5.11 Tactical Rush 72 backpack review

The 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 is a versatile, rugged backpack that is designed to be a full-featured 72 hour tactical bag.

Among the Rush line, which is their flagship backpack line, the 72 ranks as one of our favorites in our Best Tactical Backpacks and Best Bug Out Bags articles.  

Not only does it look pretty cool, it comes with some amazing features as well. With a large stuff-it pocket and excellent internal organizational pockets it makes stowing your great easy. It also has strategic pockets for your different gear and helps keep it all organized. We also liked the 5.11 Tactical Rush 24, which is a smaller version of the 72.  They both are very popular and have created a lot of buzz with their fans.

The GORUCK GR1 Tactical Backpack is one of the most rugged, versatile, and feature loaded backpacks on the market today. It is a U.S.-made backpack engineered to Armed Forces specifications, but it also offers a civilian-friendly design.

The pack is a favorite among travelers, military personnel, law enforcement, hikers, emergency preppers, students, and, of course, GORUCK Challenge participants. This pack was specifically built for the Special Forces and has been used in Baghdad and New York City. (1)

The Gr1 is loaded with features that truly set it apart from even the stiffest competition. GORUCK takes pride in its craftsmanship and these packs are made to withstand even the most severe circumstances. While it might look relatively plain from the outside or simple when compared to other tactical backpacks, diving into the details will reveal a backpack that’s far from “plain and simple.”
