Carrying a backpack is a common thing in modern society.
From school halls to Wall Street, it seems everyone has an EDC pack.
Justin Opinion takes a look at a pair of high-quality options in this Viktos Perimeter review.
If you spend your life on the move, there is no reason not to bring your stuff, including your defensive handgun if legally allowed. The Viktos Perimeter backpack helps to make that happen.
It seems that I cant go anyplace without bringing along my 50 favorite things.
This list of favorite things very often includes a handgun and extra magazines.
Those numbers represent the liter capacity of the backpacks (25L and 40L, respectively.)
There are places in the Viktos pack for your gun, extra mags, and all the other gear you might need to go with it.
The provided nylon holster easily accommodates the Hellcat orHellcat Proas well as thefull-size XD-M Elite.
The packs are even compatible with Premier Body Armors Level IIIA inserts.
I dont baby the bags I use to tote my gear around.
Any pack is only as good as the hardware it uses. Viktos uses genuine YKK zippers with silent pulls for a lifetime of service.
Ill toss them, drag them, yank the zippers and use them for a rifle rest.
The stitching and hardware of the Viktos bags are top notch and laughed at any abuse I dished out.
Inside storage compartments are well organized, with zip closures or elastic hems.
There are a multitude of interior storage compartments and attachment points on the Viktos pack.
On the outside, there are numerous loops and Molle sections to fasten and hang additional gear.
I like to keep at least one carabiner on the bag just in case.
Velcro panels allow you to personalize the bag with your favorite patches.
Thanks to Viktos’ attachable universal holster with Velcro and secure clip attachments, your handgun does not displace other helpful space.
Everything You Need?
There are abundant compartments of all sizes inside these bags.
The 40-liter even has an internal nylon pouch with a drawstring that reminds me of a little duffle bag.
The inside “duffle” of the 40-liter pack is a great place to store a change of clothes or other loose bulky items.
I found it the perfect place to keep a change of clothes or extra camo.
The Hellcat Pro was carried in the Perimeter 25 backpack and the XD-M in the 40-liter bag.
Makes sense, right?
Although, they could easily have been switched around.
Its a smooth nylon material that is snag-free, with well-stitched edges and seams.
And if youre not already wearing camo, this bag provides some.
Which size and which pattern is best will depend on how you plan to use it.
And with or without the handgun there is room for all your stuff.
