Here's why you need this pack - 5.11 Tactical Rush 100 backpack

[@LindsayRobertson-xu6ko]

Had a Rush 72 since 2012. Bought it second hand. Taken it to mine sites, on planes with rough as guts baggage handlers, camping, kayaking and on holidays. Used it to carry all sorts of odd shaped stuff. I think its totally made 1050 D nylon when I read the spec. Starting to fray very slightly in places due to some of the loads I subjected it to. Never ever let me down. Fantastic layout and access points. Have attached lots of Mollie accessories. I have a hydration bladder fitted as well. Zippers absolutely solid as a rock. I own other 5.11 tactical bags/backpacks and stuff and cannot begin to say how awesome this gear is. Tuff as nutts and not as expensive as other backpacks in a similar class. Looking to buy a Rush100. Highly recommended. I must say though I hope 5.11 continue to produce the standards they have set and do not succumb to lowering the quality.

[@toddhacker8867]

Bought a Rush 24 in 2017 before deploying to the middle east, fantastic pack. Been in multiple countries and still no issues with it. Absolutely no regrets. Such a good pack I bought the Rush 12, another 24, 72, and 100.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Firstly, glad to hear you made it home brother 🤙 I think you get your card stamped if you have the full set 😂 I think the Rush series proves that 5.11 did the super rare thing and hit the nail on the head first time round. They tried to innovate with their AMP series and realised they have the perfect bag with the Rush. They recently shelved the AMP bags

[@Airbornealltheway88]

Would you use it for hiking/backpacking? Just wondering because I’m looking into getting an osprey

[@DarkFire515]

Out of all the packs & bags I've had over the past 25 years the only ones that have simply refused to die no matter how much I've overloaded and / or abused them have been my 5.11 packs. Absolutely bomb proof. Can't imagine this one is any different. If I was looking for a larger pack this would be my 1st choice. Great review!

[@andrewczuba498]

I have a rush12, a rush 24 and a rush 72. I got them all quite a few years ago. I bought them originally to use a "go bags" for my truck etc. but recently I've begun to use them for hiking and camping. They are all very comfortable and durable for sure! 👍👍

[@Mugwumps107]

At last a decent review by a decent reviewer of the 100, I’ve been waiting since it’s launching some years ago. It’s a hell of a chunk of money for the likes of myself to just chuck at a piece of kit for it to not be up to the job.

[@soloman01uk]

Awesome review buddy. I bought this pack because of your review. I already own the Rush 24 and 72 plus the MOAB etc. All top quality bags but I was going to London for 4 days so needed something bigger. Just got back and this bag was amazing. The amount of stuff it held was ridiculous. Comfortable to carry. Absolute game changer. Even had room to fit my 5.11 Surplus Jacket in as it was too warm to wear it.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Great to hear the content helped. Hope you have some awesome adventures with it

[@joeybraghieri]

I am thinking about purchasing this pack. I absolutely love 5.11 Tactical. I have used the 5.11 Tactical Sierra Bravo Duty Belt for about 2 years now and it’s a great item. My uniform pants are also 5.11 Tactical and they are very high quality. Great company overall.

[@solsurvivor5899]

I got one of these last week for a trip I’m going on, haven’t put it to the test yet but I think I’ll be pleased. I’ve been using a rush 72 for 10 years and it’s still in great condition. Can’t wait to use this.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

The Rush 72 is the missing link for me. I've tried them all apart form that one. Maybe I should get my actin gear and get one 😆 Safe travels buddy

[@diverdave641]

Great review, I've had a Rush 24 for about 11 years now, amazing bag that refuses to die, even after harsh use in the mines here in Western Australia. I think the Rush 100 will be my goto for hiking, thansk for the review.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

You're more than welcome buddy. Safe travels

[@skyecraper]

Carried once in my Rush 24 about 140 pounds of metal.Had to put some cardboard and a sheet of OSB on the bottom,on the inside so that i won't rip the stiches. Defo felt like hauling a injured guy just with all the weight localized in a smaller spot.Did that for a few miles. The backpack looks as good as new after almost 10 years of beating on it and as i said,i didn't baby it. Now i'm not sure the lighter,newer ones with 500D and 700D would be able to stand that but my old Rush 24 is a beast.

[@Colddirector]

I don't have a Rush 100, but I've still got my Rush 24, it's undergone pretty heavy (ab)use for the past 3 years with only superficial tearing around the shoulder straps. Darned thing has had the crap beaten out of it and been saddled with weight well above its paygrade, and it's held together. I can't say it looks like new because of just how rough i am with it but it looks damned good for what it's been through. Great gear, I'd be tempted to say they're Buy It For Life if you treat yours better than I have mine (not hard, believe me). Oh the MOLLE webbing is so, so useful. I know it looks wierd to walk through the city with a military looking backpack with a MOLLE water bottle pouch on one side and a first aid pouch on the other side (started putting those in every pack i have after a pretty bad injury last year), and a jacket rolled up like a bedroll underneath. But it's just so darned functional I can hardly care.

