Product Description
Designed by special operations combat veteran, Kyle Lamb of VTACTM, the RUSH 12 was created because of end-user input. Its large main compartment has a pocket that will fit most sleeved laptops and the bungeed cinch top will keep any load in place. Two mesh pockets on the inside of the main flap hold computer accessories, electronics, binos, and other smaller items you want readily accessible. The 12"H x 9"W x 1"D Admin compartment on the front of the pack opens wide and has slots and pockets to organize smaller items, plus two key keepers and a large internal zippered pocket. Web platform on the outside of the compartment allows you to add 5.11’s SlickStickTM pouches for even more gear capacity and the 2" x 3" velcro patch is great for flag or unit patches. The 5"H x 8"W zippered pocket above the Admin compartment is a handy spot for radio, phone, travel documents, energy bars, and smaller gear and is also covered with web platform and a velcro patch for your nametape. Two compression straps keep everything snugged closer to your body for comfortable load management. We also tucked our zippered fleece-lined eyewear pocket on top, just behind the heavy-duty grab handle. Dual concealed hydration tube ports are located to the sides of the handle. Both sides feature top-to-bottom web platform, allowing you to attach a host of different 5.11’s SlickStickTM accessories. The hydration pocket that will accommodate bladders up to 60 oz. The extra padding on the back panel promotes ventilation and the anti-skid pads help keep the RUSH 12 in place. Tri-glide fasteners at the bottom corners allow the addition of a waist belt. The padded contoured shoulder straps have four rows of web platform and the sternum strap can be adjusted to four heights. Excess webbing can be gathered at the bottom of the straps with our elastic keepers. Two 3/8" grommets in the bottom panel allow water and debris to escape. We also added four attachment points for 1" webbing to the bottom.

5.11 Rush 12 Back Pack
Customer Reviews
I noticed there was not a review of this bag. I am currently deployed to afghanistan and recently received my sandstone rush 12. I ordered this bag to lug my gear to and from my job site. It is a high quality well thought out ruck I am very impressed. There is already an over saturation of information and positive reviews for the 5.11 Rush series backpacks so I just wanted to touch on a few points.
The first is size. This is a small backpack. The next size up Rush 24 might be best for most people, however I take pride in packing efficiently, being minimalist, and traveling light so i am happy with the rush 12 size. The main compartment is just big enough to hold a 13 inch computer inside a protective case, without affecting the sun glasses pocket that hangs down from the top. With the laptop i have enough room in the main compartment for a days worth of gear, or a complete change of clothes. The admin pouch on the front is very spacious, but the accessory pocket above the admin pouch is a little smaller than i imagined. i've fit about 6 packs of cigarettes in it (for size comparison not my daily smoking ration), but that was bulging and eating into the main compartment area behind it. Over all the bag is a VERY manageable size and i have no problems jumping into vehicles, slinging a weapon, or climbing around the work site while wearing this bag. It is well within the limit for even the strictest air line carry on regs
The second thing I'll touch on is the Sandstone color. If you are in the ARMY: my chain of command finds the sandstone color acceptable for wear with both ACU's and Multi Cams. I am unsure of the USMC thoughts on bags, but to me the color seems very USMC. Its a desert tan with a hint of OD thrown in, over all very military friendly. My 1 issue with the color is 5.11 does not currently make ANY molle pouches in the sandstone color.
In summary, the pack is great, no doubt about that. I hope the size and coloration are a little more clear for potential buyers.
This bag is so well constructed that I really forget about trying to baby it. It's stitching and molle system is just awesome. I typically carry on any given day as part of my EDC:
Maxpedition Triad Admin Puch (See my review for that)
Klean Kanteen w/sleeve
Macbook Pro 13-inch
Droid X
Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight and Watertight First Aid (Custom)
Olive Green Shemagh
Paclite Goretex Shell
Frontier Pro Water Filter
Platypus 3l Collapsable
Platypus 100 oz Hydration System
Smith Pocket Knife Sharpener
RAT 3 Fixed Blade
That is just a light carry...weighing in around 10pounds or so...If I really cram it in there I can hold SOOOO much more and then some. The great thing about this bag is its small size, it is very un-assuming and can easily be carried without allot of fatigue. The harness system and yolk around your neck is probably one of the most comfortable systems I have ever used and I am a total gear and bag junkie so that is saying allot.
I just got the 5.11 Bail Out Bag and will be switching the Rush twelve to my primary Day Hike and Bug Out Bag using the the new bag as my EDC (I carry to much crazy stuff to work)...I will leave the Rush twelve safely in my car for use if the SHTF. I have had allot of bags and this is up there with one of the best I have ever owned.
