Description
 

Sized for a three-day excursion, the RUSH 72 Backpacks is loaded with the features operators need and want.  Designed by special operations combat veteran, Kyle Lamb of VTAC™, these backpacks come with two large compartments and a compression strap system that allows expandability depending upon how much gear you carry. 

The front section of the pack includes an organizer panel with two zippered mesh compartments; a large zippered pocket, a key fob and radio/magazine pockets with hook and loop straps.  The main compartment has three mesh zippered pockets and a separate large cinch pocket.  There are two full-length side pockets that can handle a variety of different items including large water bottles.  The top of the backpack has a separate fleece lined eyeglass pocket and a smaller external zippered gear pocket.  We’ve added molle-compatible webbing to the front and side of the pack, allowing you to attach a host of different 5.11’s SlickStick™ accessory pouches. 

The padded shoulder straps also have molle-compatible webbing along with an adjustable sternum strap.  The padded waist straps can be stowed away in hidden pockets and the padded back allows ventilation for those long hikes.  We’ve also included a reinforced hydration pocket that allows you to add a hydration bladder for immediate access to water.  We finished the pack off with a heavy-duty, nylon carry handle at the top. 

Hardware
Constructed of water-resistant 1050-denier nylon, this pack is built to last.  We use quality YKK® zippers throughout and our high-impact plastic clips remain stable in all temperatures.  We’ve added elastic keepers to secure the ends of all straps.  Once you’ve got the pack adjusted to your size, you’ll be able to secure the ends of all straps with these elastic keepers.

VTAC™
5.11 Tactical has joined forces with Special Operations Combat Veteran (RET) Kyle E. Lamb.  He served his country for 21 years, 17 of which were with the most elite elements of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.  He has been decorated for valor in Mogadishu, Somalia, during the battle that was made famous by the movie Blackhawk Down.  He was also decorated for valor during Operation Iraqi Freedom.  SGM Lamb is one of the most credible and sought-after shooting and tactics instructors in the country.  The owner of Viking Tactic, Inc. (VTAC™), and the inventor of the Viking Tactics Sling, his master-level expertise comes directly from real-world experience.

SlickStick™
This carrier features our SlickStick™ molle-attachment system.  Slickstick™ pouches are compatible with standard molle attachment systems, yet functions like none other. The Slickstick™ slides through a UV-resistant ring making it easier to arrange and attach your pouches and other gear. Slickstick attaches like a normal molle attachment, but it slides to make it easier. To remove an item, just pop the snap and pull the stick out.

Value
The RUSH 72 Backpacks are high-end backpacks with a low-end price.  The variety of feature along with the practical design makes this backpacks a superior value.  We are proud to have partnered with Kyle Lamb to provide such a full-featured pack at such a great price.

A Logistical Dream February 21, 2009
Reviewer: DWPHX from Review on 5.11tactical.com  
I have come to find that "amateurs talk tactics but professionals talk logistics." This bag may be an answer to your logistical needs.

I travel and train in all parts of the world. I have been looking for a backpack that can be used to pack what I need for my trip and can be used as a carry on. I like the idea of one bag that can be carried so that I can keep track of all my items and not worry about the airlines loosing my luggage or getting charged a fee to check a bag.

There are a lot of bags that can be purchased for your various needs. Trying to find a quality bag that is the proper size can be a challenge. The Rush 72 meets my needs for travel.

The bag is well constructed with several compartments to arrange gear for easy access. For security reasons I chose a bag that was "black." I looked at travelers from around the world and a majority of luggage is black. I did not want a green or tan bag to immediately stand out and possibly identify myself as military/LE.

I keep this bag packed and ready with my essential items. All I have to do is pack clothing and I am out the door in minutes. If you pack "smart" this may be the only bag you need for your excursion.

STAY SAFE

Excellent buy February 21, 2009
Reviewer: Brownie from McLean VA, USA (Review on 5.11tactical.com)  
I really hate to give a product 5 stars in every category, but this backpack rates them, at least for me.

I've been humping stuff around various places in Afghanistan for a number of months now, and this backpack has stood up to the abuse so far. The primary things important to me are durability and functionality. Will the straps start to rip off if I cram this thing as full as I possibly can? Not so far. And its amazing how much stuff can fit in all the pockets. Agree with the comments about needing more external connection points, and maybe some more internal ones as well.

At first I was a bit put off by the weight of the pack, but given how much much it can hold and how durable it is, I can understand why. The hip straps really help distribute the load.

Tip: there is a thin pocket that runs the full length of the pack, sitting just behind the wearer's back. Its easy to miss."
