This has been a huge year for Vertx. Before they were primarily a tactical clothing company. With the introduction of their bag line and accessories, they’ve become a legitimate competitor to companies like Triple Aught Design and 5.11 Tactical.
I’m still carrying the EDC Gamut as my daily commuter pack. I never thought anything would replace the Camelbak Dispatch in that coveted spot. I’ve swapped them out a couple of times over the past few months to compare and that has reinforced my view that the Gamut is a step up. The capabilities of the packs are similar but the Gamut is sleeker and more comfortable with the same load-out (which is important given my daily grind).
For those of you looking forward to Part 3 of the EDC Gamut review, I’m still waiting on Tactigami from Vertx. I could have done the concealed carry part of the review with other manufacturer’s kit but I wanted to show you how the Vertx accessories pair with the bag. They keep telling me more inventory is coming so stay tuned.
On a related note, Solider Systems reported from the Warrior Expo East that Vertx may be offering new colorways soon. Here are a couple of examples:
I’m happy with Black but it’s great to have options.
I’ve also paired the EDC Gamut with the Vertx Integrity Waterproof Shell jacket. That’s been awesome as well given Chicago’s stormy weather the past month or two. A review is coming soon. So… it’s all Vertx, all the time, now on Loadedpocketz? Not hardly, but it probably seems that way.
When a company is knocking it out of the park, I’m not going to be shy about singing their praises. And, in my opinion, Vertx is certainly doing that right now.
