@@GearReviewDepot Hi there i bought the rush24 I am not disappointed but bought it really as a backup and let's say something that will be in demand if the SHTF and would cost a premium! Which backpack do you suggest for someone who likes the long backpack for keeping tools in like detectors and forks,,,if that isn't to odd a question....lol..

I don't often comment on videos, but I feel compelled to do so on this one. Your presentation is excellent. The video was well lit and in focus where many are not. You did not waste time with the typical "look what's in MY bag" off topic nonsense. Comparing the three bags side by side is an excellent idea and I greatly appreciate it. Going to a website and moving from page to page just is not the same as you have so nicely done for us here. Thank you for the video.

Great showing man

[@redderm]

Well, I watched this video at least once before, when I was agonizing over the perfect backpack to buy. I'm drunk and sour, so there's lot's of unpleasant things I wanna say to anyone that will listen, but I won't, because I'd love to buy this dude a beer. He really helped me figure out what I wanted. this is the best backpack I've ever had. I just got back from south america (I put it through a decent bit of abuse before that) for six months. This was my edc to the extent that I cant really stop taking it with me everywhere, even though I dont think I need it. This is a great backpack, and I cant wait to buy the other two. thanks homes

Thank you Marcel, I'm glad I was able to help. Be well and stay safe my friend.

[@markdevries8975]

a couple of years ago i've watched this video to see which pack i wanted. unfortunately i lost my pack due to asbestos contamination, and i now have to get myself a new one. watching this video again to see if i should go a size up or if i should buy the same one again. Thanks again for this great video =)

Great video. Thank you for all the in depth information regarding these bags. I've purchased all 3 and they are incredible bags, continue making great videos

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@selfdefensept]

Thank you so much for this review. I just got my Rush 24 2.0 yesterday and I was having some buyer’s regret thinking I should have gotten the 72. Mind you I use my backpack primarily as an EDC bag. Your review however, convinced me that the 72 really is a little too big for an EDC. If you need more room, you should just buy another bag in addition to your EDC bag, but clearly based on your review, if you could only buy one of the three to use both for some hiking, and as an EDC bag for work, the 24 appears to be the one. Liked & Subscribed.

I have a 24, been wanting a 12. This made up my mind. Thanks for great video

Hi Tim, I've ordered a rush 72 from a supplier from the uk ( TacTree ). Just like to say thanks for your help and advice with the rush 72 bag. Keep up the great videos. Cheers again. 👍😊

Hi Ian, I hope you snagged their Halloween deal. I would up with a 72 Sandstone in addition to a 12 in double tap. I love the Sandstone colour though.. so may switch that 12 out.. I'm not sure. I'm on the fence.

Awesome! Glad to hear it helped. Thanks for stopping by.

[@JimmyD_C172]

Thank you for taking the time to record the video. I've been looking at the 72 online. I also like the PALS options. My concern is the yoke system and me being 6'4". My current "trunk" bag rides too low on my back and is uncomfortable.The Kelty's have the adjustable yoke but no PALS.

[@GearReviewDepot]

I completely agree with your concern. If you where to buy the pack directly from 5.11 you have I think 30 days to return it if you're not happy with it. You'll pay a bit more than place like eBay or Amazon but at least you know you have the option of returning should it not fit well.

[@ManuelHernandez-ek4nw]

Thank you for the video.

[@throughthestorm3852]

Can you make a video using the 72 and 24 as carry on luggage, to see how much clothes will fit on it.

[@GearReviewDepot]

It’s very unlikely I’ll have the time to put together that video. But, it’s been a very long time since I’ve flown anywhere (26 years) and I can say the 72 loaded out wouldn’t be allowed as carry on. I used packs the size of the 24 many times as carry on but I also traveled with very little. Very very little.

[@justalurkr]

Apparently, anything tactical looks "too big" on a woman in midtown. I'm 5'10"/220 and have gotten offers to carry a pack comparable to the 12 for me, along with hesitant questions along the lines of "isn't that kind of...big?" No, doofus; it's not big, it's serious! I've always wondered if I'd get the same reactions with a tactical bag in pink instead of black or olive!

