The 5.11 Tactical RUSH 72 2.0 Backpack features a web platform for modular and customized attachment of accessories and gear. It has a hydration compartment with a hook/loop strap hanger, accessed at the back panel with an ambidextrous zipper configuration for left or right-handed use. The backpack also includes a quick detach/connect sternum strap with tension adjustment and multiple positioning points. The padded and contoured yoke shoulder construction has adjustable quick release straps, while the waist pads increase comfort by spreading pressure and loads across the hips. The back panel ventilation channels reduce contact area and allow warm vapor to escape, and the closed cell foam padding resists moisture retention for improved hypoallergenic properties. The backpack has dual zippered front and main compartments with cords and molded grip pulls, as well as a large zippered front pocket with an interior admin panel, key hook, and stash pockets to organize regularly used gear. Additionally, it features a strategically positioned concealed Back-Up Belt System pistol CCW compartment with a break-away hook and loop for immediate access.
