This is one of the better reviews I've seen. The only thing I would add is to keep in mind this is a tactical bag made by a company that caters to military and first responders. While it can be used for whatever you choose to use it for. Just remember that they didn't have going to the office or hiking in mind while they designed it, they had going to combat deployments and responding to emergencies in mind. I thought you were on point, but I've seen a lot of reviews where people complain about things that serve important functions in a tactical environment. I actually heard one person complain that it had too much organization.
The problem I have with "too much organisation" is that all equivalent bags of this type tend to have two large compartments and all sorts of integrated pouches which (for my purposes) nullifies the purpose of molle. Whilst the bag itself won't be coming on the lifeboat (but will be on the building site) I would prefer to have a pouch I can transfer into my dry suit, admin I can transfer to a holdall, etc. However, it seems the "plain", but full molle, seem to be more expensive than the "integral".
I purchased one of theses a few months ago and its been brilliant. Good, straightforward and informative video.
Perfect review, honest and none of the fluff! 5.11 should compensate you for this review 😂
I've ordered it too and now watching ur vdo for some modifications...Thanx for ur review on this bag .
quick and on point vid - really like that - no fuss around 👍
I've had a 1.0 version of the Rush 24 for about 5 years. Love that pack. It simply refuses to die no matter how much wear & tear it gets from being dragged around every day.
Great review!
Thank you so much!🙏
Thanks!
Hello, nice one, very useful an as you say great to use 👍😃🇬🇧
Ordered this bag for a holiday overseas hopefully it will work well
Nice pack, good overview 👍atb
HAVE THE 72 JUST ORDERD THIS ONE FOR DAY TRIPS👍
Yes it is a bit heavy but with all the organizing pockets it has you don’t need stuff sacks. It is a rugged pack that will get you through your mission, whatever it is.
Hi, thanks for this review, it was really helpful. : )
I was wandering if you could share a link to the bottle pouches + straps you added to the sides of your pack?
Sure!
The straps are from 5.11 themselves and are called the “5.11 Rush Tier System”

Identical pouches are available from several places, with a few options on Amazon:

I bought the v1 back in 2011. Strap broke yesterday (RIP). Been my EDC almost every day for almost 12 years. Hikes, office commute, grocery runs, carry-on for holiday trips, you name it. Best backpack you can wish for.
The only gripe I ever had was the paracord used to open the zip-locks, and I am kinda disappointed they stayed with that design for v2.0.
But why I can't go away from the Rush series is the incredible internal organization capabilities. Without looking, I know what I have where in the pack. Whenever I pickup a "normal" backpack in a store I get very disappointed with the lack of organization.
hockey tape over the paracord to make rigid zipper pulls
Sounds like you got your money's worth though! Mine's still going strong and it's still one of my preferred packs
@@davidoftheforest that's a good suggestion. But for me the issue was not that they were soft, but that they wore down and broke (like any cord will eventually). So I wonder why they simply didn't just upgrade to normal plastic or metallic zipper pulls
@@Wistbacka Happened to me to, but I found it was quite easy (a few minutes) to replace the cord and as a bonus I could change the color of the cord.
@@tobiasander2741 Nice! It was not the cords that was the issue; for me the entire shoulder strap snapped. The paracord-thingies was just a minor in convenience.
My gen 2 backpack has now been with me since this original comment. Love it
Great video. How do you feel about the fact that there isn’t a waist strap? Does that make hiking harder?
Depends entirely on the amount of weight you're carrying. For a day hike where I'm solo, it's not a problem at all. For longer hikes, wild camps, or if you're carrying rescue gear then you'll probably want a waist strap. This pack does have a fitting point for one though, so you can add one if you feel it's needed. I don't currently run one on this pack and find it's not a problem. The straps are also wider and more padded than a lot of other packs which does help a little.
Thanks, vid is useful for me.
Hey do you think this bag is able to fit 3 set of clothes and a pair of shoes?
Can you please tell me where i can find the pouches you used for your water bottles?
have you used this in wet conditions? rain and snow? how does it fair?
Great overview. Could you please make a video about the extra pouches and straps you are using. Those looked great and practical. I am looking for good molle pouches and most I find are just too bulky or poorly made.
The pouches I'm using are just some cheap ones from Amazon - from a brand called "Triwonder" they're not a perfect match for the green but they're close enough for me. The straps are from 5.11 themselves and they call them the "5.11 Rush Tier System"
@@AscendMountains thank you! 🙏
Ive had mine going on 2 yrs and still going strong.
Good to hear! It’s certainly a rugged pack
Mine "finally" (?) Died after 12 years of basically every day use. So you have a long way to go together.
Where did you get those orange dry bags you load into that pack?
They’re from Trespass, very heavy duty, for lighter trips I use Sea to Summit eVac bags
Where did you get the water bottle pouches and extra straps from ?
They're from Amazon, the brand is "Triwonder" and they're available in a few colors. The straps are from 5.11 themselves and are called the "Rush Tier System"
Hi, we're did u get pouches for the bag.
Kind regards
John
They're from Amazon, the brand is "Triwonder" and they're available in a few colors. I found the green matched well enough for me although it's not a perfect match.
One suggestion that one might add is; acquiring a couple M.R.E.'s [Meal Ready to Eat]. Then breaking it down from its main component package. Done right. You've got potentially 5000 calories in one side pocket. Without taking up to much real estate from other inside main compartments. Plus a book of matches. You in there for a minute 😂
Great review - thank you! Could you elaborate a little on how/what compression straps you use to tie down the water bottle holders? It's one of the best ways I've seen of still carrying holders but without having them swing around but can't quite work out how you've managed it! Thanks!
Hi! The straps are made by 5.11 themselves and can be bought separately They call them them the “5.11 Tier System” and clip to the molle nearly - then I just tighten or release as needed!
Hi, have a laptop space? Thanks
Yes.
It does, it's got a slot in the back which is accessible from the top as well as from the site.
That's a tough looking pack. Are you hiking over the Jubilee weekend?
It’s a rugged option definitely; and a first attempt at a product review video - I hope it turned out okay for a first attempt!
New video dropping tomorrow, and this time we’re heading to Wales!
What water pouch is that
There are a few companies that offer very similar pouches; I got these from Triwonder on Amazon:

Why 5.11 replaces Cordura with nyelon in new 2.0 Backpacks?
The Rush 24 2.0 is made with Cordura; but Cordura is made with nylon.
Cordura is a registered trademark for a family of materials; it’s essentially a brand name. Nylon is a generic name for a family of synthetic polymers. You see, Cordura is usually made of nylon but maybe blended with other fibres.
@@AscendMountains but earlier 5.11 claims that fabric is cordura but now they claim nylon.
@@Alpamis87 The 5.11 website says Cordura on the technical specification page for the Rush24 2.0.
That said, it would be accurate to refer to Cordura as either Cordura or Nylon given that Cordura is generally made of Nylon.
Hi, good video. If you don't know yet, the number 12, 24, and 72 corresponds to the number of hours the bag is designed to support.
Regards.
Hello, what color is this?
Heya, this is Ranger Green!
Are you a mountaineer ?
That's a vague term. But - I climb mountains; an awful lot of them in the UK where I live and occasionally abroad. I'm also a rock climber, but mainly sport climbing. I'm also trained in related aspects like outdoor first aid and rescue techniques. But I think the term mountaineer is very broad term since it could cover a very wide range of people so it's not necessarily helpful.
Is it waterproof?
No, the material is thick so it’ll be fine with light rain and water splashes - but it doesn’t have taped seams or waterproof zips fitted, so under continuous or heavy rain, it’s going to get wet inside. Personally I use dry bags inside to organise my kit and to keep everything waterproof instead of going for a waterproof pack
@@AscendMountains What is the brand of dry bags? ... Thank you for your point of view, very useful
ordering this for my gf. She's tiny so this is gonna look like a 75L pack on her lol
Yeah it's definitely a chunky pack; some of my others are skinnier and taller than this one, so might look a little different on a shorter frame - but I find this one is a great hard wearing middle of the ground pack! Let me know if she likes the pack or if you settle on something different
@@AscendMountains she loves it
