I use the RUSH 12 as my EDC pack for work (EMT-B) . This thing get rough use and holds up well . I love the organization of it too.
own a rush 12 for over 4 years and it seems will last for another 40 years
I’ve used my 12 every single day for 5 years. It’s perfect for me. “Bomb proof” is a perfect description.
This was my first pack I still have it. The only thing I don't like about it now is that there's no side water bottle pouches already on it. It is comfortable to me. I have packs like women have purses.
Me too - I am a bag whore!
I've been looking at this and the lack of bottle pouch is also an issue. However, it strikes me that I could add a molle pouch to the outside
The water bottle holder is an add-on.
Get a mole add on water pouch
I have had the Rush 12 for years and it still looks new. It has been heavily used including by my son for a school backpack for his fourth and fifth grade years. It serves as my current EDC. I do agree about the water bottle pockets. I added an external one to mine.
I have the rush 72 as my get home bag. Had it for years, it’s awesome. Not changing it any time soon. I have all my get home gear and still have more then enough room to store my truck gun ( 7.5 AR pistol w/ brace ) in it and spare ammo.
I use a Rush 72 in OG in the woods and in black for work, this is,the first pack that's lasted being thrown around, dragged and over filled so I had to get the 24. Incredibly impressed with this range and 5.11 kit in general. Loving the vids please keep it up, God bless.
I absolutely love this bag. I had purchased it years back as a "day bag" to toss stuff in for trips to the white mountains. Now I mostly use it as my "work bag" and use it to shuttle items to and from work in EMS
Rush 12 and 24 are awesome! I use the 12 as part of my Emergency vehicle kit, and the 24 if I'm going out for an overnighter . Not a big fan of then 72. too heavy and I wish the front pocket was attached like it is on the 12 and 24. Thanks for the double vid
That's a great review! I have the Rush12 backpack which I carry everyday as my EDC backpack and I can't do without it now. Really love it. I also have the 72 for my job in the military which is very useful when we go training for several days. Finally I used to have the 24 but it was too big for my EDC and too small for my working-bag so I gave it to a friend. But this Rush series really really rock !!!
I got a second hand Rush 12 over 2 years ago, for like 30 USD.
BEST DEAL EVER.
Not only because a new Rush 12 costs 120~150 USD here in Taiwan, but for two years it has been my EDC pack and it works great.
I really like the anterior compartment where I can keep my EDC tools.
I have tried several packs to replace this old thing but each time I went back to it within a week.
Great video on the Rush 12. I have one myself as my EDC/work bag. I have been considering changing backpacks because my needs have changed. This video answers the question on what I can do with my Rush 12. It is still in excellent condition. A get-home/go bag is a great solution. Thank you!
Love my Rush 12. Would like to see low compression straps fitted though. Keep 'em coming Aaron.
Awesome Review!!
I love this bag and a version i would like to see would be making one in a covert color with no molle on the bag. Thank you for your work!
I own a Rush 12, 24 & 72. All great packs in their own right. I used the R12 as a diaper bag and it did great. I use the R24 the most for travel and its held up great. The R72 is my bugout bag. 5.11 hit a homerun with these bags.
Awesome review ,,, bought all 72/24/12 Rush products and the one thing that I really appreciate that is not mentioned in any reviews is the fact of connecting multiple Rush series packs together with the Tier-3 system design...example: go on a week long backpack trip with the 72 and have the 12 attached with only admin and bladder. then at base camp can detach and only use the Rush12 for day hikes. But you definitely need to have rain protection for each bag. Although I could have gone with much lighter Arcteryx packs,,, having these Rush series packs already active is dual purpose planning in my humble opinion. Whatever is best,,, most important is being prepared and ready to remain calm in any situation.
I love the RUSH line of packs, especially the 24. The 12 has been my EDC pack for years now, can't see replacing it any time soon. The 72 is a beast but doesn't get as much use as my 12 and 24, still won't let it go.
Tim almost the same as the LAPG bag..
I love being able to connect multiple Rush series packs together for very long periods away from home.
Same! I have the 12, 24, and 72. I bought the 24 about 7 years ago when I started my career as an archaeologist and it has held up to absolute hell and barely has a frayed thread.
