Covert Tactical/Concealed Carry Pants

[@Snapper314]

I've been wearing Vertx pants for well over a decade and love them. Work... Play... even a night out (after ironing). Love them.

[@Marty32]

Been wearing the Vertx blue jeans for a while now as my “standard” pair of jeans. I enjoy them.

The blue jeans are fantastic! The day they delivered and I tried them on I ordered another pair the same day

Do you recommend going up a size for concealed carry? Or are these stretchy enough to not have to worry about that

[@bryantdasilva6114]

I go up a size. 👍🏽 I love my pants.

Hi Sam. Is it possible to reduce the Volume on the Intro? It is about 2-3 times louder than your voice before and after it. If the volume od your voice is ok for me, the intromusic is much to loud for me.

Same! I'm usually on headphones.

Loudness Normalize Audio in Adobe Audition by Curtis Judd kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYakl4ptob-Bhsk

[@doclogic]

As an audio guy, it also means that the intro is the loudest part of the video and makes your voice quieter. If the music volume is lower, it'll balance the video out better per KZbin loudness algorithm.

[@PrepMedic]

I mean, the audio is set for a peak of -6 db and the audio is set for -3 db. I’ll work on changing it but according to my software it is balanced.

[@SimpleFitNurse]

These are great products for healthcare professionals. Thanks for the video, I will be buying a pair for sure

question: of the 3, do they all have the same fit around the legs? if not, can you order them by baggiest to slimmest fit? thanks!

[@fireemblemistrash75]

For my fellow jean wearers. I wear Levi 501’s, whatever mid tier levi’s sold at Marshalls and such, kirkland, Old navy brand jeans, etc. Your basic jeans aren’t gonna work too well. The stiffer and smaller the size the worser and more uncomfortable. Im about 5’5ft 158lbs and carry (currently) a 1911, Glock 17 with light and rmr, Glock 23, and S&W 638 airweight. I’ve found the biggest problem is even if you go up a size your pants will normally be too stiff and while normally may work, having your gun inside the waistband makes the little space you get even narrower and more uncomfortable.

Cashier: sir, you’re $5 short Me: darn *unzips pants* 3:46

[@shortyxmoshpigx5488]

one issue i have with all these edc/'covert tactical' pants, is that i'd have to replace all my pants with these to have a reliable, consistent edc system with these. and that would be a huge financial commitment. so unless i get rich, i'll keep stuffing my stuff into a fanny pack and just keep my defensive stuff and my cellphone in my pockets and waistband.

One thing that I have found is that the Delta 2.1 is a little lower cut from crotch to belt than the other two. The other two: Defiance jeans and Cutback have a higher // taller crotch height and is more comfortable for me, especially when carrying a gun in IWB. The belt line comes up higher. Have you found this to be the case as well?

[@1FRANHER1]

That brand is new to me, great video! It'd be nice to watch you use and review some of the UF Pro gear as well!

I like vertex, but for daily wear pants, I need something a little more business casual. Those would be great for me "after hours" but not in the office.

[@AC-wj8cz]

Hey man do you think you can make a video on like an ultralight backpacking Trauma kit

[@Gary-ib8dz]

That would be cool. I think I was carrying too much when I went for a hike this summer.

[@Johndewitt66]

Check out North American Rescue or Dark Angel Medical. Both make great slimmed-down trauma kits for a variety of scenarios. My principal recommendation is always the same. At least 1-3 tourniquets (preferably the CAT-T or the SOF-TW), a pair of chest seals (HALOs are the best I have found but the NAR HYFIN isn't bad), pressure dressings (Israeli Bandages are available at any military surplus store & never really expire but here again NAR makes a great pressure bandage), & hemostatic gauze (z-folded QuikClot or Celox brand are the gold standard). Besides that, it's all booboo stuff to keep in a normal first aid kit or generally more advanced than most are willing to get educated on the use of (like angiocatheters to perform a needle chest decompression). Realistically, the 4 things I listed will allow anyone who sustains significant trauma that can be survived the time needed to get to an extraction area & receive definitive medical care. Hope this helps.