[@GearReviewDepot]

justalurkr I personally like the "tactical" look but it all comes down to usefulness, if the pack serves a purpose then I'm on board. Luckily I don't care how it looks or what people think, if they don't like how it looks then don't look! Lol As long as you're happy with it and it serves you well, then I say run with it. Can a pack be pink but still considered "tactical" looking? lol

[@justalurkr]

TheTacticalDefender I will never know because I'd rather schlep a tote than anything pink. We never had to evacuate the building in a real emergency or they would have appreciated that mean looking bag a lot more. I carry a trauma kit and a pry bar, among other useful things. Good vid on the Rush series, thanks!

[@GearReviewDepot]

justalurkr Thank you!

[@TheGuiii77]

Merci d'avoir fait une comparaison entre ces 3 sacs !

[@GearReviewDepot]

👍🙂

[@pastortlc1]

Great comparison video. I just ordered the 72. Did I miss it or did you point out the waist strap on the 72 and the big pocket in between the front & main picket? Also, what pouch are you using for your first aid kit? By the way, I am a diabetic on insulin too. Thanks for a great video. Oh, and Ii use the 5.11 covert 18 as my EDC bag. It has a concealed carry pocket. Kinda in between the Rush 12 & 24.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thanks for stopping by! For my diabetes kit I'm using the PPM-HUGE 2.0: Personal Pocket Maximizer Organizer from Vanquest and my med kits for EDC pack as well as my hiking packs are the FATPacks (Gen-2): First Aid Trauma Packs also from Vanquest.

[@scoobysnacks332]

Rush 💯 is incoming hope to see a video on that pack... I have all three of those packs already in multicam

[@bimdynamics6406]

Great review thank you. Question: What bag are you using for EDC now?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Raúl Quintana I'm using the RUSH12 as my edc pack.

[@bimdynamics6406]

Trying to get an admin pouch (mini kit) to transfer all my essentials. Between the 72 and the Havok 30’ otter tails. Any suggestions?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Raúl Quintana Not sure how big you're looking to get for that pouch but I use multiple pouches from Vanquest, actually all my pouches are Vanquest pouches.

[@bimdynamics6406]

TheTacticalDefender I am trying to organize maps, and field stuff, masks gloves mini med kit and maybe 550 paracord. My current field bag is a sling and as much as I don’t like the sling the bag organization is great. But it’s standing a bit too bulky.

[@GearReviewDepot]

I carry in my EDC pack 3 Vanquest pouches. One pouch has my Diabetes supplies, the second pouch has a first aid kit in it and the third pouch has stuff like charging cables, a Anker battery, a light, a few extra batteries and an extra SD card along with some other things. All three pouches are the same size and color but I have different color velcro strips that let me know what's in the pouch. I have a red velcro strip for the med pouch, a white strip for my Diabetes pouch and a yellow strip for the cables, batteries pouch. Works well so far, been using this system for about 2 years now with very little changes.

[@fran7688]

Hi, loved the review, very complete. I have one question tho; I'm a student and I have been looking for a nice backpack that will last long and that I could use for everything in my daily routine: Going to school (Carrying books, pencil case, laptop...), to the Gym, shopping... as I use every day my bike to go everywhere so I need it to be secure, comfortable and well tight to my body. I have been thinking of getting either the Rush 12 (Which I think it might be a little bit small) or the 24. Wich one do you recommend me ? Could I fit a 15" MacBook Pro in both backpacks ? P.S. I'm 6 feet tall and weight 160 pounds. (Male)

[@GearReviewDepot]

Franky I'm sure the 12 would work I feel you could possibly run out of room in the near future. The 24 is a little big for edc/school but being as tasll as you are it would carry better on your back and you'll never have a need for more room.

[@fran7688]

Thank you very much ! But could you fit a 15" Mac in the Rush 12 ? This is turning into one of the most difficult decisions of my life XD. 12 or 24 ? Could I carry I my gym clothes and shoes plus my laptop and all my school material (books, etc...) at the same time in the Rush 12 ? Or is the 24 better for that ?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Franky Definitely the 24 is the way to go. A 15" laptop would fit in the 12 alone but as you fill the pack with other items it will get tight in there. The 24 would allow for more room for the laptop. Have you looked at the packs from Vanquest? They make great gear.

[@fran7688]

Ok thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help. My other option was the Direct Action Dragon Egg Mk2 but it "only" has 25 L of capacity which has the same capacity has the Rush 12 (24 L, practically the same), so based on what you are telling me, my more than sure final choice is the Rush 24. Better to be able to share space than to ask for space. Thanks !!!