The 12 I bought recently as my EDC because I have a wasp and Hornet allergy and always need to carry epipens (starting venom therapy soon though so yaaaay!). I also load it out with water and a first-aid kit along with some standard get-home gear.
The 72 I find to be a bit too big for regular use. I've taken it a bunch of backcountry trips as a camp bag. I've been reserving it to convert to a BOB to keep in the house. Something I can easily throw in the truck if my wife and I need to leave our home.
My current Condor pack, I just discovered, is coming apart at the seams. I was trying to decide between this pack and the bigger Rush 24. You have me sold on this one as your philosophy of use is extremely similar to mine. Thanks for making the decision a whole lot easier!
Great job explaining your thoughts and reasons! I think I will look into it!
I’ve owned two of these bags for about 5 years now. I have a black one for work and a sand one for every day use when not at work. I love them. They’ve travelled all over the world with me. Just the addition of somewhen for a water bottle on the outside would make this bag perfect. I’ve added a Grimloc carabiner to the left side shoulder strap to hang by GPS on while walking.
5.11 make some awesome products and they are of well quality, also worth the price too.
I have the black version of this bag and use it everyday going to work and back home and I love it! Well worth it
Had this bag for last 2 years, does get a bit sweaty on your back during the hottest days, but overall it’s a great buy, extremely tough and looks almost brand new despite being thrown around every day. Use a Camelbak bladder on the inside and haven’t had an issue.
Had mines for 4 years now and been using it to carry ruck plates and rucking on trails, everyday use. No rips, just a bit dirty. A very reliable and durable bag.
I run the rush 12 as my everyday laptop bag best decision i have made and i constantly travel on planes for work as well, 3 years old now and still looks new with no signs of wear love it
I have this pack and I love it because of all the person custom options it offers. I love the Mollie because I can design the pack to fit me. Great video.
Just ordered the rush 12 sandstone, will be making it my new get home bag. Right now using the maxpedition condor 2. Only thing I wish they did is make a non clamshell version. Also i don't like how the molle straps are different color.
My twelve is my EDC, 24, hiking, my 72and 100 are my camping/ hunt camp bags.. love the rush line
Really gotta buy one of these. Been meaning to make up a car pack for ages that I can leave in there and chuck on when I need it. Had my eye on the, 12/24 for that.
I have the Rush12 & 24. Great packs!
Didn’t bother with the 72, I’ve a large ALICE pack for the bigger trips off grid.
Any of these packs with my
LBT 1961A or D3CR is everything I could ever ask for as far as gear goes.
Spring summer fall winter rain or shine the above line up hasn’t failed me yet!
I've had the rush 72 for 6 months and love it. Yesterday I was on 5.11s website and they had a blowout sale. I got the rush 12 for only $40, also got a rush 24 for $50!! Talk about a steal! Great review man. Keep it up!
Do you remember what month they had that sale? I'm wanting a backpack. Thank you.
Got one just last month as a camera bag, it's perfect. Got a £20 camera bag insert (Huntvp Shockproof Camera Insert Bag), put a Hazard 4 Jelly Roll lens pouch on one side and a cheap dump pouch one the other which the bottom of my tripod goes in and I cinch the top with the molle.
Great Video! I got the rush 24. Love that bag!
This pack dominates even the latest 2022 bags!! If I did an overall research again for the best pack for everything, the 5.11 rush 12 still has my vote.
Definitely dose not dominate but challenges
First tactical and tasmain tiger packs smoke 511 tactical
The rush packs are lacking and have to much molle
I am big fan of molle just not where they have it
Thanks again, for the useful information.
I happen to live in a tsunami zone just off the Cascadia fault line. That means a tsunami (of imminent doom) would be preceded by a potentially devastating earthquake.
I've been shopping around for a smaller OSB (oh s**t bag) for a while. This video helps.
I like your thinking about the balance effect of having pouches for the bottles on the side walls, but I think I might prefer a pair (or 3) of adjustable retention straps on each side.
Those would still secure the bottles, and also be somewhat more flexible for securing other types of gear.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend. Stay safe.
Guardsmen here, got a Rush 12 with two GP pouches on each side, EXCELLENT pack and very versatile. It definitely can sustain you above 12hrs if you pack smart.
