First impressions 5.11 RUSH 72 2.0

Here it is. The rush 72 2.0. Been curious about the changes they’ve made so I had to pull the trigger. Wanted something a little bigger than my rush 24 and this did not disappoint.

Thank you for somehow being about the only review of this product on YouTube (odd with how popular the brand is). Great overview of the product! I agree that the admin section isn't great, but I see it has been "dumbed down" from the old one with less pockets now. Infact it seems like the whole 2.0 had removed more than they have added. The laptop pocket is actually super nice for me, but I'm quite sad we lost at least 5 pockets for it.

Thank you so much for showing this backpack... ^-^ I look forward to receiving my own... I carry a significant amount of tech with me, and could not stand the idea of potentially leaving something behind that I might need, so this particular bag will do nicely... Thank you again... I also appreciate the simplicity of you review, from one human being to another... No video toasting, no soliciting... I feel like I have received an honest opinion from a friend... I appreciate you...

I received my Rush 72 2.0 today (in ranger green). I like it a lot! Just like you, I pulled the Aluminum bar out from the back plate and the same happened: The lower black plastic cover got stuck inside the channel. This happened to you as well and because of that you couldn't push the bar totally down. The end of the bar did not slide back into the cover easily. I managed to get the cover out and I will fix the covers to the bar ends with super glue. I noticed one more thing: On my bag the bar was inserted upside down. So the bigger arc (radius) was below. I believe that one should be above, but maybe it depends on the individual frame of the owner. Howsoever - I am looking forward to the first test hike on the weekend!

Great review my friend! Would this work as a carry on for a ✈️?

[brickconnect]

Great review. Another difference is that they removed the 2 front pockets under the small mesh pocket in the admin pouch.

[ChevelleSS]

There's a placement for strapping on the bottom of the bag. Have you been able to fit 1.5 straps through it?

Thank you for the info ! Just to let you know, each side of the top handle, you can open the velcro flap to pass trough your water tube at the midle of each squares...

Excelente video, por supuesto gran mochila la 5.11 ya la tengo en la mira esa Rush 72 2.0., a tu criterio cual es mejor la primera versión o este modelo mas reciente, gracias por compartir y saludos de México

I wish the molle was on the inside too so you could lay things out in an orderly fashion

When the Rush series disappeared from their site I was I got the email about 2.0. Thanks for the video, I was wondering how they would hold up along the originals.

Such a shame that I cannot test this product before buying where I live. I'm a minimalist. I want to get a backpack that can be used for everything. Traveling, hiking, camping, gym, you name it. My question is would it be weird to carry this big of a backpack to everyday use or gym? I know I can go for Rush 24, but I'm 195 cm tall and 90 kilos, so I'm not sure how 24 would look on my back.

i don't know what they were thinking with the mid section open. When it rains am i collecting water in there or something?

[wazoologist]

Good review. After looking at the changes, I think I like my original Rush 72 better.

[johnreed]

Nice addition to your gear! Yes very big pack. But for a bug out scenario it should work perfect

[mikec]

That is a very nice bag...huge...very cool 😎
