Versatile VERTAC Gear Bags blend backpack comfort with duffel efficiency
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve used both sizes depending on the mission—40L for travel days and lighter loads, 60L when I’m hauling ropes, hardware, or jobsite gear. The access is what sets them apart. They stand up on their own, open wide, and make it incredibly easy to keep gear sorted instead of buried."
We count on the VERTAC Gear Bags—whether the compact 40L or spacious 60L—when our days shift between airports, job sites, and gear-heavy climbs. Sterling builds both bags with a freestanding shape and easy-access openings that let us see everything from the top down or through full panel zips, keeping even bottom-dwelling items visible when we’re loading up fast.
Recycled 600d ripstop fabric adds dependable durability for rough handling, and sculpted straps let us switch between backpack carry and duffel mode without fuss. The 40L shines as a streamlined travel partner with TSA-approved dimensions, while the 60L offers the deeper layout we want for full kits, heavy hardware, or multi-day work loads. Rated grab handles on each size give us confidence in vertical environments, and internal pockets, daisy chains, and organized compartments keep both versions adaptable across work and play.