I just got the first version Rush 12 and it's a really great pack. I got it in black which seems to me but - exactly like you've said - I got it to blend in the big city.
I usually go with OD green but I wasn't sure about the 5.11 Tac OD color. Plus I had trouble getting the first version - I'm afraid the 2.0 CCW compartment would hold water in rain.
Great review, great pack!
Take care!
Excellent review! I have a Rush 12 and it is awesome. Perhaps you can consider doing a review of the Maxpedition Lithvore by comparing it with the Rush 12.
Ok. So I’ve had my Rush 12 for over 9 years. It’s been used for the following: School, hiking, cycling/running, shooting, video gaming etc. I must point out something very important though. I highly recommend getting the extra buckles/strap kit that 5.11 sells as well as getting a simple strap to go around your mid-section. I noticed that when I would run across the street with my heavy school books, the weight jostles around making running with it uncomfortable. If you’re going to be really active with it, get the 5.11 strap kit. It really does help and you won’t regret it. The amount of mileage and different conditions that I’ve put on it is absolutely amazing and still going strong.
The new fast pack edc from Triple aught design has those bottle pockets on the inside.
Dag gone man you go ahead, you got salesmenship in your blood. Great job, I really do like this backpack, thx for the great review.
Great gear I have a black rush 24 and I carried it for a year day in day out work rest and play fkn awesome now I have a rush 12 as a GHB also in black, I can use a few pouches with the Molly great stuff. cheers
I also have the 12...as well as the 72 for my main...it's a great, bombproof bag, as you said...I compare it to the Maxprdition Falcon 2. Roughly the same size, quality, use case. I use both the Max & the 12 on day trips all the time & have had them both for years..they're both in perfect shape. Great choices. 🤙🏼
Rus 12 has been my edc bag for six years. The only part that broke was the plastic stiffener inside the bladder compartment. The material just disintegrated. No biggie, I slid a tarp in there. I recommend the Rush warmly.
I removed it too it's so uncomfortable
I have a rush 12 and a rush 72. Just ordered a rush 24. They are phenomenal backpacks.
Been using this bag for about 4-5 years. Love it. This replaced my 5.11 Triad 18 which is also an awesome bag.
Was getting the itch to get something new but I honestly can't find anything that's as versatile short of possibly upgrading to the Rush 24.
I was leaning toward a less tactical bag, but then I thought "what do I care if it looks military-ish?". I've never been singled out in public because of it.
I use the Maxpedition Rolypoly attached to the molle on the side to free up space in the main compartment. Need to pick up a first-aid pouch though.
Great video. Thanks!!
pathfinderLXXIV 5.11 amp 24 👍👌
My wife has the updated purple version. She uses it every day for her commute. Loves it.
Purple ?
I use one for traveling, found it to be more comfortable with plastic back panel removed
I own the Rush 72 as a bugout bag and it’s incredible! I also own the Rush 24 as my EDC/school bag (it’s in multicam but I like it so I don’t care if it stands out) now I’m looking to get a Rush 12 and make it into an assault pack for my kit
Great review. I have the 24 and 72 hour packs. Now, it looks like I need to pick up their younger brother. These are like tanks... very rugged, but heavy. The 12 hour maybe replacing my Haley Strategic Flat Pack for day hikes. Keep up the great content!
100% agree. Rush 24 is my fave!
What size Molle pouch is attached to the top of the pack looks like the first add pouch
I like my Rush 12 also. It is a very practical, well laid out bag. However as touched on this video 5.11 needs to come out with a 3.0 version with strong mesh back panels and mesh straps. It makes a great little adventure bag/Get Home Bag but man it needs better ventilation. It's just runs too hot for me to use as an EDC bag. The new Rush !00 has mesh straps and back paneling so. Would love to see the the older RUSH packs get that treatment also.
You recommend the camelbak hawg for GoRuck. How would this work in comparison to that. Great videos. Thanks
A Maxpedition Expandable Bottle Pouch would run great on this pack.
I had one a couple of years ago, still the best backpack I ever had.
