I debated between the Rush 24 and the Maxpidition Livthor for a long time. Cost wasn't the issue for me, functionality was the main issue. After watching this, drove the 40 mins up to 5.11 today and picked the 24 up. Thanks for your review Sootch!

I have had the 24 for years it has literally gone all over the world. It has seen several countries in the Middle East and all but 4 countries in the EU. It looks as new as the day I bought it. I can also attest to the fact that the sternum strap won't fail. It has held up to daily patrol use over a plate carrier and not once came undone or broke.

PS..ATF says you can shoulder the pistol brace again.

This may very well be the best carry on bag for an airline you can have. The organization is outstanding and it’s built like a tank!! I take mine on 3 or 4 day trips constantly and it’s perfect! Never had a problem with any airlines using it as a personal item.

Been using this thing for 5 years, put it trough all sorts off abuse, never had any problems.
Best one of the Rush series imo!

I've had a Rush 24 bag & use it as a EDC bag for the past 4 years... Best bag I've ever owned, hands down; great for working on the rig in EMS & nice to pack essentials. Great review, Sootch!!

Hey Sootch, after watching this video I bought this backpack. I needed a bigger bag for hiking and outdoor stuff. This bag was what I was having a hard time looking for. Thank you!

I have a Rush 24 and I love it, I've added a molle first aid pouch for easy access and have used it as my main backpack for two years now. I love the way it rides on my back and shoulders, particularly when I am wearing my winter gear. I live up in Canada, am 6'1" and 210 and this fits perfectly over my parka and other winter clothes.

Been scouring the internet for bug out bag, last one I had I had everything in it but the kitchen sink. The 511 24 caught I eye simple by your video. The clarity in the video, slow approach in pointing out the various compartments and the pros and cons. The only thing not mentioned unless I was sipping my coffee at the time was the weight. Other than that excellent review. Gonna check out the purchase now and also subscribed. Keep up the great work!

Just got myself a Rush 24 about 3 weeks ago in sandstone color, best bag I've ever owned.

ive had the rush moab 10 for around 6 years now. same construction just with the one strap, makes a great bag for the city. I can attest to the water resistance. I live in the UK and our rain is unrelenting. I've been soaked to the bone before now completely drenched and while the bag seems saturated on the outside its kept all contents bone dry, carried a lot of paper in college and spare clothes so it was a life saver.

I have the rush 12. Use it everyday as an overnight bag i take with me in my car. Got it over a regular backpack for its modules and organisation, love it.
Recently got the tactlite pros as black trousers for work. Pants get dusty so i wanted something more rugged. Love the d-ring and the all the pockets.

I always love your pack reviews because you actually have gear in them!

[beardedhussar]

I use the Rush 72 as my BoB, and the 24 as my EDC/ laptop bag. Great bags! Organized but not overly so, and bullet proof. And 5.11 Customer service is the best I’ve ever had to deal with. Excellent support.

[bjornlukas]

i have the rush12 for 8 years. I use it everyday and after 8 years it is still 👍👍👍!! It is the best rucksack i ever had!

I have this pack in the 37 liter version. I use it as my primary range bag. I added two 8 magazine carriers that hold my fully charged mags in the bottom of the main compartment. My Sig 226 Legion goes in the padded hydration compartment in the back inside a small soft pistol case. My Sig 229 Legion goes in the concealed carry pouch in the front. I carry two pairs of ears in the middle of the main compartment on top of the mag carriers. The front facing compartment stores all my cleaning supplies. My mag charger goes in one of the upper pouches. I keep some rolls of target pasties in the top of the main compartment. First aid kit goes in one of the mesh pouches and I keep a tactical tourniquet in one of the water bottle side pouches. With all that there’s still room for you keys, wallet if necessary, you can even fit a holster in the main compartment if you don’t want to wear it to the range.

As you pointed out you can always add Molle pouches to the outside, which 5.11 makes a ton of. Personally, I’m of the similar mindset, I don’t have anything on the outside aside from a name tape and a Velcro patch.

It’s nice to go to the range with 2 guns and 16 fully charged mags along with 2 sets of eyes & ears as I enjoy taking people to the range and introducing them to the shooting sport.

Amazing pack, better than any so-called range bag that I’ve ever found.

Must admit, a couple of years ago I was very excited to get my hands on the larger version of this pack at a Brick & Mortar store (The Rush 72). My credit card was screaming in terror as it knew it would soon leave the warmth of my wallet... But I decided to examine it before buying. Glad I did.

I ended up checking it twice, as the pack just seemed too small. I checked to make sure it wasn't the smaller Rush 24. Then checked it again. And I'm not a giant. Found a couple of issues with regards to stitching as well. In the end, decided it wasn't for me. Overall, it was a good pack. But if anyone orders the 24 online, be sure they have a great return policy. The 72 felt like a 24 in my hands. The 24 might feel like a Rush 12.

I have had this bag for a few years now. The bag is super strong nothing on the bag has failed and I use it everyday. With that said its cause it's made from 1050 nylon its heavy even when it is empty. It the back of the pack where the plastic card is I use area that to place soft body armor pad. Great review !! Long live the republic

[DuffinCaprousold]

My emergency bag is actually the Rush 72. It looks pretty similar to the 24, just the side pockets stick out more and that top pocket isn't split, it's just one large pocket. Definitely can't recommend it enough. so I would guess the 24 is just as solid. I just love the number of inside pockets. So many bags don't utilize the space in the main compartment, just make it one big compartment, but there are pockets and pouches all over the inside, making it easier to organize things.

I’ve had this backpack over a year and ride my motorcycle daily all types of weather conditions, washed and dried ( not recommended) and it has put it very well, I abuse the backpack daily .. best backpack out in my opinion. Well made back pack, you get what you pay for 10/10 recommendations, VERY tactical