[@Gary-ib8dz]

@@Johndewitt66 thanks. I think that is close to what I was carrying. I think I was hoping someone would convince me that I could carry less and lighten my load. :)

[@PumpkinHead440]

I have a medical condition where anything my gut don’t like it swells like a fat hyenas belly. The vertx jeans might be my best solution because of it’s stretchy feature. Already got the McQuade Jeans and they are amazing. And just placed an order of two vertx jeans. 😎

[@CMDR-Cody]

I have four pairs of defiance jeans (different colors) and one pair of khaki delta stretch pants. That is basically my wardrobe except a couple pairs of slacks for dressing up. some I have had tor more than three years. I used to get new jeans every year because they would wear out. these are more comfy, have more features, and last longer.

[@ea214]

How do they compare to the 5.11? I found the openings on the 5.11 front pockets to be too narrow for my hands to reach in and stick with my Lee MVP Extreme Motion jeans.

[@samhowell7174]

vertx are not making more delta stretch 2.0... they are waiting to release the 3.0. Just fyi for the gear review that does not have sizes for sale.

[@hambone4728]

Do you know that for sure? Because I've noticed the 2.0 availability has been dwindling for awhile now and doesn't seem to be getting restocked. I chalked it up to covid affecting international shipping but that would be much better!

[@samhowell7174]

Woobies?? How do you like them? Sizing true? Toe box ok?

[@solidus1995]

These jeans are more flexible than 5.11, that being said these actually got torn up on me. They began to split apart in multiple areas. The 5.11s sacrifice some stretch while still being maneuverable, yet they're more durable. I have vertx pants but I'd probably never wear them at work anymore.

[@carsonyoung9965]

With the stretch pants, can I carry Appendix without going up a size in the waist?

[@BLUELEADER78]

I would think it would be safe to do so. I found some four way stretch blue jeans at Sam's for $20. They fit well. I bought my usual size and have no issues carrying concealed. I use the Tier One Agis for my P30 and a spare mag holster. Very comfortable. Find a pair you like, buy them, wear them around the house for a few hours and if you don't like them, return them.

Hi Sam! Ive got a question about hemostat packing gauze and figured asking here would make it more visible since this is a newer video. I recently bought a few packs of Chitogauze XR, and I wanted to know how it compared to Celox or Quiklot. IIRC it's also TCCC approved but I might be wrong. Did I make the right choice in buying it?

[@TrueOpinion99]

Wore the Vertx Defiance pants for about 6-weeks and had the fabric start to tear near the rivets--I didn't do anything crazy in them, just everyday wear around town or at my college. For $80 pants, I'm not impressed; went back to regular blue jeans, I'm good enough with a sewing machine I just add in any extra pockets I want.

[@vitogriffin8902]

I bought 2 pairs of defiance jeans and some brown tac pant of theirs that I don't remember what they're called...all of them shredded at the knees and the back pockets within 3 months of purchase... They're garbage pants and if vertx didn't give them to KZbinrs for free then nobody would be pushing them.

I’m coming up on 4 years with my first pair of their pants (Delta 1.0) and I have yet to have any issues. Have had the jeans for about 2 years and I have one seem stretched at the back button 🤷‍♂️.

@@PrepMedic- Good for you? I'm not inclined to give your opinion on those pants any significant thought given my experience with them. I recently gave them a second chance this past fall and had the exact same issue with seam and fabric failure at usual stress points after only light-duty wear (I work in a school now). So, Vertx won't get any more of my hard earned money, despite your opinion of Vertx and their pants.

Maybe late to the game but…. Delta Stretch: not a stretch pant. They are 98% cotton and get stretched out and baggy after about 1 hour of wear. Pockets are awesome, material isn’t. Cutback SF: what delta stretch wishes it was. Material is great. Order waste one inch larger than your standard waste size. The ideal pant would be the delta stretch line made with the cutback SF material.
