Got my Rush 12 for edc. Getting a Rush 72 for emergency gear… not looking back, money well spent! Love the content man, keep it up!

[@MarineX]

Thanks much!

[@celbridgecorolla]

Another great video will Be looking forward to the all out winner and seeing which one makes the EDC go to bag

[@MarineX]

You and me both! LOL

[@grymmreaper]

Great comparison video. I'm looking at that Vertx too, but I'll hold off til the comparison with the Amp 12. Loving the content man! BATTALION!

[@MarineX]

I have the Amp10. I also got the the Amp12 but wanted the 10 because you can wear it as a backpack or a sling bag.

[@warlantactical]

No comparison between the amp system and vertx ! Amp 12 i have it in tungsten. Vertx comparies to 511 vs price 511 crushes it For me i hate being married to my pack . Vertx you are married to any of there packs The amp system you have a bit of freedom

[@grymmreaper]

@@warlantactical Thanks for your comment, take it into consideration for my next pack.

[@warlantactical]

@@grymmreaper yes please The pass though to sleeve for a soft rifle bag or hasty shield and low light identifier zipper pulls the unique yoke shoulder pad system is top notch . Side grab handles or assist handles for over the head doning is legit . Ok dam it now i have to do a video

[@trufnk]

Love the table!

[@MarineX]

Thanks much!

[@nelsonstruewe4047]

I own both a Vertx Ready Pack and the 5.11 Rush 24, both in black. The Vertx is a solid EDC bag but it’s a little big for my purposes. I do LOVE the light colored contrast of the Vertx interior, even in the black. If you don’t want the tactical look, it rocks. Myself, I don’t really care about that. The 5.11 is a great bag but it’s also too big for my EDC purposes, however, I’ve converted it to my Get Home/Car Bag and it’s the perfect size and very comfortable. I recently went to the 5.11 Moab 6 as my EDC Bag. Great size, with me constantly and attaches to the Rush 24 if I ever need to use that bag for its purpose. My opinion, you can’t go wrong with either, both brands and bags are top quality and are built strong and tough.

[@Brieke42]

Keep up the video they are awesome. I love Vertx, I like the stealthy style my self. If you want more space try the gamet 2.0.

[@MarineX]

That thing is a monster

[@Johng915]

I'm liking your content, definitely more for realistic uses and stuff. I've been carrying this stuff for my whole life but never thought of it as edc or what not so I like the not LARPing attitude I get from a lot of these bugout bag videos/channels. The stuff I'm looking for atm is to try to not buy Chinese made products which is damn near impossible to find atm, so making my new pack and stuff is slow going but will be worth it I think

[@MarineX]

Thanks much

[@MichaelRiveraBX81]

I have the 5.11 rush 24 for dad duty. Great video!

[@MarineX]

Good choice!

[@jeremywilson6949]

I have 5.11 rush 24 and 72 and love them…but I’m thinking about going to a vertx…thanks for the review

[@MarineX]

No problem 👍

[@theoddhobbit3526]

I am going to be down with the vertex but very great review love in the content thanks

[@MarineX]

Thank you. Come back for more.

[@derrylhaidek2917]

I actually have the Vertex and love the way I can configure it, although I have not had the opportunity to check out any 5.11 bag as of yet.

[@MarineX]

I love it. The vertex

[@williammitchell3417]

Yo man been following you for a little bit now and gotta say I love the content. Just the right amount of review and filler.

[@MarineX]

Thanks brother. I really am trying to improve

[@warlantactical]

The aerospace mesh found on the first tactical bag and the built in cspine and shovel no contest

[@Yooper05]

have you compared the Ready Pack 3.0 to the 5.11 Covrt18 2.0? I feel like those are more similar.

[@warlantactical]

Nice transitions

[@mdc21787]

I just got the sog version of the 5.11, it seems to have everything I need and want. Might do a vid on it

[@mchinnii31]

I've had the Rush 12 (and 24 & 72) for 5 years now and love it. I'm not too sure about the 2.0 version. I don't like that it doesn't have drain holes at the bottom. And it looks like they removed the inner drawstring pouch that I use all the time. That Vertx is looking good tho! I'm gonna have to give it a shot.