[@vitalicomedy]

Francesco hey, so did you bought the 24? And are you happy with it?

[@ianhoward3417]

Hi Tim, I've spoken to you before on your advise on the 72 to tack to Australia,I've just found out that we've got 30kg in weight so just wondering how heavy the 24 and 72 are as I'm undecided which to get. Thanks in advance. Ian

[@GearReviewDepot]

Hi Ian, This is something I have been wondering myself. lol I just spoke with someone at 5.11 and I was told the RUSH24 is 3.90 lbs. and the RUSH72 is 4.0 LBS. Hope this helps.

[@atrapp27]

I may have missed it in the video, but what kind of case is your medkit?

[@GearReviewDepot]

I'm currently using the FATPack 5X8 (Gen-2): First Aid Trauma Pack made by Vanquest.

[@kenvo2463]

Guys please help. I would like to buy a set of waist belt for Rush 24 but can’t find it anywhere.

[@GearReviewDepot]

It's not a weight bearing belt... it's just a 1.5 inch nylon "belt" that keeps the pack from moving around while on your back. I just looked on Amazon and typed in 'backpack belt" and there was a lot available. Also look at some other Tactical gear websites... they may sell something that'll work.

[@GearReviewDepot]

On Amazon type in "Backpack Waist Belt Universal Fit Military Buckles Made in USA" from Fire Force. They have tan that'll match up nicely.

[@kenvo2463]

That's the exact reason that made me get the 24 instead of the 12. Just ordered a 24.

[@jeffreyschmidt2150]

I own a 24, but plan on getting a 72. Hands down, these packs are absolutely fantastic in terms of durability. I have used a 24 for 3-4 years non stop, every day, for work and it looks as good today as the day I bought it. While I wish these packs had an additional secondary zipper pouch, nevertheless I love these packs. These packs will last a lifetime - just like the old vintage Kelty backpacks they used to use climbing Everest.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Absolutely! I review a lot of backpacks and these are a keeper. I'm a big Vanquest fan but the RUSH line from 5.11 are no doubt great backpacks. Thanks for stopping by. 👊

Great overview mate, i own the 12 and the 24, the 12 is perfect for day hikes, the 24 is perfect for an overnight camp, the webbing gives so many attachment options. I use a 3 litre source bladder in both the 12 and the 24 and it fits fine.

This is by far the best review on this series of packs. Thank you for the time you took to completely cover every nook and cranny of each individual pack. I was ALMOST ready to order the 12 until I watched this video. I think the 24 will be a more versatile bag serving as a hunting, bug out, and day hike bag. Once again, thank you for this comprehensive and honest review!

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thank you for taking the time to watch! Much appreciated. Yes, the 24 is the way to go, it is perfectly right between the 12 and the 72.

Thank you for watching! I know they just released the version 2.0 but I really don't think the changes are a big deal. They actually look almost the same to me. But I have no doubt the quality is the same.

@@GearReviewDepot definitely the quality is the same in v2.0 but the changes they have made do not convince me either. Except for the hidden pocket, the rest either I don't like the change or I don't care. I still prefer v1. I actually bought the rush 12 v1 black this month and I just bought the rush 24 v1 sandstone. there are tastes for everyone.

I completely agree! Luckily they are starting to realize the value of social media especially using people like myself that use, test and will evaluate their products in the "real" world. I have and use lots of packs for making product reviews and I can honestly say 5.11 Tactical along with Vanquest Gear are at the very top of my personal use list. I've tested/used lots of packs and I always seem to go back to the 5.11 RUSH line of packs. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, much appreciated. Be safe out there.

[@ninjamaster7724]

@@GearReviewDepot i like them too and i liked your video too. I was going to buy the Rush 12 but ended up finding the Caribee Combat 32L daypack,which is an Australian brand and top quality too.It also looks almost the same. I wonder who copied who?lol.

