I have all three sizes. The 12 is my EDC, the 24 is my driver's bag as a truck driver, and the 72 is my travel bag. Having the hip belt is essential to lift off the load from my shoulders, and this yoke harness system really does the trick. So even though the 72 is taller than my torso, it still feels easy to carry on my back even if it's heavily loaded. Thanks again George for this awesome review! I can highly recommend this backpack to anyone, who needs a solid, value for money travel bag, bugout bag or emergency bag at home or in their vehicle.
Our military has started using the Rush series bags. Took them a while to catch on but great to see some attention to good value gear in our Defence Force.
Very well done vid my man. I already bought it, and already have the 35L, but just wanted to get extra hyped about the new one coming in. Thank you sir!
Been looking for packing cubes and compression cubes to organize my backpack and couldn’t settle on a brand. Thank you for including the links and showing what you actually put in your pack. I think I’ve decided on the 2 you highlighted
I EDC this for my dome depot night stocking job. It fits my 3l bladder pack, battery powered fan, work knife/spare blades and my lunch... it's a great bag.
I like these and thanks for the good review. My last 48 hour fell over all the time so I cut a piece of plywood and put in the bottom to stabalize it. I don't like it drooping either when it's half full.
I love this bag too. The only thing i wish would change in the rush series is. 1. Change the straps to goruck style straps so it can ride higher on the back. 2. Convert the sunglasses pocket up top to a wider aquaguard zippered access for the laptop sleeve and put the felt lining on the top front pocket instead. Keep up the great reviews George. Cheers and God bless.
Nice vid George! I have this bag and it’s packed for my ultimate go bag. And to top, I got it brand new on E bay for $100! It’s shadow gray but I couldn’t pass up that deal!
Hi George, My name is Tim and it’s Very Nice to Meet You. GREAT JOB ON YOUR 5.11 RUSH 72 EDC/BUGOUT BACKPACK VIDEO PRESENTATION!!!! You Didn’t Sugarcoat or water down anything about Your Presentation with this Pack. You Shoot Straight From The Hip, and Got to the Point. I currently own two 5.11 Rush 24’s One in the U.S Coast Blue Color Pattern 2.0 and the Other is a Black older 1.0 Edition. 15:50 😎☀️🏖🏝🍺🍹🥃💯👍🏽 Another Point You Can in Your Video Presentation on the 5.11 Rush 72 EDC BUGOUT BACKPACK is that it is a Great Resource for Vehicular Combat/Close Quarters Battle Scenarios. I am a Formerly Trained U.S. Army Combat Military Police Officer stationed in Germany and the 5.11 Rush 72 Can Also Be Used FOR TCP TACTICAL COMMAND POST Operations in the Field for both Urban and non-Urban Environments and Climates. Also I like the Crye Precision OCP MULTICAM CAM pattern for the 5.11 Rush 72 EDC BAG/Bugout Backpack!!!! It Goes well with Any Other Environment and Climate. Otherwise Than Thats it. Great Job on Your Video Presentation V/R Take Care Tim W. San Diego, California
I was checking out a Kifaru review you did as I have a Fulcrum hunting pack coming and I’m gonna pick up a Gnargali they have too. You did a good job with it so I had ti see what else you reviewed. I use the 5.11 10hr AMP bag as my edc pack, sometimes the 24hr AMP. I subscribed when the lady in charge said “what fishing trip” LMAO
11:52 - so that's another change - they removed the organization? On the older version, there's are like 3 little pockets inside at least one of the sides, I use them for lock picks and a traveler's hook. Debating buying another, but they don't make the original version, hoping they still have those!
I can confirm that lots of organization is missing in the newer bags. That sucks. Nothing else that I'm aware of, can touch the v1 of these in terms of built-in organizational features.
Great review, my brutha. I purchased my 72 in Double Tap. Gonna be using it for my long overseas trip, and like you, my only gripe is the not so easy access to my Apple Laptop/iPad Pro. Perhaps I could fit either/or inside the CCW pocket seeings how I currently do not own a CCW. The main compartment is very spacious for packing cubes, and kicks. I simply cannot wait to put this bad boy to good use. Again, thanks for the great review. BTW, did wifey ever let you go on that fishing trip? 🤣 ✌🏿fam.
Great review, George. Definitely a bag for long trips, camping, or in your case fishing. I bought the LAPG Atlas 24 awhile back after your review of it, & this Rush bag definitely reminds me of that bag. The only real differences I see are the beaver-tail/shove-it pouch, placement of the CCW pocket, the size of the water bottle pockets (the ones on the Rush 72 are larger), & the hip belt (the Atlas 24 has a removable waist strap, not hip belt). That said, the Atlas 24 seems to do a solid chunk of what the Rush 72 does for half the price & comes in at about 1.3 lbs lighter as well.
Good review. I like your enthusiasm for good backpacks. I would be happy if you could present a German "Tasmanian Tiger" backpack. They have about 30 different models like Raid Pack, Modular Trooper Pack, Mil Ops, Mission Pack... They all have 700 den Cordura and are made for military and emergency forces. I think you would like them. Greetings from Germany...
looks like they took out the 2 slip pockets in the admin area and added the ccw and laptop.... oh and they took out the two slip pockets in the sides.....i'll keep my gen1 and no need to upgrade. thanks for the review!
Great video. I bought the 180-dollar version. What would you use to waterproof this pack? Any suggestions like a wax or spray? or is the bag by itself waterproof? I'm outside with my job and spend hours in the elements...I know the best solution would be a big enough dry bag to put the pack in, I could store it in the beaver tail pocket. The problem is then I would have to carry a heavy dry bag in the hurricane. Subscribed
I have the same backpack and can fit 1 pair of tennis shoes and a change for the day (jeans, sweater and tshirt) plus some extras on the admin. It's huge making people guessing I'm leaving for apocalypse when it can only contain the necessary for 1 day...not 100% satisfied.
For me personally that would depend on the season and the terrain. But generally I would not use the GR2 on a trip longer than 2 days. On another note - the Rush 72 is much more comfortable on a longer hike. My back and shoulders just couldn't agree with GR2. It might be different for other people. Also consider that the amount of stuff you can put in a Rush 72 is significant.
Only downside for me is the bad ventilation due to the large plastic backplate. In every other aspect it has never let me down so far. No matter how heavy and bulky the load, its always comfortable to carry.
@@kevinlove3025 I wanted to keep it in, so the backpack doesn't deform any more than necessary over time, ended up drilling a whole lot of holes through the plate, which did solve the problem to an extent. Not a perfect solution, but better.
Hello from Canada and thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I have a few questions. Can that pack handle a 15-inch wide item in circumference comfortably in the main compartment? What is the difference between 1000D Cordora and the 1050 Nylon for this pack? Also, I live in a wet environment. Which material would be best suited? I know the pack is not waterproof but whatever water resistance I can get would be good or at least some info. Lastly which material is best puncture resistant? I will be using the pack mostly for gold panning so the environment will be kinda wet but lots of sharp rocks and tools plus the pan.
@@starwarsfan7740 I went ahead and got the camo pattern 72. It is a very good bag. Expensive but good. I use mine every day. I am always using a pack. This one is very comfortable with weight.
Sorry to point something out, been trying to find a good review that actually talks about all the changes, and nobody is talking about the loss of the modularity on the inside pockets from the original model. It’s not a huge issue, but it is kind of a shame to lose that functionality. Love your video though, might have to watch more of your content. I will say that you hit on something I never realized, which is the multicast is 1kD and the other bags are not. I thought it was just a if you want to look cool thing you have to pay for it lol. I kinda have to get the multi cam.
Great pack but to me it's sadly let down by the back panel as it literally melts on your back when getting mobile fast, they should of put a breathable back panel in or take a leaf out of Blackhawks older packs such as their Raptor X3, 3 day assault pack and cyclone and add a memory foam style breathable back panel as they work.

