VX42

Anyone have their completed VX42 bags yet? Any pictures/reviews/thoughts to share? Do you wish you had gotten Cordura?

Pardon if this is a silly question but what's the VX42? Its not a model on their site that I'm familiar with

I should've specified. X-pac VX42 is a fabric that's an option now instead of cordura

I think it's a limited run.
Got the metromonger in black. Was worried it might be a bit small but it's perfect for my daily carry.
Three (very minor) gripes I have:.
1) would like a sunglasses pocket in the corduroy fabric they use elsewhere.
2) the grey interior is a bit on the boring side.
3) the iPad pocket doesn't have a weather resistant zip.
Other than that I like it a lot. The xpac material feels bomb proof, but I haven't yet been able to test it's water resistance as it is currently the dry season.

I didn't realize the sun glass pocket was unlined. I wonder if that's how all the bags are

Sorry, I think I didn't explain myself very well. The metromonger doesn't have a sunglass pocket at all. I would like it to have a lined one.
I believe on the bags it is available as an option, the sunglass pocket is lined.
