Viktos Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag

Viktos is launching the new Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag, a low-profile, concealed-carry option for use in a variety of environments. Designed for everyday-carry practitioners and the concealed-carry community, the Counteract brings together gray man aesthetics with instant firearm readiness.

“Every day carry isn’t about broadcasting your preparedness—it’s about staying prepared while blending in,” said Perry Latuharhary, Marketing and Strategic Alliances at Viktos. “The Counteract CCW Crossbody delivers exactly that: low-visibility carry with zero compromise on performance.”

At first glance, the Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag looks like a camera bag, something subtle, compact and forgettable. However, in reality, it is a purpose-built CCW system engineered for fast access, rugged durability and everyday adaptability. Measuring just 7.5 inches high by 5 inches wide by 2.5 inches deep, the Counteract is built for subcompact pistols with a mounted optic.

The Tuff Hyde chassis of the Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag can handle rain, stains and daily abuse, while the innovative Outright tray slides out for fast, customized access to your firearm. The included Hookie Holster secures your pistol or your Kydex holster right where you need it to be. There is also a rear zippered compartment that provides discreet storage for phones, wallets and EDC essentials, keeping them close yet concealed.

The Counteract also includes an adjustable, removable shoulder strap for crossbody carry, along with rear belt loop straps for use with belts or larger packs and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag Features:

  • Low-visibility concealed-carry pistol bag with gray man aesthetics
  • Overall dimensions: 7.5 inches high x 5 inches wide x 2.5 inches deep
  • Weather and stain-resistant Tuff Hyde chassis
  • Slide-out Outright tray for custom loadout
  • Fits subcompact pistols with optics (will not fit full-size guns)
  • Included Hookie holster for firearm or Kydex holster
  • Rear zippered compartment for EDC/phone storage
  • Adjustable or removable shoulder strap
  • Rear belt loop straps for attaching to belt or larger pack
  • Designed and developed by U.S. veterans

The Counteract CCW Crossbody Bag has an MSRP of $70, and more information on this item as well as other products from Viktos is available at viktos.com.
