For some reason, we forgot about this one, but better late than never. Anway, after Darrell Morrow of Vertx got done showing us the Vertx Speed Concealed Carry Shirt (Long Sleeve, Forest Plaid) and Delta Stretch Lo-Pro/Lo-Vis Combat/Tactical Pants at the company’s booth at SHOT Show 2016, he took us through the Vertx Professional Rifle Garment bag, which is one of the most interesting and well-designed combat/tactical travel bags DefenseReview’s ever seen. The Professional Rifle Garment Bag is essentially a very well-designed garment bag that also allows you to discreetly carry a tactical AR (AR-15) carbine/SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) up to 28″ OA (Overall) length and draw it very quickly in a crisis. Not only that, but you can stick a large body armor panel for ballistic protection, and use it as a ballistic shield in a fight. Vertx calls this last aspect the “Captain America feature”.

DR really digs this bag. Take a look at the video we shot below to see all the bag’s many features, which are many. Being a Vertx bag, the Professional Rifle Garment Bag is of course Tactigami-Compatible and VELCRO-lined, so you can mount and hide a plethora of tactical gear, including pistol holsters, tactical flashlight holsters, ammo, you name it. Oh, and you can currently get it in one of three colors: Black, Black, or Black.

Defense Review looks forward to running the Vertx Professional Rifle Bag during one of our future travel excursions, and we recommend that any military SOF (Special Operations Forces), PSD (Personal Security Detail)/executive protection specialist, or tactically-minded civilian traveller give it a very serious look.