[@MrIliff]

Got my Rush 24 today. First thoughts it's heavy. Very heavy especially compared to the Jakaari s. The chest strap seems to rest right under my chin across my neck. Doesn't feel as comfortable but I haven't used it yet so early days. Hopefully I'll grow to love it. Made me feel better about my Savotta purchase. Still not used either yet. I think I may look for a smaller bag at some point. Maybe.. Also I thought it was expensive.. I'll update my thoughts on both as I go along... It was the side pockets that made me go with the 24 over the 12 but on first looks the side pockets are maybe not so important afterall.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Yeah, These types of "tactical" style backpacks are heavier than traditional hiking backpacks. This style is all I've used personally so it's nothing to me but I have friends with more traditional style packs and they hate the heaviness as well as other features. To me, they'er perfect... I wouldn't use anything else. The sternum strap can be moved but it'll also run high if you wear your pack lower on your back. I wear my packs higher to reduce any strain on my lower back. This is easier for me because I rarely wear the waist belt (if it has one) if at all.

you're making it very difficult for me to choose my EDC. in this video you say the 24 isn't a good EDC in your opinion but in its review you say that it is. which is it?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Rolando Maldonado Sorry my friend. The 24 is a great day hike pack and can also be used as a large EDC pack. I use the 12 and feel for EDC it's perfect for my EDC needs. The 24 could fill that roll if you carry a lot for your EDC.

[@rolandomaldonado9863]

thanks for the response man. didn't mean to sound like a dick. I'm 6'3", 270lb, and just don't want anything too small but don't want anything too big either like the 72. I saw one of your videos where you say the 12's sternum strap was too close to your neck. do you have the same issue with the 24?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Rolando Maldonado No worries my friend. The sternum strap sits perfectly where it belongs with the 24. If you're 6'3" and pushing 270lbs I'd definitely go with the 24. The 72 would be too big and the 12 would be far too small for your frame. 24 is the way to go.

just ordered the 24 for edc and hiking pack. Can't wait to get it. Always enjoy your videos.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Awesome!

[@gregorsamsa1364]

Was it too big for EDC?

[@JasonSchierling]

Great video! Thanks for making it. I was wondering what type of medical kit you showed? I like how well it fit in the top mesh pocket of the Rush 72. Thanks.

[@GearReviewDepot]

That was one I put together using a pouch from Vanquest, unfortunately I don't recall which pouch I used. I have a giveaway coming soon with some Vanquest gear, keep a look out.

[@BungieStudios]

Great review! Thanks for showing all three together! Camelbacks are okay. But, they can hurt your jaw and sometimes make your water taste warm, so I don't blame you for not automatically preferring them. I like bottles myself.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thank you for watching!

[@DutchBikeBlogger]

Great comparison. Question, on your 5.11 Tactical RUSH 12, pack I can see, what looks like two retentionstraps, one top one bottom. You do explain it has only one retentionstrap. When looking online to buy this pack I can only see the top strap and no lower buckle. What is the function of the extra lover buckle on your pack ?

[@joshkohel4569]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I just ordered the 24 and the 72 2.0 from Amazon to see which I like better for edc, need a larger one for room for lunch, laptop etc every day. I just wish the 24 had the external pocket with the buckles like the 72 This video was a big help I appreciate it.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thanks Josh, I appreciate you taking the time to watch. The 72 is a beast, far too big for EDC for my needs. I do know several people who use the 72 for EDC, it works for them. 👍

[@swizzstuekk]

A very interesting preview of the different backpacks. Actually, I am looking for a backpack of the brand 5.11 Tactical. I did not know which size to take and what the concrete differences of the individual types really are. Your video answered all my questions….It's great that you share all your experiences. Thx for that. Thumbs up and subscribed your channel. Greetings from Switzerland!

[@GearReviewDepot]

swizzstuekk Thank you for stopping by. Much appreciated. Stay safe and be well.

I would like to have a bag I can use for long camping trips or hiking, so I need ample room for gear, but I also would need to use it for school, to carry heavy books and things. Would the 72 look to big, and would the 24 be to small to carry all my gear/school supplies. I'm thinking about buying the 'double tap' color because it's more urban looking.

