The LV6 actually attaches differently to the LV18 where the zips are still accessible - Doth Savek has a video on how to attach it properly

I bought this pack about a month ago and I love it! I haven’t even been tempted to buy another bag since which is a big surprise to myself haha

@pastortlc1 3 жыл бұрын

I bought this bag awhile back based on your recommendation. I also have the LV 6 and I attached it per 5.11 instructions and I just keep it attached as an extra pocket all the time knowing that if I really needed to use it separately, I can take it off. I also have the LV 10 which is a great carry when I don’t need as much. One of my favorite 5.11 bags and about the best all around bag I have found without a tactical look. Thanks for your reviews!

6:10...That top Admin pouch would drive me crazy...reminds me of the Maxpedition Vulture II with a pouch on the top, and it won't allow a solid standing bag, when it is put down on ground. It would always fall over, or needed to be leaned up against something....It was that failure in the bag, that got me to buy the 511 Rush 24 replacement.

Excellent review as usual G. It does look ideal and after seeing lots of similar packs over the past few days Im delighted at all the features 5.11 puts in their products. Easy to take those pluses for granted. Thank you for this review. Happy subscriber here all these years. Be safe and happy dude!

I love these bags. I have all of the LV series bags and, for their intended purpose, I love them all. The only real way to attach the LV6 to the LV18 is to mount it backwards. Or to run the clips on the LV6 up through the top duraflex buckle strap attachment. This takes much longer but give the perfect secured feeling as a dedicated front pouch. Other than that I’ve always loved this setup. It has become my bugout bag at this point using the LV6 as a full med bag with tourniquets, meds, and scissors. My edc is the LV10. Much more practical and lightweight edc with plenty of storage for things like my iPad, some snacks, and a smaller med pouch. Look forward to their next versions as well.

Have owned the LV18 and LV6 since March . LOVE THE BAG , but like you I feel there is a couple of issues that could be tweaked .... OVERALL , I gave up all my other carry stuff for this combo and I haven’t regretted it yet. The one thing I did about the LV6 carry on the LV18 bag was to use to small zip ties , they hold it in a excellent up and tight position allowing me access to the LV6’s openings.... if I need to separate , about 10-15 seconds and it’s free , cut ties with small set of Pmed scissors . Which travel with me through all TSA inspections....their blunt tip . I have not had any issues with my 40 oz Aluminum Water bottle falling out, I suppose if I turn my back up side down it would otherwise it’s traveled fine. I agree with the admin issue and wished they had put something on the underside of the shoulder straps just to give a Little Grippiness is as well.

Hey Aaron, have you checked out the Vertx EDC Ready Pack 2.0? I'm thinking about getting it for my first higher-end EDC pack, and was just wondering if you had looked at it, or would look into doing a video review on it. I'm pretty sure you did a review on the original Ready Pack a while back, so just curious to see what you think of the changes they made for the 2.0 version.

This looks like a great pack. Over time I've come to the conclusion that you and I have very similar tastes in gear( especially knives!). Because of that I'm looking at getting a 5.11rush 24 for my truck bag, and this bag for my edc. My only hesitation is will it fit a guy my size ( 6'3" , 350, I know I'm TOO big). But I really want to get out and hike and do some woodscrafting to help lose some of that size but I need a pack that would work for me. Any feedback or ideas at all would help. I really enjoy your channel and wish you and your family all the blessings from God. Thank you for your time!!

I actually have both rush 12 and the 24. I'm 5'7 about 170 and the rush 24. I find the rush 24 a little too big for me, BUT PERFECT for packing everything I need. 2 upgrades I recommend getting. Get a laptop sleeve because there is ZERO laptop padding. And washer plugs because the bottom has port holes. I cover them up because I take my bag skiing in the winter. I regret buying both bags because the rush 12 is perfect for my size but 24 is a bit too big cause I have a kinda small frame. You'll honestly be tempted to wear this bag everywhere cause it can handle anything :D. Get the 24 and don't look back 😄😄

Nice bag. Extra pouch for lower portion shouldn't be for quick deployment for a weapon. Keeps people from trying to get into it as well should one carry a firearm in there while walking. I'm against off body carry. If you off body carry, quick deployment of a firearm is not going to happen, so having the straps secure that pouch isn't a bad idea or design flaw.

Just don’t fall into the trap of thinking there is one perfect bag out there just waiting to be discovered. That will drive you mad. People have different preferences and purposes, and changing a design to fix some perceived problem is likely to bring about a new (at least for some people). So it really comes down to understanding the trade offs you’re making - always keeping your target customer in mind. Every aspect, even if not perfect for everyone, should be purposeful. I wish you well if you pursue this!

I just got this bag and am sorry to say that I am underwhelmed. It is supposed to be 29L but is barely bigger than my 22L Kodiak Gearslinger. In addition, my 15" MacBook Pro does not fit in the laptop sleeve, and the key keeper seems very flimsy and cheaply made. Finally, I do not like that there are no side compression straps. If it had the compression straps I would probably overlook the other shortcomings.

Lee Endley depends on your use. I had the rush 24 for a few months, but loading it up and bringing it on carry on it looked just a bit to boxy/tactical. I recently purchased the amp 24 and have been quite pleased! I would agree that rush 24 is a solid bag tho! 👍

Tactical gear emerged from a need to have practical access to a variety of tools which are used to solve a variety of problems which is sturdy and not gaudy. What defines tactical gear? Subdued colors, durable material, modularization and specialized pouches. That particular niche market happens to fill the rather large markets of those in duty service (military, law enforcement, fire fighter/EMT) jobs, those who are veterans of those jobs and the average Joe who likes to keep his shit organized and is driven by the buy once cry once approach to gear. Why does the gear look tactical? Because that is where the economy of scale meets the consumer demand.