I have the rush 72 it’s a little heavy but well built with tons of Molle and other packing options great for a bugout bag and half the price of most bags with the same quality if u want something smaller I luv the Duluth packs there pricey but there great bags only downside at least with mine was no Molle that’s why I got the 511 and couldn’t be happier with it and I believe I paid like $125 for the bigger version price varied at the time I got the same color in this video but grey was like $200 which was fine with me I like the brown/OD green better anyway very cool that they make armor plating for this pack hopefully they do them for the rush 72 gotta look into that I’d be worried about weight though.
Got mine for University, weekendtraveling and airsoft and think it‘s absolutely awesome!
I’ve had a Rush 24 in sandstone for about 4 years now. I love it. I’m afraid they’re discontinuing them though. Just before Christmas I ordered a Rush 12 that was on sale on 5.11’s website for $39. Only black was available. Still hasn’t shipped. I wish I’d ordered one sooner. I didn’t think they’d discontinue them.
I was in the market for a really good go bag slash multi-day pack and took a long look at the 5.11 stuff and nearly bought one. I needed something in between the day pack and the 50 plus liter pack I have for longer term hiking trips. The second I saw the Vanquest Trident though, I was hooked. I make excuses to go on hiking trips just so I can use it... You're probably going to have to try harder to get me to move away from my Vanquest fanboyism at this point... but 5.11 is great quality for cost ratio, so it's definitely a contender for people. Not everyone is going to like the layouts of the Vanquest packs. I know it took me a minute to come around to them, especially the way the Trident is laid out.
My solution to the water bottle dilemma was to purchase 2 Camelbak Max Gear Bottle Pouches. They are molle compatible and attach perfectly to the sides of the pack. They fit my 32oz Nalgene and HydroFlask and even my 40oz Klean Kanteen.
I too wish 5.11 would put pockets in the main compartment for nalgene bottle/s. I wished for this some time ago. So I made my own. I bought a maxpedition mini rollypolly and sewed it I to the inside (if worn on back would be on the right side). Problem solved.
I have 2 of the Rush 24 packs. 1 is black for my get home bag, 1 is Tan for a day pack/hiking/scout pack.
My get home pack has one of AR500 light weight level III+ plates in the "outer water bladder compartment" if I need to, I can just swing the pack to the front and wear it kinda like a vest. It will protect my front or if on my back it will protect my back.
I keep the 5 C's in the bag (Cover, cordage, combustion, container, and a cutting tool)
Along with a Sawyer mini water filter, maps of my area, a compass, and 3 spare magazines for my Glock19 EDC.
The whole pack weighs in at just shy of 20 lbs.
Love it.
Watching from the Philippines..
I just got my 5.11 Capital Pant and Rush12.. Hopefully it does the job..
I think the pegasus pack from warrior assault systems is a great option to, its very simular then the rush, even a little bit better in my opinion. Look at that pack.
Great video. I use the rush 12 as a combo EDC/get home bag. Would love to see you do a video on your get home bag set up/gear.
Who makes the first aid bag you have added to the back ? I like that it matches in color and the size looks adequate.
Hey man can you link the Molle first aid you use or did you build your own
I’ve got a 24 and I got the wife and kids a 12 each for their school bags. 5.11 GO!! 🤙🏻🇦🇺
I like how you were skipping through the woods. Haha. You really love the outdoors, don’t you. Nice review.
I have the same .. it is awesome . Could you tell me what kind of medical pouch is attached?
This was my first "real" pack, and I've had it for a long time. It's been to a few countries, and it'll go to a few more.
It will last me the rest of my life.
I'm on the prowl for a small EDC, because this pack is heavy, but I'm having trouble because I want something they will last this long and still feel this new and amazing.
Sadly I just don't like slings. I want this bag, but just small .. haha.
I love my rush 72 for my primary bug out bag. Great review!
May rush12 shoulder strap gave up already after 1 year of use.. need to do some extra stitching..
Black Friday sale. $60. I’m buying it. Thanks for the awesome review.
$50 right now on 5.11's site until the 22nd.
@@slickslabmcknabful $39.99 @ 5.11 Dec.21 & 22, Rush 24 $ 49.99
I cannot believe that you said exactly what I feel. It would be the perfect bag if it has a place for the water bottle. Everybody said to me oh that's ridiculous and unnecessary. I think itit would be perfect and also I actually like a little zip compartment in the bottom for a rain cover for the pack. Then that would be my ultimate little get home bag. Great vid and yes great ideas as usual. Be Blessed
Anyone wanna sell me their good condition 12?
