Great all around backpack - Vertx EDC Gamut Plus Backpack

I needed a new backpack for every day use. I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews about a number of backpacks, but this one seemed to stand out from the rest. I wanted a bag that offered a lot of tactical like features, but was still covert enough to use for work and didn't stand out like a military style bag. I originally was going to go with the regular size gamut, but went with the plus size because it offered more flexibility for what I needed. This bag is versatile enough to be a work bag, a day hiking bag, and even an overnight travel bag.

I love the amount of pockets and compartments in this bag. I used to carry a backpack or a courier bag depending on the situation, but this bag is able to handle the contents from both bags without a problem. Even with a full load, this bag is still very comfortable to carry. I commute 45 minutes each way to work, sometimes on a motorcycle, and this bag feels relatively light for the size.

The only faults I can find with it are the water bottle pouches on the sides, which will not hold a full-size Nalgene bottle, and the lack of ventilation on the padding that goes against your back. These are both minor issues, And not deal breakers.

I've had this backpack for two weeks now, and I love it. The quality is top notch. I've had a few friends who have checked it out and are considering purchasing one. I would highly recommend this bag, and I am considering buying more Vertx products because of how satisfied I am.