[@anangryranger]

Wow! That pack is a hoss! (Hoss is Texan for big, bad, and brutal). If I was still backpacking and such, this appears to be one I'd go for. Thanks for the information and review.👍

[@colinjarvis2739]

Hi Mr Moorlander,nice review but i must point out that where the pockets are attached the clips are split and so you can quite quickly detach them without unthreading the whole strap from the buckles and i would of liked it even more if you'd shown the big organisational pocket on the front. Ive added my subscription as whatever you review seems right up my street😊.

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Nice gear mi friend. That would be very useful for hammock camping,i can see that fitting in for that type of camping. Thanks for sharing buddy. Tc Andy

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Having just been sent a load of hammock stuff from Snugpak I'll definitely be use this bag for that 🤙

Interesting pack, I already have the Rush 72 but for bigger I've chosen a Karrimor Sabre 60-100

[@davidhudson7590]

I went with 60 to 100 but looked at the 5.11 100 also

[@bvdb744]

Hiya, love the video again! Do you reckon they'll be making a 2.0 version anytime soon👀

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Thank you. I'm sure they'll do an update at some point. With this being a newly released pack, I'm not sure if an update will be here soon. 5.11 aren't the fastest at updating their gear

[@davidhudson7590]

My rush 12 is a real workhorse of a pack but went with sabre packs for bigger packs but was thinking about that 1

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I was looking at some Karrimor packs the other day. I've had lots of them in the past so it's weird I've never made any content on them. I think I need to pull my thumb out :D

[@mungo75]

Go for Karrimor SF over the basic Karrimor brand, but I guess you know that. 😄

[@fromthe4gotten]

I've owned this pack before, and I'm on the fence for getting another one or the Vanquest Markhor 45. The Vanquest is just so expensive.

[@lillebrornmb]

i have Rush 24 from when they came out in the dawn of time

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Archaeologists have found fossils of them in perfect condition 😂

[@lillebrornmb]

@@MoorlanderEDC tried to send you little video of my rush. But don't believe it sent it. It is 12 years old.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

@@lillebrornmb would love to see that. I know these bags can take some serious abuse

[@lillebrornmb]

Hey Mr Moorlander i have uploadet a short video for you with my pack😉 I do not have yours video wizard power as you do.

[@yeoldtroll1355]

On the 5.11 site it states those side pouches become their own pack if you remove them!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It does? I can't work out how, although I guess if you have some spare straps you could Jerry rig something up, but you could do that with any large pouch

[@yeoldtroll1355]

@MoorlanderEDC upon my investigation into it, it looks like it's intended to become a "satchel" type of pack.

[@mpyraxs8549]

I have some older 5.11 gear and yes they do last but their older stuff is completely made of 1000 denier material not just in some areas of the pack like what they are now. So the question is are the new packs which are mostly 500 denier as durable and rugged as the older packs.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's a fair question. I've found 500d is still pretty tough. I think a larger bag like this would be great in 1000d however that would definitely add to the weight overall

[@maxrekorz500]

had a 5.11 pants and platecarrier, went through hell, still last

[@davidgreatestkingofisrael1181]

Great video as always. Just wondering does the ranger green color look like the green on rush 24 2.0? Because in this video rush 100 looks like a washed out green. Can’t really decide between coyote and green.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hi buddy. Sorry for the delay. Yes, the Ranger Green is identical as they're made from the same material. I changes my cameras between filming the Rush 24 and Rush 100 content which might have made them look slightly different. I hope that helps

[@jason7033]

This is awesome pack. Very comfortable. Love how big it is. However, it's very heavy for a bag. Those side pocket are worthless. They flop around too much. I tossed them out as well the aluminum frame to cut weight

[@AndRei-yc3ti]

Can this bag fit under a seat on a budget airline? I need it for clothing/laptop/future potential camping trips

[@TonyShowMe]

Would you recommend this backpack for a traveler that likes backpacking around different countries? And how many pieces of clothing and shoes do you think it would fit?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's a yes and no kind of answer. They're a great tough pack that will last a lifetime however the 1000d material is very heavy. You could 100% use this bag to travel with. I'd recommend checking our companies like Osprey, Thule or Deuter. They're much lighter and are better suited. Hope that helps

[@TonyShowMe]

Thanks a lot for the reply! It is very helpful!@@MoorlanderEDC

[@snappyturtle1018]

thinking of getting this or the eberlestock little brother. This is the same price with more space but I have heard great things about eberlestock as a brand. Thoughts?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I'd say this is a reasonably easy answer. The Rush is great however it's not an Eberlestock bag. I think both bags will last a life time however the Eberlestock has the technical merit. They're amazing bags carrying weight over long distances with a God tier strap system. That's not hating on the 5.11 packs however Eberlestock are a higher level. Hope that helps. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on whichever you pick up

[@snappyturtle1018]

@@MoorlanderEDC Appreciate it! Think I will go with the little brother.

