The Rush 12 is a excellent pack and represents an overall fantasic deal when you can find sale prices. It is still a good value even at the usual $99 price point on Amazon. This pack is well made and uses heavy duty nylon in all important construction points. The admin pocket is very good and the main compartment has a few mesh pouches and a nice draw string dump pouch area. There is plenty of MOLLE around the outside of the pack for accessories.
For the compression straps, it would be good if 5.11 provided two straps on each side that were movable (similar to the First Tactical strap configuration). To make up for the factory compression strap configuration, I used a 5.11 tier system strap on each side of the pack to serve as adjustable lower compression straps and they work great. I do not worry too much about the tier system straps coming loose during use (I do not generally care for the C clamp setup that 5.11 like to use on removable/movable straps, as the sternum strap on my Rush 24 has come undone a few times during past travel).
The fleece storage packet is very handy as is the top zippered stash pocket. The shoulder straps.for this pack have received some mixed reviews; however, I have not had any problems with the shoulder straps and find them to be generally comfortable. The grab handle seems sturdy and well made and is comfortable in my hand.
If you feel as though you have to use a waist belt with this pack, you can do so by providing your own web belt (I use a black 5.11 web belt and feed it through the belt strap holders at the base of the bag. Works just fine when needed).
If you want a bit more utility, you can add a bit of shock cord to the MOLLE areas on the sides and/or bottom of the pack. This way, you can easily and quickly get external lash ups for lightweight items that you might require quick access to.
While the Rush family of packs is moving toward becoming a tenured platform, the Rush packs packs perform extremely well and will do whatever is asked.of them. I still like the very Spartan styling and utility. Make no mistake - This pack continues to be a winner and I look forward to seeing how 5.11 will build.upon this very capable and affordable pack. Always consider 5.11 packs before buying bargain packs that will wear and fail. Thank you.

Great backpack
March 2014: Several folks have asked about the size and proportions of this backpack, I imagine because a handful of reviewers have stated the pack looks comically small on their frame. The dimensions are, very roughly, 12 inches in width and 18 inches in height. In terms of its scale, it is indistinguishable from any regular backpack you see on campus -- in fact, I have seen a number of these Rush 12's being worn by other students. December 2014: The backpack has survived three semesters and several road trips now with no visible wear or tear whatsoever. Zippers and stitching are still strong and intact, the bottom isn't stretching despite sometimes having to carry four or five thick textbooks and accompanying notebooks. April 2015: Over a year old, now, and the Rush 12 has survived day-to-day use without a single complaint. The backpack has endured everything from hauling textbooks and a change of clothes from one state to the next, to a weekend of rappelling. No tears, no zipper problems, it doesn't even get that dirty, somehow. June 2017: I've used this backpack practically every single day for the three years I've had it. No wear and tear to speak of. All of the original zippers are still in place and working perfectly fine, the mesh pockets are intact despite being regularly crammed with snaggy stuff like flashlights, car keys, etc. The top pocket is great for my wallet and flashlight. The lower pocket is perfect for a Kindle Paperwhite and a Cambridge Pitt Minion Bible. I think my favorite thing about the Rush 12 is the versatility that its size offers. I can carry a pack for a three day camp, I've carried everything from AR-15 lower and upper assemblies to Wide Margin Bibles in this thing. Well worth the purchase! July 2018: Well, I'm graduating next week which means this backpack has endured approximately four years of daily use. One of the zipper cords frayed off, which I replaced with a small loop of tygon tubing. The sun may have ever slightly bleached out the black in certain spots. Besides that, this backpack has endured a lot of abuse with very little wear and tear to show for. Next up: graduate school. July 2020: Nothing new to report. This backpack has continued to hold up, well into graduate school and even fatherhood. I recently puchased an MSI Laptop and sadly it will not fit inside my Rush 12. Since this product from 5.11 has served me so well, I'm going to be purchasing a Rush 24.

Sin palabras.
Yo pedi en un inicio la 24 Rush pero es un poco voluminosa para lo que es, para el día a día esta es tu mejor opción, 5.11 con su calidad insuperable y una de mis marcas favoritas, el material es sumamente durable y resistente, con una buena tela hidrofobica, por lo que no te tendrás que preocupar por un buen rato por la lluvia. Puedes usarla por años y incluso verás que se sigue viendo igual (yo llevo 6 meses pero amigos tienen años), en ella cabe cualquier computadora y a sobras, es la versión chica de 5.11 pero su tamaño es perfecto para el día, y con sus accesorios.... Uff, en fin, esta mochila vale lo que vale (a mi $1800 mx), y no te arrepentirás en absoluto. 100 x 100 recomendable y super personalizable.Josué De SantosSin palabras.

Excelente mochila
Lo primero que debemos tener claro es que la calidad se paga.Delta01Excelente mochila
Reviewed in Spain on June 2, 2019
Una mochila hecha con materiales de gran calidad y pensada para optimizar cada centímetro de ella.
Dispone de 16 bolsillos de diferentes tamaños donde podrás organizar lo que desees llevar.
El material es de nylon 1000D, diseñada para soportar lluvia y salpicaduras; pero no es estanca, así que no se puede sumergir.
Al igual que el resto, las cremalleras son de excelente calidad YKK.
El sistema de soporte hace que sea sumamente cómoda a la hora de llevarla en la espalda.
Es considerablemente más pesada que una mochila barata, pero es evidente que al tener tantos compartimientos y estar hecha de buen material tiene que ser más pesada.
Posee sistema Molle en el frente, laterales e incluso en las tiras de sujeción; de esta forma podrás enganchar lo que desees, incluso adosar otros bolsos más pequeños.
Este modelo (Rush 12) es la mochila más pequeña de la marca 5.11, pero al decir pequeña no me malinterpreten, es una mochila donde se puede guardar en su compartimiento principal un ordenador portátil de 15”. Yo considero que es el tamaño perfecto para usar a diario; poseo varios bolsos y mochilas de la marca 5.11, pero este tamaño es ideal para llevar mi portátil y varios libros usando solo el compartimiento principal, lo que deja aún mucho espacio para otras cosas.

Reviewed in Italy on November 2, 2016
Completamente coperto di molle ha una cinghia per lato per tenere lo zaino compatto.
Gli spallacci sono disegnati in maniera perfetta, sono molto imbottiti e un po' rigidi. Presentano delle clip per lo sgancio rapido in caso di emergenza.
La cinghia che li collega è regolabile e si può muovere in alto e basso.
Lo schienale è ben imbottito e ha due pad in gomma antiscivolo, non ha una fascia lombare ma ha degli agganci per montarle in seguito. Al suo interno c'è un supporto rigido che mantiene dritto lo zaino anche da vuoto.
Tra lo schienale e il comparto principale c'è una tasca per una camelback, il tubo può passare attraverso un foro nello scomparto principale e da li' uscire da uno dei due fori presenti a lato della maniglia.
Nello scoparto principale ci sono tasche di retina chiuse con zip, sul lato posteriore e frontale. Sul lato posteriore c'è anche una sacca stagna per contenere vestiti sporchi.
La tasca admin è piena di tasche e zip per contenere il vostro edc tutto organizzato.
Sulla parte superiore c'è una tasca felpata, ottima per contenere occhiali o smartphone.
Nel complesso è uno zaino da 10/10, compratelo senza indugi.
Arrivato nei tempi indicati dentro ad un'ottima confezione.
Le tasche verdi presenti sulla foto non sono incluse nella spedizione.
