My boyfriend got me this bag a while ago and I’ve used it a few times for traveling and hiking. This video just showed me new compartments and tips I never thought of! Thank you! It’s a very comfortable bag for me (I’m 162 cm) and I love it even though I have no tactical gear needs.
This week, I just purchased the olive green version of this backpack for a discount. This bag is well-made and looks unique. I customized the bag by adding some pouches to suit my needs. 5.11 makes excellent products for the price.
I was also looking for a review of this pack so thanks very much for taking the time to do this video. Like you I always use the admin pouches on my packs so I'd definitely have to add an external admin pouch to the pack. Looks great though. I also think that despite the MOLLE it actually doesn't look too "tactical" due to the roll-top design. Would probably work really well as an urban EDC bag.
Nice review! I just bought one yesterday because I make frequent overnight trips and this bag fits the bill nicely. The CCW pocket easily holds my G19 or 4" 1911 in a holster. 511 makes quality gear and clothing, so when they have a sale I take advantage because their stuff expensive, but you get what you pay for.
When i saw your vid post i couldnt help but have a flashback of the good ol days, seeing one of the OG's YOU and a 5.11 review, next we'll be talking about Maxpadition and Spyderco's new knife :-) Good to see youre still making content. I dropped off the radar as I am the OG of getting de-monetized 15yrs ago.
Really great review for an unusual bag from 5.11, thanks! Would be great if you could stuff a pillow or something into the bag for reviews like this so we could get an idea of how that bag looks when filled.
Hey man, I appreciate this review. You're literally the only person having reviewed this bag on YT! I picked one up at my local 5.11. I just happened upon it, as I was in search of a new bag. Here's my question to you. Now that you've maybe had this bag a while, has it gotten any easier to get the zippers around the bottom corners of the back panel? I can see in your video that you had to rug on it and fiddle with it quite a bit. I've tried two of these bags now and they're both unbelievably fiddly. And to the point that sometimes the zippers actually skip "teeth" while I'm tugging the zipper around the corner... The design of this bag is brilliant, and perfect for my needs with the addition of an admin pouch on the front. But those zippers troll the hell out of me and it doesn't seem like they're going to let up. Any insight???
So I just ordered rush 12 2.0 then I saw this back pack and the deploy 24 afterwards. Was worried but after seeing vids on each I'm glad I ordered the rush 12 2.0. The ccw pocket on this one is pretty thin. Not that seeing ccw printing is gonna be a major issue on this one but it's definitely not gonna print in the 12 2.0.
I bought the black one and this replaced my SOC Apex assault pack as my EDC/laptop backpack Edit: I would also like to mention: the roll-top form factor also gave me herschel backpack vibes, one reason why I bought this lol
eyespy0099 the closest thing 2 Old School U.S. GI Military Canteens that both Dual Water Bottle Pockets of your 5.11 Eldo RT Pack in this video will probably hold/store are either Wildo Explorer Bottles 1 Litre Capacity 9.25" x 3.94" x 1.97" or Wildo Hiker Bottles 0.7 Litres Capacity 8"x4" if ya want 2 go with Old School Military Style Canteens on the Exterior!
I caught this today in the sale and really not sure I can keep it. There's much to like (colors, not overly tactical, straps, clamshell -for a roll top-, bottom material, zippers seem water resistant), but the lack of admin of really any sort and a CCW pocket that I belive is just too small, are real shortcomings. I agree it's not worth more than $70 and it's much less versatile than my AMP24 (word from store is AMP series and gear sets are in their way out). I'm literally scratching my head over this bag.
It was interesting to see your take on this bag. I waited weeks for my local 511 store to get this bag in so I could see it in person. The first thing I didn’t like was the bungee cord over the MOLLE webbing. Realistically, they cannot be used together. It is one or the other. The next disappointment was the concealed carry section. I can see a small firearm like a Sig P365 fitting in there but it seems too small for something like a Glock 19. The salesperson was very underwhelmed by the bag and showed me how the zippers on the main compartment gets caught on the flap when you are trying to zip it back up. I noticed you struggled some with the zippers. I think most people that end up attaching a pouch to the back will remove the bungee cord all together. I am glad I didn’t order this bag and waited to see it in person. I honestly think this is the worst bag 511 has ever made. The salesperson at the store was equally disappointed. I had high hopes for this bag but I think it leaves a lot to be desired, especially for the price.

Great video. Explanatory and good visuals of the bag, particularly how it looks on the wearer.

First review of eldo rt pack! Thank you!
Good review. Would like to see it full of gear. It peaked my interest as a camera bag. Get one of those tenba camera inserts and your good to go.
Thank you! I''ve been looking forward to a video on this bag and you've helped me make up my mind about getting it.
Really great review for an unusual bag from 5.11, thanks! Would be great if you could stuff a pillow or something into the bag for reviews like this so we could get an idea of how that bag looks when filled.
Looks like it would be a good bag for a boy in boy scouts 👍. Thank you for the review
Just got this bag, thanks for the video
Great review! Ordered one this morning for half off.

What the biggest size of laptop that can fit into it?
Hey Buddy - how you liking this pad still? Looking to get into rolltop i THINK and wanted to circle back around?
These are on a 48 hour sale right now at 5.11. $69.99.
I just bought one.
I think thats why we’re all here lol

The bag looks like a patchwork of left over AMP Series materials and ideas. Built tough though, the piece of shit will last forever.
@@jr-ep8ol my moab 12, rush 12 and rush 6 bags have so far latest almost 10 years.
Thank you for making this
Thanks for the video!
This backpack makes you look Suspicious
Good review, thank you!

I just got one and my G19 in a holster fits perfectly fine in the CCW pocket. Are you sure you looked at the CCW pocket?
@@garymessinetti1874 yes I did. It just looked too small to me. Thank you for the information.
The problem is that their products availability is just so bad. Would have liked to buy this back but it's not possible.
Where is the CCW pocket?
Go to the 5:10 mark
I wanna like it but damn it if it’s not a clone of a chrome industries barrage cargo pack
Strange that they designed that back pocket BEHIND the straps. Wonder who prefers this and why companies keep doing this…?
Thank you !
That will be my next Bushcraft bag
It looks like a paper grocery bag when it’s open. 70 bucks on sale. It’s an interesting bag at that price any more $ and I’m out.
I really don't like that
Boring
U take too much