[@GearReviewDepot]

In my opinion the 72 although heavy compared to more traditional hiking or camping backpacks is great for those trips, it's a huge bag (although heavy) and can hold lots of gear as well as lots of options to strap gear to the outside using the PALS webbing. As for an EDC or school pack I feel it's too big. I actually know a few people that really do use it as an EDC pack and they said it's hardly ever full but they do like having the extra room if needed. I personally use the 72 when I'm going into the woods with lots of gear for the day, food, cameras along with all my other usual crap including the products I'm reviewing that day. As for an EDC bag I use the 12, it's far too small for hiking and camping (for me) but absolutely perfect for the crap I carry every day. Now, the 24 is really the perfect "overall" or "all around" pack, great for hikes, a light over nighter and can even be used as an EDC pack but not be too big. As for a long hike or a long camping trip I feel the 24 would be too small, one night out maybe but nothing longer than a weekend. It would work if you are a ultra light camper or hiker but then that means you probably wouldn't be using any of the RUSH packs. They are all great but they'er not very light. In a perfect world and money wasn't an issue I feel the 72 for camping and long hikes would be best and the 24 for EDC/school and short day hikes would be best but together you're looking at around $250 or a little less. Hope this answer helps a little.

[@thaSPACELiON]

I’m a bigger guy. 6’0 240. I’m curious if the 24 would appear small on me.

[@thaSPACELiON]

I watched til the end. Thank you.

[@GearReviewDepot]

I believe it would look about the same on you as it does on me.

[@alan12345666]

Thats a brilliant review, great to see a comparison. Makes it alot easier.

[@davidchoqueflex92]

Hola una consulta de acuerdo a mi estatura (1,65 metros) que modelo me recomiendas, y es que pienso que el Rush 72 me quedaría muy grande

[@GearReviewDepot]

Go with the 24. It's perfect... not too big and not too small.

[@davidchoqueflex92]

@@GearReviewDepot ok gracias por tu recomendación, lo tendré en cuenta

[@MusicloverX88]

just got my rush 12 yesterday and I am loving it! so comfy on my back. and way better than the assault packs they give us in the Army. I plan on making the 72 a bugout and the 24 used for when I go to the field.

[@GearReviewDepot]

MusicloverX88 Awesome! Happy to hear you're pleased with the pack as much as I am. Be safe out there.

[@Springfield_7.62x63mm]

MusicloverX88 Rush 12 is way better than those assault packs, especially the shoulder straps which is more comfortable and secure than those of the assault packs, I'm planning to retire my assault pack and get a Rush 12 as well, since the shoulder strap on it is totally crap and very uncomfortable

[@MrIliff]

Does the Rush 12 have the side zippers for a can of Monster? Or is that the 24 model. I see the 24 has those 2 side pockets (and the 72). I wish the 12 had those 2 side pockets.

[@GearReviewDepot]

The 12 doesn’t. Unfortunately.

[@MrIliff]

@@GearReviewDepot Thanks... I see 5.11 sell a 'h20 carrier' molle/pals pouch although it's £25 with shipping. Looks like you could fit drinks in the back pouch in the little pockets.. I like those resealable Monster cans. Anyway I was having a hard time deciding between the 12 and the 24. I thought the 24 looks a little big from all the pictures of people wearing it. Looking at the dimensions though it is only about 1" bigger in height, length and width so that didn't sound so much bigger. The 12 was £68.40 and the 24 is £90 both in ranger green at the time of writing. The extra pockets made me want the 24 over the 12. Plus more space for to use it for a few days out. Which ever one I ordered I'll probably have wished I got the other size lol. Oh I ordered the 24 forgot to say.

[@GearReviewDepot]

@@MrIliff A long time ago when looking at buying a new tv, I was having a problem deciding on the size. This was when I was buying my very first flat screen tv. The salesperson told me “whatever size you think you want, go one size up”. I’ve been doing that ever since. I feel the same applies to backpacks. I always say “I’d rather have the extra room and not need it, instead of needing it and not having it”.

useful video ,thanks

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

Out of these three packs? I'd go with the 24.

[@madcat1007]

No compression strap at bottom of the 24? Seems odd.

None. Unfortunately.

[@usmc4life373]

Great review. Do you know if the side pockets on the outside of the 72 are big enough to fit a folded KelTec Sub 2000? Thanks

[@GearReviewDepot]

No. I don't believe they are big enough.

