the price .... very reasonable. I have looked at other fanny pack holster systems, and they want an arm and a leg for them.
I just got the vertx long walks waist pack. The one thing I wish it had is found on this model with the adjustable clips so you can move it from cross draw sling carry to waist pack carry. Mine doesn't do that so it flops forward on me when I try and sling carry it. Not a huge deal that it doesn't sit flush but it's probably not as slim line and as comfortable as this one. I can however carry a slightly larger firearm like a full size g17. It in fact fits my p30L perfectly.
In depth video and you mentioned all the same things I don't like about the design. But still my favorite EDC fanny. I also like the 'fieldcraft survival' brand fanny.
I have a very similar pistol and I agree, the zipper needs to go down a bit lower / have a longer track. The buckle is a little too weak / too easy to disconnect. I'm thinking of some sort of locking tab as well or even just the buckle from the SOCP fanny pack. I'd also want the bag a half inch taller for my G48 with optic and TLR7 sub in a CB holster. If I don't want the bottom of the grip catching on the bag where the zipper stops, the zipper catches and hesitates on my optic when I'm unzipping. It's like 90% perfect for me.
I recently bought an Eberlestock Bando bag, which you might be familiar with. It has some of the same features and is about the same size. I've been carrying a Ruger LCP Max in a Vedder pocket locker (Kydex) holster which has worked pretty well but pocket carry has pros and cons, like everything does. I've yet to find a comfortable IWB holster. I'm looking forward to carrying in the Bando bag but my question is about your velcro backed holster. What brand, and did it come with velcro already attached or did you install it? I think a proper kydex holster in this configuration is much more secure than the soft/velcro wraps. Thanks for a great review!
@@brianfolding40 I ordered industrial branded Velcro to put on the back of a holster. I removed the clips that came with a holster I got from Havok Holsters and put the Velcro on the back myself. Thank you for watching!
About using the head, I carry at 4 o’clock and my pistol always flops around. Thank you for doing this video, I’ve been looking for a small fanny pack that would fit my Glock 43 or 26
Let me add this and you alluded this at the end if you want to jog with it it will move around to much and the strap rub on the under arm does not feel good in cross body.
Yeah I wouldn't do this. Just carry appendix or IWB. If you're going to carry protection you have to deal with the pros and cons of it. What's your life worth to you ? Comfort and convenience or reliability and security.
I just picked up JStactical EDC Bag. It’s very versatile in that you can change positions of how the strap attaches to the bag depending on how you carry. Also, it’s very customizable with inserts that you can purchase. I believe it’s a bit larger than the vertex. Also, has a low profile strap on the top for grab and go or transitioning positions. I got it in hot pink because I’m a gurl and not interested in looking “tactical.” There is a bit of a wait time as it’s coming from the Ukraine and we all know what’s going on there. Cheers!✌🏼
Hey man, this question might be a bit off topic. However I couldnt find an answer, thats why I am hoping you could help me out. So I have a 9mm Pistol. I am an amateur competitive shooter and I usually shoot from 25m/15m/10m. I am using iron sights and I recently bought new sights and I am wondering what would be the best range to zero my new irons? what would you suggest?
Hey brother! Generally speaking you can't "Zero" iron sights. The goals to make sure they are centered and as even as possible. Red dots obviously have more area for the rericle to travel which is why it's important to zero. Reach out to me on Instagram and I'd be glad to help guide you more. @TheTacticalRabbi
It was not mentioned in the video. You can technically carry one in the front pocket at a horizontal angle. The main pocket for this particular firearm I was using seem to be a little bit small to also have an additional magazine. Since this would be a crossbody setup having spare magazine might be a good idea to keep in a pant pocket. But yes, the pack is a little limited in that regard.
@@TheTacticalRabbiwhich did you like better? The 945 seems very expensive. Do you have a favorite Fanny pack? I like the size of this one and have a x-macro
@@stevestory8483 it also comes down to purpose of use. The vertex option is much more low profile and looks more inconspicuous. However if you plan on being able to carry more than they 945 would be the way to go. I generally find myself using the vertex more often because of the environments I'm in.
@@JamesDavis-ht9of At 2:54 You can see that with an optic it comes just to the edge but still fits. If you don't have an optic on your firearm it should still fit no problem.

That’s how I’d carry it, but can I ask why you say that is the correct way?

@@Jarvitalize yep ziptie works too for a more permanent closure. I prefer Velcro wrap because I can open/close at will and it’s reusable.

I used pliers to remove the second zipper. Or you can simply remove the pull string from that unused zipper.
Should give the tight chutes voyager a try. Pretty great pack, easy to adjust and the mars holster is dope.

What holster would you recommend for this fanny pack?
You can use any basic holster and just remove the clips. You can try Havok: bit.ly/45ur1Rc
You can use Code: TacticalRabbi to save some money.
Thank you 🙏
I ran a maxpedition Velcro one, they are cheap and do the job. Depending on how you carry the gun it might be an option 😊
Tasmanian tiger hip bag or hill people gear chest bag. Good options that i recommend. Actually well build

Great video! Was wondering where you got your pull tab from
The tab I have is from a keychain. However vertex makes a significantly better option on their site.
Was curious, what holster are you using and what backing do you put on it to make it stay? I'm trying to find something to work with my x macro?
I'm using a holster from Havok Holsters. I just removed the clips and added male sided Velcro to the back.

I carry my xmacro in a lululemon everywhere carry bag for gym and beach walks lol,
I just wanna get something low profile when I go workout and go on runs
Of the options I've tested so far, this one would work best for that.
The shiny little logo so that it is alertable to law enforcement and CIA just turns me off I can't I can't do that because of that.
How long is the strap?
SLOW DOWN or maybe switch to decaf. Also learn to make your point once then move on.
What is the name of the extended zipper pull tab?
@@Mac206x Vertx calls it the Rapid Access Tab
Speeding up the audio is giving me a headache
Why open it completely and not halfway?
Because the firearm can snag coming out...
