Fechheimer VERTX Flies Under the Radar

News August 26 2009

— By Jeanette K.

Fechheimer has joined the fray with their take on tactical pants, which they have dubbed VERTX. The premise behind the first pant in this line, the VTX1000, is a covert appearance without sacrificing any functionality. The idea is similar to Blackhawks TNT (tactical non-tactical) pant, which makes for easy blending in amongst civilians.

The design of this pant was led by Arc’Teryx, who are known for their functional outerwear, climbing gear, and packs. That’s means a lot of design expertise has been brought to this pant, and it shows with such niceties as hidden pockets, articulated knees, and a back pocket credential trap.

Retailers are selling the VERTX VTX1000 for less than $50, and the are available right now in Black, Desert Tan, Khaki, Navy, and OD Green.
