Best pack out there,
I’m an Army officer and this is one of the best packs on the market. It works as an all-purpose, large capacity travel bag and a rough tactical 3-day pack. The build quality is the best out there (1050 denier, stronger than 1650) with sturdy zippers. The multitude of zippered, mesh storage on the inside is GREAT. The cherry on top is its low profile when it’s not filled. If you are only carrying a few things the bag stays thin and doesn’t look like you are going camping at Starbucks.

Superb Ruck,
Purchased this for an upcoming deployment (fourth OIF/OEF tour), so I knew what I was looking for, and this pack is it. Picking out the right ruck and getting it “right-sized” is difficult; too large and you’re dragging around a piece of luggage; too small and you’re tying gear to the outside, snagging it on everything. Quality was important to me as well & 5.11 has a very good reputation.
PROS:
– qualtity is superb – very rugged – built to withstand abuse
– pockets – lots of ’em and very usable; easy to organize
– expandable – webbing allows numerous MOLLE attachment points
– built in Camelbak compatability
– Right size to accomodate a 3-4 day patrol in cold weather
CONS: NONE (it’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for!)

Great bug out bag,
I’ve carried a lot of civilian backpacks and military rucksacks in my day and this bag is great for its size. It’s the perfect size to make a 72-hour bug out bag with endless options for pockets and the MOLLE webbing throughout the pack. I also bought the 5.11 Tactical MOAB 10 to use as a quick go-bag with the bare essentials and use the Rush 72 as a larger bag to carry food, clothing, and shelter. Using the Rush-tier strap system, you can dock your MOAB bag to any of the Rush series bags. This is a quality bag that will stand up to many years of abuse.
