5.11 Tactical RUSH24 Backpack 37L Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@Porter4213]

I use this bag as my go to carry on bag when I fly. It can hold everything ! I went on a 4 day trip and was able to take everything I needed using the military roll of course to pack my clothes. The organization this bag has is second to none. It has a pocket for everything and it’s built to last forever. I only take a carry on when I fly if I can’t put it in the overhead bin it fits under the seat. Highly recommended

[@DarkestKnight2424]

What do you use as a rain cover for the bag? I looked in their website and they dont sell any rain cover for it

[@Porter4213]

@@DarkestKnight2424 I don’t use a rain cover the bag is water resistant but not water proof. I don’t see myself getting stuck in any downpours long enough for the bag to be drenched. I don’t go hiking or anything like that it’s just used as a travel carry on bag for when I go to Florida which I visit about 4 times a year

[@fabiandimaspratamathesecond]

It's recommended indeed. I own one. It can carry lot of things and still doesn't make the overall look of the bag too bulky, even for an Asian like me. I travel alot, with motorcycle across cities, or by airplane, or by ship across the islands.. this bag is just so good. I can also put morale patch on it, so the room for personalizations is plenty. The side buckle can be adjusted to allow the bag to be thinner and can be used for daily activities (for work, hangout, etc). Though, in my country, it's a bit overpriced.

[@karaoke888]

Will the bag fit underneath the front seat on an airplane flight or do you have to put it in the overhead compartment?

[@ashercortez3237]

5 11 has some great backpacks. I'd love to see something from Vanquest as well. Keep up the great work.

[@zzevv]

Used this bag years ago daily. I actually used to put my laptop in the framesheet compartment and worked very well. Having the laptop in the main compartment makes it hard to get out if you have other things in front of it.

[@tonedatruth]

how did it hold up i bought a bag similar to this but would want one that lasts longer as the zippers just fucked up

[@zzevv]

@@tonedatruth I sold mine and when the new owner got it washed it pretty much looked brand new. It's 1000D cordura so it'll take any abuse and hold up just fine. If you like the design then go for it! Quite affordable and is built really nice.

[@tonedatruth]

@@zzevv thanksss

[@tonedatruth]

@@zzevv if you dont mind me asking why did you sell?

[@zzevv]

@@tonedatruth 1000D cordura sticks dirt and dust like crazy due to how tight the weave is. I'm not someone who likes to clean stuff. But main reason was I wanted something more water resistant, as in wouldn't absorb water.

[@coreycollins5702]

This is a better review than 5-11’s own explanation. I may actually buy this bag now. Plenty of room for comms, magazines, and SBR, or Glock 40, with a laptop to boot.

[@wesleym7927]

This pack is second to none for the money!! I've had many high end packs but I strictly use 5.11 now!! Highly recommended anything 5.11

[@ric8167]

I got one. The top dual pockets are a bit of an odd design. Apart from that, great bag, would probably get through a nuclear war with minor wear and tear, but weighs a ton.

[@Cyan_Nightingale]

Odd design indeed. There is separator in the middle of it, so it's divided into two pockets and it's too small for smartphone or eyeglasses.

[@tudorgalatan1]

Well, let's see about the nuclear thing...

[@luckylucson]

It is a bit weird considering I have a rush 12 and it has a normal single big pocket on top which is more useful imo.

[@jootzman]

Thank you for this review. I just recently came across 5.11 and have been on the fence about it. This review really helped me consider the brand. Thanks!

[@FABBYFLAME]

idk why i watched this, ive had a 24 for two years now and just ordered the black versioin haha, i love these backpacks

[@PackHacker2]

Sounds like you're growing that pack collection there, Fabbyflame! Let us know how you get on with your new purchase when it arrives. 😀 - Rebecca

[@Mr.M3ATBAG]

Just bought this as early birthday gift to myself. Lol super stoked to get it! Thanks for the review!

[@darkstepwarrior88]

Very helpful, all the pockets have their own special purpose

[@wildman473]

I would never put my wallet, keys and phone in a pocket on my backpack. My god that’s scary to think it can be taken without you knowing.

[@nikolasmetalupyourass4820]

I am so happy ,i bought 2 days ago this beauty in a sandstone colour.....a really BADASS backpack

[@PackHacker2]

Nice! Let us know how you get on with it, Nikolas. 🙌 - Rebecca

[@random_julian]

if you are a tall person, and strong, this size may be a good option, if you are small person and not so strong :))) with things inside, it is a heavy pack, for town but especially for camping and also it is expensive one, From my experience with this pack i can say that yes, it is a quality one for materials, but the acces it is not so simple, the ziipers are quality. For a small person in city, it is a big pack, are a lot of others veersions of backpacks in Decathlon for example, cheapper, also quality and more practical and a lot easier.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing, Lulian 😃 -Eric

[@warpedone2]

Thanks for filming

[@Mark-nm1oj]

I own the rush 12 myself and I find it a little. Small so I'm looking for larger bags for travel and camping. But I'd just like to say something about the "air channels" on the back of the bag, they do not work.. No airflow whatsoever and simply does not work.. I preassume that's the same for all the rush bags since they all have the same design

[@Legionnaire7777]

Their a total sweat box on your back, it's terrible especially if your moving at pace etc.

[@Legionnaire7777]

I ended up selling mine on and replaced it with a Blackhawk Cyclone pack, it's miles better and comes with a bladder and chunky waistbelt if you need to add serious weight in it, and the back of the pack has a memory foam sort of back panel that is breathable unlike the 5.11 rush 12. Also an admin panel in one of the pockets on the outer of the bag is totally removable via hook and loop and frees up more space should you need it, it's a much better pack all round.