[@MarineX]

Go for it brother!

[@jesperkjaer8268]

I've had rush 24 for 5 years too - and have been looking into getting the 2.0 version, but then I learned about the drawstring pouch issue and now I'm looking for another brand instead. I love the old rush 24 - and why change something that already works? If they have to change anything they could put on sidepockets in the sizes as on the rush 72.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@MarineX LIKE MAXPEDITION PYGMY II BETTER? SEMPER FI GUNNY

[@Danny_Ruth]

I just ordered the Vertx Ready Pack 2.0. I’ve ran the 5.12 Rush 12 as my EDC bag for over 5 years, and loved it but... I wasn’t super big on all the exposed molle, it doesn’t have exterior water bottle pockets which sucks, and I didn’t have the 2.0 so it had no laptop sleeve or CCW pouch. I’m pretty stoked to be replacing it with the Vertx. I think it’ll just be a better EDC bag

[@MarineX]

It is a winner

[@dave9116]

Hey Marine hope you don't break a finger nail accessing the hidden gun pocket while you're sitting at Starbucks. I actually use my 5.11 bags in the woods hunting and my Moab 10 has held up for 20 years doing rough duty, so much for the cheaper material same as the Rush series. I've been looking for another bag and ive been trying to decide if I want to switch to Vertx but after your review I'm convinced I want to stay with 5.11 , hope you find what works for you.

[@asianrice02]

I use the vertx ready pack as a personal item on airplane it works out fine and it fits as long as you don't overstuff it.

[@MarineX]

Dually noted

[@mynameisnobody5462]

Great video ! Just wanted to say that I came across a SOG day pack a while ago for less than 35 bucks and I believe it is best bang for the buck. Would love to see you review it and compare it to these premium packs.

[@MarineX]

Shoot me a link

[@mynameisnobody5462]

@@MarineX it's probably isn't quite as good as the ones you reviewed but it's one of my favorite that I use quite a bit , I have my AR pistol broke down into a soft computer case and it's in this bag lol so it's a definite go to

[@surfingtothestars]

Mystery Ranch makes some great bags, both tactical and low vis

[@MarineX]

What's your favorite from their line up?

[@toddhacker8867]

Can you do an Alpha One Niner Evade 1.5 vs Ready Pack 2.0?

[@MrRedKing]

I have both the regular size and the XL commuter bag. One carries my scorpion the XL carries my 10.5 AR pistol. I use a 5.11 something or another for a get home bag

[@MarineX]

You're not playing around! I like

[@tlpalmer01]

After owning both I am using my 5.11 rush 12 .. I love the vertx ready pack but there is more admin with the rush.. too bad can’t combine the features of both .. I have an amp 10 coming and maybe that will… thanks for your videos!!!!

[@MarineX]

Combining both features would be absolutely wonderful.

[@jimibuckets23]

I’ve got the rush,ready 2.0 and the amp 24. All are great bags but used in different applications. Overall winner to me though is still the AMP. Working in ems it’s so versatile. I just hate how 5.11 discontinued that bag. They shoulda made a 2.0 version of it

[@gjhoward]

I'm a bit of a bag whore. I got introduced to Vertx bags from watching Talon Sei videos. Now I own three of them. The RP 2.0 is my EDC pack. I wanted a pack with integrated water bottle holders, a dedicated admin pouch, enough space for whatever I am carrying that day, high-vis interior and quick access to my CCW if I have to carry off-body. Additionally, I have a IIIA+ soft armor plate inside. The RP 2.0 doesn't draw unwanted attention either. Absolutely love it.

[@MarineX]

I love his channel. You have all the bags!!

[@rpd189]

Love my Vertx bag, it actually stands up on its own

[@MarineX]

That's the big thing that I noticed.