[@eddybax1]

Pro review sir! Nice! Totally normal for a bunch of guys to geek out on a couple of amazing bags👍

[@GearReviewDepot]

Thank you Eddy! I appreciate you stopping that. 👍

[@eddybax1]

TheTacticalDefender Not even kidding, just bought a Rush 12 in black. After loads of research on KZbin. Was looking for a camera bag. Most camera bags look not so great in any environment... Gonna use camera inserts to manage the equipment and the molly to attach my tripod in some way... It’s ok to be tactical is all I’m saying😊

[@martaarias1138]

Hi, the multicam version is a lower nylon quality ??? Haave 1000 deniers, is that very important using the backpack year after years ?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Not at all my friend. Still very well made and will last a very very long time.

[@DonsShed]

G'day, thanks so much for the video..... I was looking at getting a Rush 12, then seen your video and now I'm undecided on the 12 or 24. LOL....... I want to use it for a "Rucking" Bag (Distance Walking using Weights), inside it will have..... either a Hydration Bladder or 1 or 2 Large Bottles of Water, a 10kg Barbell Style Flat Weight, a Jumper, First Aid Kit, Poncho and Umbrella and a few other things....... what do you think I should get? a Rush 12 or 24.... I do like the side pockets of the 24, which is why I'm leaning that way, but I don't want to buy a bag that's tooooo big for me..... p.s. I'm 5.6" and approx. 250 pounds...... Thank you :) Don (Perth W.Australia)

[@GearReviewDepot]

Hi Don! Perth? You wouldn't happen to know Matt Lloyd would you? Definitely go with the 24... you'll be happy you did. The 24 isn't too small and not too big... it's just right. When in doubt go with the 24.

[@DonsShed]

@@GearReviewDepot Hi Tim :) no, I don't know Matt Lloyd sorry. Thanks very much for the recommendation for the Rush 24 :)

Hello there ...I like your review on the rush hour series....but I would like a lot if you make a review for the 5.11 72 hr backpack vs the 5.11 responder als 84 ....thank you man for all your reviews it's essential for making a decision in buying the specific one we need.

TheTacticalDefender ..ok bro I Will be waiting for your review soon as possible...tc.

[@mmitch8236]

I have the rush 12 and it feels heavy with the material it's made from empty or full with gear. Does it feel heavy to you compared to the covrt 18?

[@GearReviewDepot]

It does have some weight to it for being such a small pack. I used to use it as my EDC pack so the weight wasn't an issue for me.

[@braytonsky7275]

Don't think I would ever need the 72. I'm getting the 24 and i'm having a hard time filling it and yet I could survive a while off what's inside.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Absolutely. it's a huge bag for sure.

[@prestonbrewer6919]

29:46 a bit confusing, that one is the 24, not 72.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Yes. Thank you.

[@sedricmalonejr]

How do you pack your clothing/undergarments? Most videos are usually with "pouches or small packs" on the inside of the bag. Also, where would you place papers, maps or small books for purpose of travel?

[@c.a.7598]

Acabo de ver tu video y me parece increíble, excelente presentación de los tres morrales, acabo de adquirir la 24 y me parece genial, pronto comenzaré mis excursiones y de seguro en algún momento iré por la 72. Muchas gracias por el video y saludos desde Medellín, Colombia.

[@tylerehrig6722]

I have to say, got the rush 72 online as a go pack and it is just massive...have some stuff in it and like you said things get lost haha. I will probally downgrade to the 24 nexr time one is on sale and deffinatly may try the 12 out for a EDC pack since my current one is slowly going nowm

[@GearReviewDepot]

Tyler Ehrig Yeah the 72 is certainly a beast. I actually know someone that uses the 72 as their EDC pack. Insane! Having all 3 is really nice, if you can afford it, because they all certainly can be used to fill a large number of needs.

[@youngyoung7880]

only wish there's side pockets on the rush 12 just like rush 24..

[@GearReviewDepot]

I agree. The only problem with that is that the pockets would be internal with the zipper on the outside like the 24, but when you fill the pocket then you lose some room on the inside. Or if you load the inside first then your pocket gets too small to be of any use. It works with the 24 because it's a larger pack. But you're right, a pocket on the side for items that aren't bulky would be nice.

[@wcrain813]

Outstanding comparison video. One question. What is the color? OD Green?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Sandstone. 😁👍

[@wcrain813]

Thanks. I have the 72 & the 12 in black. I had the 24 in black but one of my kids took it from me. I just ordered a new 24 in “TAC OD” (Green) because I know the kids won’t take that color. The 24 is the most useful of the 3. But they all serve a purpose as you said.
