I returned my 2.0 today for a reason not discussed in many videos OR on the 5.11 website -- the lack of a pass-through between the hydration compartment and the main compartment. This is crucial to me. Also the lack of "antenna" pass throughs up top, which are actually better for routing the hydration hose. On the 2.0, you can only put a bladder in its dedicated area. I liked that I could put a larger bladder (or other wired gear) in the main pocket of the 1.0. Nobody discusses this. It's a significant fail in my opinion. They probably did it to make room for the expanded eyewear pocket. It really turned me off of the 2.0, which leaves me bagless as my 1.0 is really wearing out after 15 years.
I never used that feature! But ya, that would be a huge failing… I would check on EBay, they have decent looking bags from 20-80$. That’s where I buy old stuff that’s no longer made lol
Great info. Like others have mentioned, this review made me feel much better about my 1.0. Glad I kept it. And "barely" is right. Gotta keep up the fight.
It sounds to me like you need a bigger rucksack my friend! Might I suggest the 5.11 "rush72" It's much more spacious so the side pouches don't crunch in on the main compartment.
I use the backpack for normal everyday stuff. I don’t care for the tactical look, but I love all the pockets. It’s super helpful for toting around the baby stuff and some misc stuff for the wife. If your using the bag for actual tactical purposes then you are right… no computer needed 😂
you are right. I also still prefer version 1.0. of the 2 only interests the hidden pocket. not worth buying if you already have v1.0. in fact, I prefer to have the tanka zipper bag over the computer sleeve. anyway, my computer always goes with its case. I do not care if they put a foundation for that or not. and in rush 24 I also prefer to have that tanka bag and another mesh one. in short, 5.11 did not do his homework (except for the hidden pocket). They could have improved the back ventilation (like direct action dragon egg for example). I expect real improvements in the rush series v3.0.
Congratulations for this great video ! Do you know what i did when the 2.0 came out ? Well, I RUSHed to buy the 1.0 version (with a big bargain🤩) ! The three 2.0 improvements : larger sunglasses pockets (great !), laptop compartment (not so handy and versatile, as you show it !), CCW pouch ( you already have pb to use it with an empty main compartment, imagine with a full one ! And I also wonder what's happening there under rain with just a velcro closure). Let's see the 1.0 pros : 2 pouches instead of the padded compartment, 1 more zip on a mesh pouch, 1 more keyholder, anti slip patches on the back, draining holes on the main compartment and on the bladder compartment (apparently, water and humidity are good for laptop😜), 2 outlets for bladder hoses instead of 1 and placed also for a aversatile access to the main compartment. Well, for me, 5.11 should have proposed an urban version of the rush (the actual 2.0) and work on a real 2.0 (admin pouch, less weight with cordura 500 on some part, hook and loop panels, new colors...).
It's not a problem having a few extra bags....when your using them.... It is a bag problem, when they sit in the closet and not used. When did the 2.0 come out ?? 2020 ?? 2021 ?? I have the 1.0 for over a year...and love it better than my maxpedition vulture II 3 day pack. This is gonna be a big issue for alot of large laptop users.
@@thewisebuyguy Thanks! I've looked around eBay but I want one new and can't seem to find any. There's a few on Amazon from international sellers but it totals to over 250 with postage and I can't justify spending that much unfortunately... Hopefully I'll find one eventually otherwise I'll just settle with the 2.0
@@MentalMonkey2525 oh a new one? Yeah I don’t think that’ll happen. Lol not this many years after discontinued production. if your patient, many of the ones on eBay are in very good condition…
@@thewisebuyguyGotcha. How are you finding the 2.0 now over two and a half years on? Do you think I'll be satisfied with it or do you reckon I should keep looking or settle for a pre-owned 1.0? 🤔
@@MentalMonkey2525 I’m actually using a leatherback civilian backpack lately. It has a little bit better layout for me as it relates to water bottle, pockets, padded, laptop section, and then ease of organization. It’s also not super tactical looking. It stands out less in the non-permissive environment I work in (a school). I really dislike being the tactical guy when it stands out 😂. They’re expensive, so I bought my new on Amazon lol or maybe it was OfferUp? One of those types of sites…
I'm in the same position with this bag. I'm looking at either the Rush 24 2.0 or an OGIO Renegade RSS for a new computer bag. I already have the original Rush 24, Rush 72, The Moab 10 etc...and I dont know if spending another $100 is justified for a laptop sleeve lol. I think 5.11 should convert the water bladder compartment on the backside into a laptop sleeve. And if we're going with that logic. I'd assume the Rush 24 ver 1.0 is still better lol. Great review!
I agree. The back of the bag would have been a much better place. I am constantly annoyed at the sunglasses pocket getting in the way. I still love the front hidden pocket, but that is all I like in the new updates.
That is super subjective depending on how good their quality and wear is… you figure they are around 135$ brand new and then look at how good their condition is. I usually look for used items that are 40% or more the original sell price when buying used (personally), but some of that is fluid depending on the condition and whether or not it goes on sale 😂
It’s an alien gear holster. I like having a kydex holster in the front pocket. The model is called the Shift hook and loop. aliengearholsters.com/shapeshift-hook-and-loop-holster-with-velcro-5155.html.html
Best informative video, thankyou for answering all of my questions. I am purchasing 24.1 today!

@@thewisebuyguy Yep, ebay it is...
Thank you for showing the pack right in front of you. Great way for size comparison.
Great info. Like others have mentioned, this review made me feel much better about my 1.0. Glad I kept it.
And "barely" is right. Gotta keep up the fight.
I ordered the 1.0 thinking I made a mistake not ordering the 2.0, now I'm reassured
me too. lol )
Why don’t you want the newer 2.0 version? I own a 1.0 and if I were to not own one, I would opt for the improved 2.0
Glad I ordered the 1.0 instead of the 2.0
I definitely prefer the 1.0
It sounds to me like you need a bigger rucksack my friend! Might I suggest the 5.11 "rush72"

I've never understood why someone would need a laptop sleeve in a tactical backpack.

You need it to call in your cruise missile
The only thing I would understand but make it like 8 lbs heavier is to put a plate in there lol

@@thewisebuyguy well infound a used rush for like 70. I was just kinda wanting the ccw part the 2.0 has. What do you think about the 511 amp?
What is the brand of that holster?