[@kpfagerberg]

I’m very interested in this bag and happy to hear it stands on its own. That’s a pet peeve of mine when bags flop over when you set them on the ground. If you have stuff attached to the molle webbing on the upper part does it pull the bag forward noticeably?

[@danielduron6131]

I think the rush has more comfortable strap setup, I also like they have different sizes (I guess vertx has the gamut for its bigger size)

[@johng89]

My go to edc bag is the vertx gamut 2.0. I love it. I still have my 5.11 rush 24 bag it just wasn’t my favorite which is why I went to the vertx.

[@MarineX]

Nice

[@kidbach]

Asking which one sucks less is like asking, do you want to run the Obstacle Course or the Confidence Course 10 times in succession. Lol. If there was a way to integrate the good features from both bags into one would be closer to a great bag. I've found that in my tiny corner of the world, middle schoolers/junior high schoolers upwards to grownup civilians now use backpacks that have MOLLE and are in the camo colorways, so nobody really pays attention that much now. Thanks for sharing, you Mighty Awesome Devil Dog. BATTALION, ERRAH!!!

[@MarineX]

Oak-Course all day.

[@derekvandiver1947]

I have the Gamut 2.0 and the ready pack in Multicam Black but the gamut is better suited for me you should try it out

[@MarineX]

I need to check it out

[@d.m.hutchins2nd696]

I got that 511 Range bag for $60 or $70. Its a damn good bag.

[@MarineX]

I gotta check it out

[@alexronaldinho12]

Can you try doing a review of the note core bp18? I am looking to buy it, once I find it somewhere.

[@MarineX]

The nitecore looks interesting. What do you like about it?

[@alexronaldinho12]

@@MarineX I like that is is on the smaller end. Also, cheaper than other backpacks. Your review here noted that these backpacks are sweat magnets, the back of the nitecore looks like it can help with that as well. I find your videos really helpful!

[@MarineX]

@@alexronaldinho12 i gotta check it out!!

[@bdm3052]

I have a vertx ready pack and a 511 rush 24. I must say the vertx is a great pack but I’ll take my 511

[@kennethstorm930]

Looking at vertx overland bag as a 72 hour to a week bag,

[@MarineX]

That thing is a monster

[@jeremymoses7401]

Bulletproof laptop sleeve? Does it actually protect the laptop or is it more intended to make the computer double as a piece of armor? I doubt seriously the laptop is going to survive the shot, may not penetrate but the shock displacement is gonna wreck that thing.

[@MarineX]

Bullet proof for me. The laptop won't survive

[@clintock4400]

Waist belts make me feel fat too.. Great content as always, thank you.

[@MarineX]

Thanks much. Screw those things

[@tdotvy4579]

Vertx for me because I am a professional and I don’t want to scream “I got a gun” in my bag. Also, I have level 3 armor in my vertex bag. It has a specific pouch for that. I don’t think you went over that

[@toddbarraza3433]

I prefer the vertex ready 2.0 bc i go to the office

[@grimbo73]

i think the Vert-X is a better EDC bag...but the 5.11 might make a better bug out bag...the adaptability and the expanadability ngive it an edge i think...

[@MarineX]

Fair points. I gave the 5.11 away but I can see that use case

[@conradsmith8392]

511 is the one I like

[@MarineX]

Nothing wrong with that at all

[@warlantactical]

No firsttactical tactix bags i like better then both of those brands

[@warlantactical]

Also lets ignore the fact i am friends with the designer of pre 2008 and current designer of firsttactical. Specs are specs

[@DevonHunts]

Wat

[@basher2209]

Vertx all day

[@MarineX]

Slam dunk

[@vonster22]

not bugging out ... doing drills with like minded neighbors

[@MarineX]

Nice

[@warlantactical]

But for this video purpose 511 all the way

[@TheSaiyanKing]

I might be in the minority here, but I absolutely hate how the Vertex looks. Those colors especially make me wanna puke.

[@MarineX]

It had to grow on me

[@johneroyale]

"Sucks less..." pretty much.

[@MarineX]

[@nivid01]

Both bags suck. Good review mate!
