Are 5.11 RUSH backpacks MOLLE compatible?

Yes. Every RUSH pack has full MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing across the front and sides for attaching pouches, holsters, medical kits and accessories. The MOLLE grid uses standard 1" spacing compatible with any MOLLE-compatible pouch, including 5.11's own pouch range and third-party tactical pouches.

Are 5.11 RUSH packs hydration ready?

Yes. All RUSH packs include a dedicated hydration compartment sized to fit standard 2L to 3L hydration bladders. The hydration pocket has a hose exit port at the top of the pack for routing over the shoulder. Bladders are sold separately.

What laptop size fits in a 5.11 RUSH pack?

The RUSH 12 fits up to a 15" laptop. The RUSH 24, 72 and 100 fit up to a 17" laptop in the padded rear compartment. Laptop pockets are padded and sit against the wearer's back for protection.

Are 5.11 RUSH packs carry-on compatible?

How do I care for my 5.11 RUSH backpack?

Spot clean with mild soap and warm water. Avoid submerging or machine washing which damages waterproof coatings and hardware. Air dry only, away from direct heat. Zippers can be lubricated with silicone-based lubricant to extend life. Store dry to prevent mildew.
