Overview of the Vertx Pro Transit EDC Sling Bag Everyday carry Sling Bag | VTX5042
Fast access for real daily carry
You move quickly, and the Vertx Pro Transit EDC Sling Bag VTX5042 keeps up. This 17 liter everyday carry sling bag stages your CCW, laptop, and essentials where you can reach them in one smooth motion. The single crossbody strap lets you rotate the pack forward, crack open the full-zip front flap, and grab what you need without slowing down in a crowd or on the trail.
Built for discreet CCW and organization
Inside, a light-colored interior, loop-lined walls, and the included Tactigami Double Admin Panel make it easy to build a custom layout for work, range days, or off-duty carry. The dedicated CCW compartment works with popular modular holsters and armor inserts so your defensive tools stay close and completely out of sight.
Low-profile look with duty-grade durability
Outside, the convertible front flap hides laser-cut MOLLE when you want a civilian look and tucks away when you want more attachment points. A padded grab handle, stretch water bottle pocket, and lockable YKK zippers round out the design. Bonded nylon thread, reinforced seams, and a 3D molded back panel handle hard daily use for law enforcement, armed professionals, and prepared civilians alike.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vertx Pro Transit EDC Sling Bag
Question 1
Will my 15 inch laptop fit in the Vertx Pro Transit EDC Sling Bag VTX5042?
Most standard 15 inch laptops and tablets will fit in the padded, loop-lined sleeve. Very thick gaming or rugged laptops may be a tight fit, so checking your laptop dimensions against the 16 in by 10 in by 7 in outer size is recommended.
Question 2
Is the CCW compartment truly separate from the main storage area?
Yes. The bag includes a dedicated CCW compartment with its own access points, floating divider, and G-hook security. This compartment is separate from the main storage area so you can keep firearms or other defensive tools isolated from general items like chargers and notebooks.
Question 3
Can I switch the sling to carry on either shoulder?
The design favors a primary carry direction but many users are able to adjust strap routing and attachment points to run the sling across either shoulder. The stabilizer strap helps keep the bag tight whether you carry right- or left-handed.
Question 4
Does the Vertx Pro Transit VTX5042 come with body armor or a holster?
No. The bag is compatible with the Premier Body Armor Vertx Transit 3.0 Level IIIA Insert and modular holsters such as the Crossbreed Modular Holster, but those items are sold separately so you can choose your preferred setup.
Question 5
How durable is the Vertx Pro Transit Sling Bag for daily duty use?
The bag uses durable nylon fabric, bonded nylon thread, bartacked stress points, and lockable YKK zippers. Combined with the molded foam back panel and reinforced handle, this construction is designed to hold up to frequent duty, range, and travel use when loaded correctly.
