Review on πŸŽ’ Enhance Your Urban Preparedness with Vertx Ready Pack Smoke Grey Backpacks by Paul Lewis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good backpack, a few tricks prevent it from fitting in completely.

This is a good college bag. I haven't been able to find any other reviews on this from this point of view. Also, I'm pro-gun and I'm 100% sure that what I say below isn't breaking any laws. So please leave me alone. The bag is well made. The organization is great and I love the see through inner pockets. I feel like there's plenty of room for stationery, and the smaller exterior pocket is deep enough to accommodate chargers without blocking the admin compartments. I can load in my laptop, charger, notepads and textbooks, as well as a gun and other miscellaneous items, and it's still very convenient. Belts are great. The back panel seems good and comfortable but it hasn't been hot since I've had it so can't comment on the ventilation. Speaking of the backrest, if you were that inclined you could put a ballistic plate in there. The elastic band at the top of the laptop bag has already stretched a bit. I would have preferred it tighter. The laptop appears to be off the bottom of the bag so when you put the bag down the laptop doesn't touch the floor. You can easily remove the chest and waist straps. Reattachment is easy too. The bag has a lot of hook and loop material. It is located in the main, middle and back pockets. Also, there is Velcro on the outside of the bag bottom and anti-clockwise on the flap to open the compartment. It seems useless. I have a feeling the idea is to blend in with the rest and it seems to me that patching will get the attention you're trying to avoid. I'd rather it wasn't there. A large flap that could be used for quick access to your CCW is useful, but draws attention to the carrying compartment. I've had a few people ask about it on campus, and a few people have heard. I usually carry it in the middle pocket under the molle panel as I feel the gun is well hidden there and I don't find the molle panel very useful in everyday life. Even with the center compartment open, the weapon is fairly well hidden since it can sit so low. Also, it looks like a regular bag when the bag is closed. There is no stupid patch for people to think about. Access might be slower, just a second or so, but it's better than someone figuring out what you're wearing in the area I'm in. I had trouble finding a decent holster. Taktigami has a TERRIBLE hold. If you are 100% sure that the bag will never stand upright, then everything is fine. I personally use a backpack as a backpack. Sometimes it falls. I found my gun would fall out. The Ohai mix made our bag a much better option for just a few bucks. All the logos on the bag are very subtle and I love it. It took me a few minutes to find them all. Although very well made, it's extremely comfortable and conceals my pistol well. All my complaints are minor and this is my favorite backpack.