Dude, this is an amazing video. Your charisma made a BACKPACK REVIEW super entertaining and interesting. Keep it up man!
This dude sold me lol 😆
Our military has started using the Rush series bags. Took them a while to catch on but great to see some attention to good value gear in our Defence Force.
The 2.0?
@@MrLuffy9131 I don't think so, they started using the 24 before 2.0 came out.

I like these and thanks for the good review. My last 48 hour fell over all the time so I cut a piece of plywood and put in the bottom to stabalize it. I don't like it drooping either when it's half full.
I'm 5'7 and can't decide between 37L or 55L backpack
I wish they had molle webbing on the bottom too. Nearly perfect.
I love this bag too. The only thing i wish would change in the rush series is. 1. Change the straps to goruck style straps so it can ride higher on the back. 2. Convert the sunglasses pocket up top to a wider aquaguard zippered access for the laptop sleeve and put the felt lining on the top front pocket instead. Keep up the great reviews George. Cheers and God bless.
Those are fantastic ideas I never even use the sunglasses pouch but also make a rush 18 something in between the rush 12 and 24
Great review George. I love my Rush 24. The 72 is just way too big for my needs.
Nice vid George! I have this bag and it’s packed for my ultimate go bag. And to top, I got it brand new on E bay for $100! It’s shadow gray but I couldn’t pass up that deal!
Great channel! Detailed, in-depth reviews.
Damn man you made me pull my subscriber trigger finger on the this interview. Impressive. 5.11 should hire you.
HAHAHAHAH!!! You had to pull you’re trigger finger HAHAHA YOURE SO FUNNY
Love the break beats vibe in the intro bro 👍
Thank you good sir. Peace and strength to you.
Sold!
I'm buying one for work right now. Thanks for the video!

