Vertx – Kesher Pack

Vertx wanted to expand their tactical backpack line with a design that felt more feminine than their existing offerings, without sacrificing the functional, mission-ready features their customer base relies on. I designed the Kesher Pack from initial ideation through pattern creation and multiple rounds of sampling. The pack converts between a backpack and a left- or right-handed sling, with a concealed carry compartment accessible from either side. Interior MOLLE webbing, a laptop sleeve, and Tactigami™ compatible loop panels preserve the tactical functionality, while the silhouette and dual-flap closure options (Cordura or leather) bring a softer, more refined aesthetic. A tactical backpack that broadens Vertx's line to a more feminine customer without compromising on carry capacity, accessibility, or durability.