I bet someone makes a molle attachable water bottle holder that you could just attach to the side.
Audemosha I have every kind of molle h20 bottle holder and they just don't hang right, they throw off the balance, they also snag on branches n stuff
WarG.. is right...
I run two MSM “water bottle corsets” on my Rush 12. They’re a game changer. Good quality, low profile design, and can be adjusted to hold just about any size water bottle
Good day,
Have you washed your bag? Do you have any advise for cleaning or washing the rush12? Can I use ordinary detergent for it?
Thanks for the response
Which pouch did you mount on the bag? Seems like a nice combo
I also have that 6x6 med pouch. And two H2O pouches. Solves the bottle problem.
I was looking for that pouch but just found the “IGNITOR 6.5 POUCH“. Is yours from 5.11? Thanks! :)
I'm curious about the mechanix gloves and which model are they?
Love the Rush 12 but am waiting for the new 511 All Missions Pack (AMP) 12 coming out later this year. Would love to have you do a comparison video when it's available.
Bruce H they are two totally different bags. The AMP 12 doesn’t have near the pockets or access. I just can’t find a reason to use it.
I bought the rush 72, and watching it where he mentioned a spot for holding bottles, I was like yeah they added that😅
What do you think of the rush moab 10?
Ignoring the hydration pack, how does this compare to Camelbak hawg mil spec
Great bag but doesnt sit well with a heavy loadout. Hang's too low but still a good bugout option due to durability
Is this better than the Camelbak Hawg. I think they are about the same size.
Great review aron! 100% agreed!
What is that ifak pouch you have mounted on the outside?
Where’d you get that little medic pouch
Thanks for the video. I've been looking around for an EDC bag that was around the 20 to 21 liter mark and this seems like it might fit the bill especially for the price. As for a BOB I'm not quite sure if I would personally consider it. I do a lot of long distance backpacking and some things I see that would make it a hard sell is the lack of load lifters, hipbelt, and adequate compression straps. Depending on your loadout especially for a BOB if it's 25+ pounds this pack looks like it would shred your shoulders on long hauls. Granted my idea of long hauls could differ from others.
I would also highly recommend against putting a bed roll lashed on the bottom of a pack. Best place is always in the interior and at a minimum in a compactor bag. Your sleeping bag/ bedroll is always your last line of defense against hyperthermia so it should always be shielded against the elements. Also in a high stress situation if your moving quickly there is always the risk of it snagging onto something and losing it making it even worse. On my AT thru hike I hiked through a period where there were 2 weeks of non stop freezing rain and snow. Trying to keep things dry after that long was next to impossible. I learned quick that there are very few things that are truly waterproof even rain jackets. They will all eventually fail. I ended up getting hyperthermia and massaging grace was that my sleeping bag was one of the only things I had left that was dry. If it wasn't for that I dont think I would be here. I kept it in a cuban fiber dry bag and made sure that no matter what it always stayed dry.
have you noticed you have molle all around your bag? so attach a water bottle holder 1 on each side if needed. the rush series has the rush 72 which has those bottle holders you want. also the rush 72 has 55litres of storage in it if you get what you need in that bag you dont need it. yes fully loaded its heavy but who said you have to fill it? If its a true bug out scenario you will have room to pickup gear you forgot or didnt realize you needed along the way.
Do you know if 5.11 Tactical or anyone else makes a rain cover for this bag?
What are the bottom straps for ?
The medical bag. Where can I find that please?
What is the med pouch that is put on the backpack?
Hey @gideonstactical would you recommend this pack or the rapid origin. I'm a college student. I have a 15 inch macbook pro that's always on me, and a few edc gear. I'd always like to keep a IFAK on the pack at all times. Which would you recommend for me
Barely fits in the main compartment, risky. It's better to be safe and get the Rush 24
Not sure if Rush 12 or Rush 72 due to the large hands.
I have a Rush24 as my work EDC.
Going to get this bag for various reasons, includes air travel. What color would all recommend??? I do like the camo and know it stands out but want recommendations
The camo options are awesome. Black is always the lowest profile I would think.
We need a IFAK update too!
does it fit a 17 inch laptop?