Great review!! i have the nylon version olive green 55L for travelling.. i also have that zerolemon ver.3 pb..nice!!
Great break down of all the pockets with examples of stuff in them.
My new favourite backpack review channel! Great work! Greetings from Germany, where most US made gear is a little more expensive though 😁

Very detailed and useful review. Well done!
I just bought a use 1.0 version in new condition. Its a solid backpack and not too big as some people say. Its a perfect size for what i need.
Hope the fishing trip went well
The shirt 😂 so awesome. Great video!

Man, this review is on fire bro. Excellent job.
Outstanding video. I am buying one bc of your presentation. Ty.
I had to sub just because of the intro! "What fishing trip?" LOL
Brilliant review and video, as usual! Thanks Brother!
looks like they took out the 2 slip pockets in the admin area and added the ccw and laptop.... oh and they took out the two slip pockets in the sides.....i'll keep my gen1 and no need to upgrade. thanks for the review!
Check out the ULA Dragonfly, you'd like it and it's a hot bag right now.
Great review like your personality I subscribed
Would love to see these packs rocking & rolling on the AT.
There's too many weenies wombling with their ultralight babypacks.
I love this for a go bag or maybe a fishing bag.
I want to get this but im worried they'll come out with a 3.0 version of this with laser cut molle or something
Great Review... Thank you sir!!!
Great content. Thanks for the video
It is a cheaper bag indeed I agree. It's a value bag. It's not a high speed bag but a budget bag with great value.

I like the video you did on the 72 hour bag. Good job👍👍👍
Actually surprised you went with the Multicam
Great review, 1st class!
What Ipad case do you use? Also, thank's for the video
Yo George you got an extra bag laying around 😆🤣 Let me know. I just subscribed. Love the shirt.
great video man I have been looking for a bag to take out camping this would be perfect
Great bag both versions, really like the 2.0 more in line with my needs these days. Use the ccw pocket for my passport
Goog Review. I buy it Yesterday. Really good quality.
Greetings from Germany
Great intro 🤣
Nice job, George.
Thank you.
55L splitted to 50 compartments. wondering how much litres have main compartment
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Hello
Are the rush backpacks waterproof ?
no, just water resistant
I have the same backpack and can fit 1 pair of tennis shoes and a change for the day (jeans, sweater and tshirt) plus some extras on the admin. It's huge making people guessing I'm leaving for apocalypse when it can only contain the necessary for 1 day...not 100% satisfied.
Great review! Thanks
Thanks
Hi. When a review for the lv6 5.11 please? Thanks
It looks like the beaver tail has a zip on it. Are those extra pockets?
Would you prefer this or a Goruck Gr2 40l for one bag to live out of in the field?
For me personally that would depend on the season and the terrain. But generally I would not use the GR2 on a trip longer than 2 days. On another note - the Rush 72 is much more comfortable on a longer hike. My back and shoulders just couldn't agree with GR2. It might be different for other people. Also consider that the amount of stuff you can put in a Rush 72 is significant.
Nice review Brother
bought the 24, but wish i bought this instead.
It does fit a 19in Gaming laptop
Excellent video.
Thanks bro!
I think the only con would be the Back Support as oppossed to Standard issue Rucks.
Unless anyone got field experience with these?
Great review, does anyone have an opinion on which material is best for all-round use? 1050 nylon or the 1000d cordora?
Love the intro! 😂
Only downside for me is the bad ventilation due to the large plastic backplate. In every other aspect it has never let me down so far. No matter how heavy and bulky the load, its always comfortable to carry.
Then take it out. It’s in there to show you you can run an armored plate in it
@@kevinlove3025 I wanted to keep it in, so the backpack doesn't deform any more than necessary over time, ended up drilling a whole lot of holes through the plate, which did solve the problem to an extent. Not a perfect solution, but better.
There are two different versions regarding materials. What makes the other one woth roughly $100 more than the other? Seriously, im asking.
Great video man.
Awsome George. I love your reviews! In spanish we said "Eres un cachondo"
Great review. What you know about that curly W? lol
Since this is such a great review we will look past that hat! 😉👊
what is the size of waist belt. will it fit waist size of 44 inches?
Pob the best pack ever made. Heavy tho. Maybe they will do a 330d version one day.
That shirt is epic.
That intro tho hahahah oh shit didn’t notice the ship loool
Can this be used as a carry on
Can this bag fit a MacBook 15 inches M2?
waht fishin trip, noice intro
I like it!

Would this work as a carry on for a ✈️?
I would like to know this too, please 🙏🏼
I paid 270 for mine multicam
I am 5.6". Do you think this bag woul be huge for me? like do you have to be taller for this be confortable to wear?
Has anyone used this backpack to travel as a carry on?
5.11 is the benchmark for all packs.
