The Vertx Ready Pack X keeps the proven Ready Pack silhouette and evolves it with smarter organization, faster access, and a lower-profile carry. Inside you’ll find enhanced admin, a dedicated 15" laptop sleeve, and a purpose-built CCW compartment with Rapid Access Pull so your EDC stays sorted and ready.

Discreet on the outside, mission-capable on the inside.

Built on a decade of field feedback, the Ready Pack X blends into everyday settings while quietly upgrading what matters: organization, access, and comfort. The re-engineered admin layout (translucent mesh, loop panels, gear slots, key lanyard) keeps tools visible and exactly where you expect them. A dedicated CCW compartment (16.5" H) works with hook-backed holsters and includes the Large BAP strap for secure carry. Pair it with the movable Rapid Access Pull tab to stage your draw and open the compartment from the side you prefer.

A tuckable front flap hides a new laser-cut MOLLE panel for slick-looking daily carry or fast expansion when the mission changes. The updated foam back panel rides comfortably all day and now adds a luggage-handle pass-through for painless travel. Stretch water-bottle pockets, hydration/comms pass-throughs, and lockable YKK zippers round out a pack that stays gray-man but runs at a higher tempo.

Available colors: Black, Evergreen, Slate Grey/Depth Charge (dual-tone).

Ready Pack X FAQs

Will my Premier Body Armor backpack panel fit the Ready Pack X?

Is the Ready Pack X CCW-compatible out of the box?

Yes. The CCW compartment measures 16.5" in height, works with any hook-backed holster or accessory, and includes the Large BAP strap to secure your setup. Use the Rapid Access Pull tab to stage faster openings from your preferred side.

What size laptop does it hold?

Up to a 15" laptop in the dedicated, loop-lined sleeve - separate from the CCW area to keep tools and tech organized.
