Nice pack but I don't like the laptop design...I'd prefer a separate pocket instead of having to remove items to access it. Anyways great review. Do you have any recommendations for similar packs?
Not sure I understood you correctly because it sounded like you said the width of the main/ laptop compartment was 8”. But then the front pocket I thought you said it was 11.2” wide.. can you confirm the dimensions of the padded area please? Thanks.
I have the first version of the Rush 24 and Rush 6, honestly, they have held up very well as a bob bag. This new version of the Rush 24 2.0 is almost two similar, the changes are very subtle, looks good.If you have one or the other I don't think you can go wrong with either or version. Would I buy the Rush 2.0 no, need too. The first gen works just fine for me 👍
Seems hard to tell whether the new bag is actually an improvement. Personally I'm quite dissapointed that they didn't update the extremely uncomfortable back padding, or lack thereof, that's the bags biggest flaw for anyone with back issues. I think I've given up on 511 and will be sticking with First Tactical
I have the 72 from last year, I’d highly recommend it. Durable, useful and looks good. I pack it full and can still fit it under the seat in front of me on the plane. 5/5 from a usmc vet
@@markavelitv4140 Hell no. I have both the 24 and 72 packs and only the 24 is allowed as a carry-on and NOT the 72. I know, because I own both of them.
Is that side pockets on the inside wall of the main compartment? I know Gideonstactical said when reviewing the older version that was something he would have liked to see to hold water bottles or such.
its not an improvement. i bought the 2.0. id still prefer the old version if they are still available. i still want those drain holes. i prefer the old style of the handle. seems that they focused too much on it being a laptop bag. wat percentage of rush 24 buyers carry their laptop with them anyways?
The newer 2021 version seems more streamline. Probably more appealing to civilian / range use. The 2020 seems a little more practical for military/ field use. I’m not taking my laptop to the field or on a mission.
Yes. I recently purchased the 5.11 Rush Belt Kit and works great. The padded waist belt helps with a heavy load and integrated MOLLE platform for more carrying capabilities.
@@robertmartinez1645 for sure! I bought the rush 24 and damn its huge lol i'm 5'3 so wearing it i look like i have a turtle shell on me, ended up selling it and got the rush 12 and its perfect on me.
Yes, the RUSH12 and RUSH72 were also upgraded and include the CCW and Laptop compartment. Unfortunately, the RUSH12 will require the H2O Carrier and integrates with MOLLE. The RUSH24 side pockets can carry standard sized water bottles.
@@ProISH yeah but the rush 24 can only fit the regular water bottles and you still have to use the zipper to grab it, wish it was like a pocket in normal backpacks.
I have the old version of rush 24. And like the reviews. The "leather squares" on the back are starting to go after 3 years of just wearing to work everyday and wearing home
Looks like there gearing towards a more computer building crowd, instead of there Hiking / Tactical Outfoor crowd.......I prefer the tried and true design....the new one reminds me of a "Swiss Gear" type computer bag......
Also posted on 5.11 Webpage and Amazon 3rd Rush 24 I own and this 2.0 (best 37 litre backpack in the market) now even more practical and better (perfected) Very appreciative 5.11 really listen to very useful and practical suggestion and thus 2.0 is here. I just received my 2.0 and observed these practical and very user friendly changes 1) side molle width are now wider than 1.0 making them practical and easier as 1.0 have number of narrow molle which are very hard to put molle gear on 2) sun glass pouch on top are really wide enough put my large smart phone LG V50 (even with a thick cover - Poetic revolution) 3) Point 2 - no need to purchase additional molle pouch for my smart phone 4) No drainage holes now, this protect the laptop and other water sensitive device and also without dust and particle to get into backpack 5) The loops next to handle are more useful than hydration holes in 1.0 as you can attach carbiners, grimloc, etc... 6) Hydration hole now situated at back of pack is also more convenient and easier to use 7) Definitely the CCW pouch has more application than just CCW. I can put important document (e.g. passport) and even a small water bottle, jacket, etc... 8) 2 anti-slip pieces at the back of the pack are no longer in 2.0 are also very welcome as they will rub my shirt from my experience 9) Laptop pouch are definitely better as they also serve as divider and in a way another compartment is there:) What else can I say, the best 37 litre tactical backpack not only get better and prefected.
Posts like yours is the reason I read comments. Sometimes if u r lucky u find one that just seals the deal on a decision. Yours did that for me. Everything u pointed out made me realize this is the pack for me and my needs for sure. Thank u for that detailed post. It is something u did not have to do but u did. And it truly helped me feel good about my decision.
Is there a color difference in the double tap of the old and the double tap of the new? The old looks darker in this video, but is that just due to dirt over the years?
Thanks for the review, fist i see on UA-cam, i like the conceal carry new feature but i miss the drain holes in thw bottom, i still prefer the old one model, now two options to choose.
The drain holes were an issue for some due to setting the bag on dirt, sand or mud and it getting inside bag. Many forums of people asking how to plug the holes. They also eliminated the hydration holes in the carry handle I assume for durability and eliminated the rubber pads on back as people complains their shirts would pull up when walking. By the way on 5.11 website it states that the Rush 24 2.0 has the “same durable 1050D nylon” so it must be a typo on whatever you had
@@williammunny6061 thanks for confirming 1050 Denier Ballistic Nylon material. Removing the drain holes feels like a good move, because some would duct tape the inside and could keep critters out. Good call outs on the other features
Thanks for the call out. I choose the 2.0 for the laptop/tablet compartment. I would have definitely stayed with the previous version for the extra main compartment mesh pocket if I did not need to carry electronics. When you pull the trigger, let me know your pick.
They're amazing carry on bags for flying (remember when we were allowed to do that?!) I can get all my scuba kit including regs that I don't want to put in my hold luggage, plus spare prosthetic bits for my leg, again which I couldn't do without if my hold luggage went missing, good review
Thanks for sharing. I used to travel monthly pre-pandemic over the weekend or 1 day trips and this bag was great! I would love to learn scuba diving soon, and enhance my snorkeling adventures.
The drain holes are a deal-breaker for me. It makes that you can never put your bag on the ground without getting dirt, mud, snow, water, etc inside your bag. I never understood that design flaw.
It’s not a design flaw actually. They’re there to help drain water out and not collect water beneath when it gets soaked. Waterproofing is done inside the bag itself, packing your stuff inside dry bags for waterborne ops. Hope this helps
@@ProISH I use the Mollie in the hip belt if the 72 to lock in bottom bit of a chest rig. I wear the hip belt on the bag above a battle belt. So the pack can have weight around my body. But I find I need a smaller pack with that same hip belt. That's on the 72hour.
Thanks for the video. I’m not a fan of the updated 2.0 version. I think 5:11 has strayed from the original purpose of the pack.
Good input. I agree. The laptop padding decreases this compartment's space, and marginally increases the weight.
Nice! Very informative, I’ve been looking for a comparison between the old and new rush series, thanks brother!
Thanks for the shout out. I'm glad I could help out with the comparison
Are the side pockets the same size or was it increased slightly like the eye wear pocket was on the new version? And thanks for making the video!
I still prefer the original version
Great review