[@snappyturtle1018]

@@MoorlanderEDC Well, I went with the eberlestock halftrack. Got it today. Seems really high quality and am loving it so far. The main thing I have to say for it is that the space in it feels so much bigger than what it really is. I can fit almost everything that fits in my 65L in it somehow. I dont know if it just uses its space more efficiently or what, but so far it is exceeding all expectations.

[@northernsurvivalbackcountr4986]

Great review looks like an amazing pack but no pockets on bottom on sides for water bottles or to put a butt of a rifle in there or ain't no scabbard in front for a firearm ? Otherwise looks great thx bro

[@AndRei-yc3ti]

Use the side floppy pockets for eater bottle and the slot between the pockets on the side for a rifle. It fits a mossberg wuite nicely from what ive seen in other reviews

[@lornelorne5727]

What do you think of the Helikon Groundhog backpack for an EDC bag?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I haven't picked that one up... yet 😆

[@Ayns.L14A]

£229 for the Rush100 60ltr............or £70 for a 100 ltr for a Brit mil issue long back bergen..........Ive been using mine since the late 1989 (17 years, multiple operational tours) but it's still going strong....

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Well, I can't argue with you there. There's some amazing ex forces kit out there. Some people prefer to buy new and might miss out

[@john-oj1oj]

Taking a shot at maybe you or a viewer can answer this, I metal detect and I’m looking for a back pack that fits the legend inside that’s not enormous this looks like it might work like I said just taking a shot at it thanks

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I think this pack will be perfect for that. The belt does an amazingjob of lifting some weight from your shoulders so walking with it on doesn't strain as much

[@SINBREAKER24]

i wish it came in multicam. 5.11 HEAR MY PLEAD!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Yep, they need to sort that out

[@DWebbTheOldHead]

I own the Rush 12, 24, and 72. On the fence about purchasing the 100 because of one thing………is it TSA compliant for international travel? Great review, my man. 🍻

[@MoorlanderEDC]

You're more than welcome buddy. It's compliant in the fact it can be added to the hold. It's definitely too large to be carried as carry on... Although, I've seen people massively push their luck and walk onto planes with backpacks this size and bigger. I guess it's all down to the person on the front deck

[@DWebbTheOldHead]

@@MoorlanderEDC~ appreciate that bit of knowledge. I guess I’ll go right on ahead and purchase this beast. When the time comes for me to use it for my international travel, then I’ll just have to roll the bones. 🍻

[@MoorlanderEDC]

@@DWebbTheOldHead I hope the bone land favourably for you buddy 🤙 safe travels

[@AndRei-yc3ti]

​@MoorlanderEDC do you think if you remove the aluminum frame and the side pockets it would be suitable for a budget airline and fit under the seat? I need it to fit my laptop (heavy 15 inch with chonky cables), clothing and potentially use it for future camping trips

[@scktdg]

Is this backpack allowed inside the plane?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Strictly speaking no. It's too large for carry on and not TSA compliant... however, I've seen lots of people when I've travelled with bags this large and they've been allowed on with them. It's a weird one really. I hope that helps

[@scktdg]

@@MoorlanderEDC Yess this is very true!! That is why I am asking. Because I have seen a lot of people travelling with backpacks even bigger than this. I love this backpack and has everything that I need, but if I am not allowed to travel with this would have been a failure to me buying it 😮‍💨

What pants are you wearing??

[@MoorlanderEDC]

They are my top pants of 2023. The Wolf pants from Pentagon Tactical. Out of all the pants/trousers I tested last year, these are the ones I wear the most. Love them - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKK6fKWkj898atU

[@nurshamiawildjourney9845]

Waterproof?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

To a small degree. It's has a DWR coating so will keep things dry in a mild to mid shower

[@mattsmith6828]

Everything was so awesome until you showed how the back straps connect to the backpack. No backup buckle to ensure it stays connected??? Velcro doesn't last forever....... WTF?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's definitely a different approach. Hopefully the load adjusters help. With the other packs out there I think they could have spent a wee bit more time thinking it through

[@Airbornealltheway88]

That’s the only thing stopping me from buying this pack is the velcro. I’m looking into getting an osprey and I went to try it on, it’s seems built better for this situation. Minus the durability of the rush 100.