[@Cyan_Nightingale]

Rush 12 is too small for camping. But enough for daily uses & to carry laptop.. for classes, for work, for hangout.

[@tbpom1003]

awesome review buddy, keep it up!

[@Newyorkian2023]

Amazing back pack

[@zukicat]

When you put a water bottle in the side pouch, does it push in and take up space in the main compartment or is the side pouch sewed on to and sticking out from the side of the pack, adding volume to the main part of the bag?

[@allan4128]

Do the Kindly do the Rush 12

[@user-xp8wh9gp5t]

I'm hesitating, I don't know whether to buy the 24 or the 12 for all in general and the gym.

[@zackwilliamson1024]

Great review! All round, what is your opinion on 1050 nylon vs 1000 Cordora? Kind regards from the uk

[@Misterion25]

Pretty sweet bag, affordable too.

[@mopseydocks6014]

I've used the RUSH 12 back as a weekend/overnight bag for over a decade. It's fantastic.

[@DarkestKnight2424]

What do you use for a rain cover? They dont sell a rain cover on their website I like this 24 one and the 72 I do like maxpedition bags But honestly they look almost the same quality But this one is more affordable. I am willing to buy a maxpedition but if I can find a rain cover for this bag then ill just buy this bag

[@mopseydocks6014]

I don't have a rain cover for it. If it gets wet, it gets wet. I don't spend much time outside with it. As for rain covers, there are a bunch of companies that sell rain covers for their bags. Might want to research it and see what would fit.

[@dimasarayan2327]

@@DarkestKnight2424 u can try buying at a decathlon store,they sell a spare of rain cover considered as universal

[@DarkestKnight2424]

@@dimasarayan2327 thanks I ended up buying the rush 12! It's small but not too small almost the size of a normal backbag but I do plan on buying the 24 in the future

[@olivemartini69]

Great review! Thank you

[@mikemph7779]

I’m interested in a backpack this size and strength but desire fewer pockets. What would you recommend??

[@mundo31679]

What size laptop are you carrying? I am wondering if a 16” MacBook will fit.

[@diego7399]

That will fit!

[@DarkestKnight2424]

Hi! What do you use for a rain cover ??? I like this bag and I would much rather buy this over a maxpedition or Osprey day pack

[@beadbuddies]

Great question- any answers?

[@zukicat]

Generic rain covers are fairly cheap on Amazon. They come in a variety of sizes and colors.

[@haleanonymous]

thanks very helpful

[@PackHacker2]

You got it! - Rebecca

[@Tancred2494]

I've stopped using my bag as the harness/shoulder straps are incredibly uncomfortable. Has anyone else found this and is there a way to solve the problem?

[@1971ChevelleSS]

Thinking of using the 24 for a Euro backpack trip. Does anyone else have experience?

[@dudditz]

Wich got more space in maincompartment... This bag or havoc 30?

[@ernster500]

Couldn't you put a laptop in the hydration compartment?

[@cmcc4567]

Yes you can. I have a Razer 14 inch, 2017 that fits just nicely

[@anthonygomez446]

I got the 72 hour and it's too big for me lol

[@peaceandlove9407]

Is this good for MacBook 16”?

[@peaceandlove9407]

Thank you very much

[@Yaxqb]

Whats the main difference to the 2.0 version?

[@kxngandalcio125]

Is this bag good for someone in IT?

[@xcd87]

how water resistant is it??

[@luckylucson]

if you're going through a drizzle or running through rain to get to say a parking lot it's fine. But the material itself isn't that water resistant and from my use seems to absorb water if there's a lot. I would suggest getting some form of rain cover if you really wanna be safe.

[@hochigaming14yearsago90]

The division 2?

[@elflakeador09]

Do these come with a hip belt? Or do they just come with space to attatch one

[@whosregis]

4:53 there's 2 clips where you can attach a hip belt

[@CowboyinDallas94]

If you are gonna actually use this bag instead of just trying to look tactical, it’s hotter than hell on your back. Don’t get it.

[@silvanigra]

Great pack, but I don't like those "draining" holes. I'd rather have a waterproof material on the bottom, since nobody intends to let so much water get in their pack anyway as to need draining holes. That would mean all your stuff is completely wet and probably ruined anyway. A rain cover is much more useful.

[@peaceandlove9407]

Hey guys! What is the best tactical bag to get for a 16” MacBook? Thanks

[@ladyglittersparkles86]

I have a 16 MacBook and got this backpack, I’m hoping it fits

[@MegaPills1]

Didn’t even show the hidden compartment. Or maybe you don’t know about the hidden compartment?

[@TonyMacpherson]

It’s v1

[@MrDeeds-fe9vg]

They'll quit making them in a few more years

[@MrLuffy9131]

I think next year lol

[@warlantactical]

Couple things why would you want to tuck your straps on a tactical pack its not designed to be carried on a armor carrier Shoulder strap release points are for ditching the pack no need to. Clip them into something else take a look at first tactical for that tactix pack The compression straps are multi purpose made to squeeze gear down Also to allow you to partial open the pack for weapons etc It takes a 15” not larger lap top This pack was designed for responders not for travel When influencers do reviews keep that it mind when adding the product to a category place it correctly and do a video on what it ia designed for because you are reducing its designed rating . Also you mentioned lower compression straps just get the $9 tag along 511 straps for that and get yourself a hip belt as well If you are not a warrior please do not do reviews on gear that you do not know its true function it makes your video cringe

[@jt6761]

Damn it looks small

[@fabiandimaspratamathesecond]

It is actually big when fully loaded. Though not as big as Rush 72.

[@dalechappy1548]

Did you make it thru army ranger school?
