Foghorn's Review of Vertx EDC Commuter Sling Bag
Actually needed a new way of carrying my laptop for work. The old shoulder bag was on it's last leg and I wanted to try a sling bag. (I purchased this myself so it wasn't something bought for me by my company.)
When it arrived I was a little surprised at the size.. its a little smaller than I was expecting. My 15" laptop fits but if definitely wouldn't work on anything larger. At first unpacking I didn't think that it was going hold everything I needed but it did fine. Plenty of admin type storage for office supplies. The front pouch pulls away easy enough but I don't feel that I'll loose anything.
The "CCW" compartment has plenty of room and once I set it up I'll see what its like to carry with the laptop. There's a backer/stiffener of sorts between this compartment and the padding against your back. I'm hoping this would reduce any sharp spots that could come from having the laptop rest against a firearm and you back.
The Sling is comfortable and there are some nice keepers that will hold the extra webbing out of the way. I'm not really a fan of the way the secondary strap comes around closer to your waist. I'd personally prefer more of a sternum strap but I haven't really felt like I needed it. For reference I wear a 44 jacket and the strap fits fine with out feeling restricting or too loose.
I've had it for about a month and so far I'm pleased.
