5.11 Tactical Backpack, RUSH 12 2.0 Military Survival Molle Backpack with Laptop Compartment, 24L, Style 56561ABR/56562ABR

I bought one of these for my girlfriend’s son as I have had one for over ten years and with constant use it is still in great shape and doing the job. I am an off and on fan of 5.11 as some of their products are garbage.The Rush series of backpacks are solid. I have the 12, 24 and 48 and would have loved one of these over the ALICE pack I used in the Marines over thirty years ago. The pack is solid, has very comfortable straps and a variety of pockets that allow for various loadouts.The top zippered pocket is micro fleece lined to protect lenses in safety and sun glasses, the ability to add a water bladder is great and there’s enough room in the 12 for an overnight change of clothes, several hundred rounds of ammo or a stack of books.

Ok, here is my first write-up of what is already a really highly rated bag. I use this for EDC to work; in the car, it seems to have a pocket for everything I need. It fits comfortably and is easy to use and maneuver. This is very well constructed. no issues at all. The padding in the shoulder straps and back is really comfortable. With the versatile MOLLE system, I purchased a water bottle pouch for my Yeti that keeps it off the side, secure, yet easy to access when needed.

Originally got the rush 12, decided it was pointlessly small for a camping day travel pack and got the rush 24.It's got everything I need, good admin section, versatile all over, sturdy enough to throw heavy weights in for rucking, and a decent sized CCW section.

Lots of storage options to put gear in. Build quality seems top notch. Only wish is a little more padding to hold a tablet or laptop but that's any easy fix adding some foam. So far all the gear I have gotten from 5.11 brand seems to be well thought out and quality.

I've heard that the quality of some 511 Tactical items can be questionable, but I can say that I feel the RUSH series packs are very nice. The material is heavy, the stitching seems strong and tight, the zippers appear heavy duty, and it has a lot of room. I especially like the hidden pouch designed for handguns. It holds my Glock 22 with room to spare. It is secured by a velcro closure and can be accessed quickly. Very nice. I have two of these and am very happy with my purchases. God bless!

This is my second 5.11 pack and I will likely never need to buy another. My other one is a RUSH 72 and too large a fishing pack. The 12 is perfect for a day or overnight bag for one person.It’s probably too small for a full change of clothes as well as other essentials for the road, but I fit my poncho, liner, socks and. Shirt as well as some fishing tackle and basic outdoor gear like a small tarp and some fire starting items.If you need a travel bag even for just a night or 2, I’d go with the RUSH 24. The 12 is perfect for a day pack though and these things are bulletproof. (Not literally, don’t shoot it) they are so well made and last forever. My other one is about 10 years old and still going strong.

Multifunctional, great product, nice and tough.

Top of the line this is the best backpack. I’ve owned very very good high-quality material straps feels very comfortable.
