Commuter XL 2.0 Sling Bag

FAQ’s:

1.) Are Vertx Bags really that great? 

There are plenty of quality bags on the market. There are also many…not so great options. We bought our first Vertx bags back around 2015/2016. We have been a customer of Vertx for years and we have used nearly all of their backpacks, slings, and packs in our personal lives. Our team quite literally carries Vertx bags on us every single day. There is a reason: They are extremely well built, they are laid out well, they can take immense abuse, and the don’t look tactical. The last thing we want is to have bags that look tactical or are laid out poorly. The Vertx bags in general are well built, well thought out packs.

2.) Are these bags drop shipped? 

No. We stock these physically in our warehouse and we only stock models that we have had the opportunity to get our hands on and use. We stock these bags so we can be sure to service you the way we know you want to be treated: Faster shipping, better service.

3.) Are Vertx bags made in the USA?  

No. Vertx bags are manufactured in Vietnam.

4.) Who should consider the Commuter Sling XL 2.0?  

The Commuter Sling XL is a very large sling bag. The obvious advantage of this bag is the fact that it easily and comfortably fits a 12.5″ Folded AR15. Not many bags will fit an assembled 12.5″ Rifle folded. The tradeoff of this bag is it is not very discreet due simply to its size. With that being said, if you transport an 11.5″ or 12.5″ rifle in your vehicle, having a way to carry it is important. You never know when your vehicle might leave you sit. You also never know when you might need to ditch your vehicle. For that reason, always having a capable bag is a must.

5.) What size rifle will fit into the Commuter Sling XL 2.0?

In our current climate, we see more and more intentional division. Mass shootings and attacks, while rare, often happen with shooters armed with rifles and armor. For this reason, we believe we should be prepared for righteous violence at a moment’s notice. Having a 12.5″ rifle on tap is not a bad call. The Commuter Sling XL 2.0 fits up to a 12.5″ folded AR15 or AK variant.

6.) What is the best way to carry spare magazines? 

We offer several variations of our mag shingles. We have a triple rifle version, a 2 Rifle 1 Pistol, and a Quad Pistol shingle for discreet bag carry. For this particular bag the shingles/spare bags work best in the concealed carry compartment (closest compartment toward users back).

7.) Who should steer clear of the Commuter sling 2.0?

The one “downside” of the Commuter Sling XL is the sheer size. It will be noticed in public. For this reason, it is not our go to for daily public carrying of concealed rifles. We want to blend in, be inconspicuous and not raise any concerns. If you are on the hunt for a more discreet option, we would recommend the Commuter Sling or Transit Sling. If all you have is a 12.5″ rifle or pistol with a folding adapter, this will be your bag. Just know that it is not the most discreet compared to smaller options.
