5.11 RUSH Backpacks FAQ

Which 5.11 RUSH pack should I choose?

The RUSH 12 (24L) is the daypack for daily EDC and short missions. The RUSH 24 (37L) covers 24-hour missions and is the most versatile of the range. The RUSH 72 (55L) is the 72-hour deployment pack for multi-day operations. The RUSH 100 (60L) is the extended field pack, built for a week or more in the field with detachable side pouches for modular carry.

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?

The RUSH 12 (24L) meets carry-on dimensions for all major Australian and international airlines. The RUSH 24 (37L) sits at the upper limit of carry-on and is compliant with most airlines but check specific dimensions. The RUSH 72 (55L) and RUSH 100 (60L) exceed standard carry-on and are checked luggage only.

What material are 5.11 RUSH packs made from?

RUSH packs use 1050D nylon, a heavy-duty ballistic nylon known for tear and abrasion resistance. The 2.0 series uses updated fabric technology with improved water resistance. YKK zippers throughout, reinforced grab handles, and load-tested webbing.

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.

5.11 backpacks are covered by 5.11's global warranty against manufacturing defects. TacSource handles warranty claims locally for Australian buyers, working with 5.11's regional support. Contact TacSource with your order number and defect details to start a claim.
