Vertx Gamut Overland Backpack Full Review | Pros and Cons

The Vertx Gamut Overland is the big brother to the very popular Gamut backpack. It is essentially a larger EDC pack, made to hold those larger items and all the gear that you want to carry but can't fit into a smaller everyday pack.

Pros: 11:07
Cons: 13:02
Final Thoughts: 15:35

I really like this pack, but it really didn't fit into a need for me, It was too big for my regular EDC pack, too big to use as a carry-on bag, and not really built for backpacking. I think this would make a great bug-out bag, or 72-hour bag, or that sort of thing. It worked great as a traveling pack for car trips and gave me lots of ability to carry...things.

When the pack is fully loaded, it can get heavy and it isn't built for heavy loads. The weight will carry mostly on the shoulders. There is a hip belt that helps with some weight distribution, but not a lot. Also when the pack is fully loaded, any items in the CCW pocket tend to push into your back a bit. If you are planning to hike with this pack with a full load, or if you are loading it up as a prepping bag, put flat items in the CCW pocket.
