Vertx has been the first to step up and fix this problem, starting with a new line of bags this year.<\/p>\n<p>Gone are the tactical colors, and in their place common-sense alternatives. Khaki and orange. Forest Green. Navy Blue. Colors real human beings wear. Colors that hide in plain sight, and are close enough to hide in the woods, too. There is still a little problem of brand logo, but that is easy to fix with a sewn-on cover up. And if the market keeps going this way, that stuff is likely to cease, too. Even if it doesn\u2019t, it only advertises the true nature of your kit to other people that know what Vertx is.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69244\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"covert-casual-vertx-everyday-gear\" title=\"Covert &amp; Casual: Vertx Everyday Gear\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69244\" title=\"Covert &amp; Casual: Vertx Everyday Gear\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-69244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Covert &amp; Casual: Vertx Everyday Gear\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC01332-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-69244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vertx&#8217;s innovations on display also included bags.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Impression<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The biggest innovation I saw from Vertx wasn\u2019t even in the bags, it was the new \u201cluggage tag.\u201d This is a big rubberized zipper handle, that doubles as a luggage tag, but is actually useful for ripping open a suit bag in a hurry, which has a hidden compartment for a rifle. Brilliant. The new stuff does look like actual civilian standard luggage, but it was built to hold all manner of hardware.
