5.11 5.11 RUSH24 2.0-GR 5.11 Tactical Backpack Rush 2 (Open Box)

I packed this as a BOB, basically enough things to survive for 3+ days almost anywhere provided I was already wearing some rudimentary outer garments. It's currently at 19 pounds but I plan on adding a few more items. I carried it on a three mile hike over rolling terrain and it carried the weight well, even without a waist cummerbund. If it were packed too heavy, it might pull on your shoulders too much so you might want to upgrade to the 55 L, which I also own. The numerous compartments and pockets are nice, but are almost too much. They could probably only include half as many and it would still be perfect for my chosen application. The bag fills up quickly, extra socks, thermals, pants, beanie and shirt in the middle, largest compartment commanded all of the available volume. The side pockets are ideal for water bottles (not sure if they'll fit 500 mL Nalgene but carried a Berkey Sport nicely. I think a Nalgene would fit.) Plenty of molle loops to attach gear to the outside, but I would caution against overdoing it on the weight of the pack given it only has shoulder straps with a chest band. The nylon and zippers seem pretty robust, but I haven't ye tested them under field conditions for any type of duration. I like 5-11 Tactile pants (though they'll get holes under extreme conditions like crawling under barbed wire or over thick brush) and if this holds up similarly, I think it will do the job. It is a good price point between the 24 L at $100 and 55 L at $175. I checked out the 24 L but t was much too small. The 55 L was more than I needed for this application. Overall, I think it will do what it was purchased to do.
