Premier Body Armor Inserts Featured in Pew Pew Tactical’s Overview of Vertx Urban Ghost CCW Bags

November 25, 2024

We’re excited to share a new spotlight from Pew Pew Tactical, where Scott Murdock examines the Vertx Urban Ghost product line—discreet CCW bags designed to handle firearms, body armor, and daily essentials without drawing unnecessary attention. The article also calls out Premier Body Armor’s Level IIIA inserts as a worthwhile upgrade for enhanced personal protection.

Overview of the Article

Murdock’s review centers on two new additions from Vertx—the Urban Ghost Backpack (20L) and the Urban Ghost Sling (10L)—both built with low-profile, off-body carry in mind. Key takeaways include:

1. Subtle, Everyday Aesthetic

   • The bags forego overt tactical branding, sporting water- and tear-resistant materials while blending naturally into casual settings.

2. Flexible CCW Compartment

   • Designed to accommodate full-size or compact handguns, each bag provides a hidden space for quick access.
   • Vertx’s Rapid Access Tab simplifies opening the CCW compartment.

3. Comfort & Organization

   • Padded panels and adjustable straps support day-to-day usability, whether you’re commuting or tackling outdoor adventures.
   • A dedicated laptop sleeve in the backpack and tablet sleeve in the sling bag make them useful for school, work, or travel.

4. Premier Body Armor’s Level IIIA Inserts

   • Premier Body Armor offers inserts specifically sized for the Urban Ghost series.
   • These panels provide ballistic protection against common handgun threats, all within the bag’s existing footprint.

Murdock appreciates how well these discreet carry bags handle inclement weather and rough usage—while still offering rapid firearm access if the need arises.

Final Thoughts from the Article

“Premier Body Armor sells Level IIIA inserts specifically developed for each bag. It’s either an expensive upgrade or an extremely cheap form of health insurance depending on how you look at it.”
— Scott Murdock, Pew Pew Tactical

Both the Urban Ghost Backpack (MSRP: $174.99) and Urban Ghost Sling (MSRP: $124.99) showcase Vertx’s knack for blending practicality, understated design, and CCW capability. Adding Premier Body Armor’s panels further increases peace of mind for those seeking off-body carry solutions.
