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.