Thanks for checking in, the main compartment length is 20" H x 12.5" L x 8" and fits up to a 15" laptop. The front pocket is 12.5” x 11” x 2”
Can’t wait to get one of these. Thanks for the awesome video .

Hello
Is rush backpac waterproof?
Unfortunately no. Only resistant. I use a small tarp over bag, if the elements are a hassle
I still use rush 12 from 2013
I decied to buy rush 24 old one.
In my eyes, old one it is better
(I think it's more rough, dark)

Is this bag available to add a waistband
Yes. I recently purchased the 5.11 Rush Belt Kit and works great. The padded waist belt helps with a heavy load and integrated MOLLE platform for more carrying capabilities.
did they make a 2021 updated version of the rush12? wish they added water bottle pockets on the sides.
It would be cool to have a CCW on the 12.

Good input, I agree with you, this is a Tech version. The CCW is a plus all around.
I agree I wish they made the 2.0 in both designs
I wish the double tap was light grey on the inside, not a fan of black can't see as well
I still have my Rush 24 from 2009
quite possibly the last backup we will ever buy
I just bought both of these by accident. I didn't realize they were different from each other at first. I'm thinking of keeping them both.
Want to sell one?
@@a.d.c7941 probably not tbh.
The changes are minimal, they should call it version 2.5 since they have had (at least) 2 generations before this one.
I like the old one… I’ve had one for about 10 years it seems and One of the seams is starting to come undone so I just ordered another old one.
Nice, not bad for 10 years. Good choice

3:27 what are the loops on the bottom of the backpack for?
you can put straps and hang a floor mat or a sleeping bag, for example.
I’ve heard some folks use those loops to attach bungee cords from to carry anything from a sleeping bag, tents, tri-pod, etc.
