Shane Reid, Morningside, QLD. He wanted a 5.11 Tactical RUSH 12 Backpack and he's got it! Congratulations Shane.
The Rush12 is what I need. I travel a lot, the only thing that I know can with stand the abuse of travel is military quality backpack and that’s what I’ll get with the Rush12!
I need a new pair of 5.11 atac shield,us 12, my are screwed after 3 years of security work. The tread is gone,many thanks guys.
I have almost the complete kit.
Rush 12 & 24.
Pants, shirt ,jacket, hat and belt.
What i need is a pair of boots.
As i work though out cape york and the Torres straits I couldn’t be missed..
5.11 is the best. Forget all others.
Already own MOABs 6 and 10, as well as 2 RUSH 24s and yet I still want a RUSH 72! Fantastic quality and I recommend it any chance I get.
I have been looking intently at the Push Pack, for its inconspicuous messenger design and practicality for my EDC purposes.
5.11 gear can’t be beat, it’s tough, the clothing is hard wearing and comfy and that’s why I always choose 5.11
Been eyeing a Rush 24 for a while to replace my old bag. Would love a new bag that I can take anywhere that will withstand anything!
i need a new backpack for range work, so a rush 24 would be perfect.
Just recently bought our first two 5.11 tactical items – now just need a RUSH 72 to compliment my kit – that I can use as my BOB.
My choice is the Havoc 30 Backpack. This would be perfect for me as my old SES backpack that I use is falling apart. I use it only the SES (State Emergency Service) callouts, specifically for searches. As a Land Search Team Leader, I carry many items which are shared within the team as well as my own gear, such as water bladder, compass and GPS, spare socks, snacks, first aid items, just to name a few.
The item I would like to win is a rush12 backpack. It would not only improve my EDC but also keep me looking badass whilst i walk my tea-cup chihuahua. Because nothing says your a man like walking your chihuahua with a badass 5.11 bag
The Mira 2 in 1 Camo pack looks like it takes the best of the 5.11 packs and puts it together in one pack. I would use it for work as it fits laptops comfortably and I could then still use it on range days to carry all of my bits and pieces.
Responder ALS 2900 bag: would be perfect to set up my own emergency kit for the car. You just never know what you’ll come across… might be the difference between life and death for someone….
I use 5.11 at work. Cargos and stryke long sleeve shirts. I have a rush 24 and Moab 6 back pack . I use 5.11 cross for trainers and I use the rush 24 for work and training and load it up with weights for training. Toughest gear i’ve Owned. I would love to expand my training to include the 5.11 plate carrier and purpose built non-ballistic weight inserts 5.11 has proven to be the toughest and most reliable gear – no other brand could compare !!
Would love a Covert18 Backpack, have a baby on the way and there’s no way I’m using the Wife’s designer pamper pack. Need something durable and filled with functionality and what I see looks perfect!
I’d love a Rush 72 pack! Our boy is just getting to the age where we’ll start taking him camping so the size and organisation of that pack would be a big help towards getting started.
I train In Kapap which is an Israeli combative system and I’ve been wearing 5.11 gear train in. Very durable gear. Have lasted me 3 years of intensive physical punishment, but alas they are getting a bit on the worn out side. I need new boots. My are still very comfortable, but the holes are getting bigger. Seriously need an upgrade.
I would love a pair of the new Defender Flex jeans in the straight leg boot cut. They are a great idea to look less ‘tacticool’ without losing functionality. I could wear them on duty or off. They have been hard to get in Australia until now.
I’d love a new pair of Taclite 8" Coyote boots!
Because of an accident years ago, both my ankles were broken, as a result, I now need Supportive footwear to stop my ankles rolling in!
I’ve tried many boots over the years, but the best I found were the Coyote, and they were given to me by my grandad, so I have a sentimental attachment!
I still have them, but after a couple years wear, they no longer have the same support as when New, which is why I really need a new pair!
I reckon a 5.11 Tactical Kilt would be perfect. I work with at risk kids up the top end of the Flinders Rangers.
We spend eight days out in the bush at a time and a kilt would be killer.
Love the WYLDCAT PANT they are perfect for the job and everyday wear
SHEAR™ POLARIZED Glasses for superior vision and glare resistance these are perfect for all my activities
My old messenger bag I use for work is on its very last legs and the opportunity to replace it with a RUSH Delivery LIMA would be terrific. Its hard to think of only one item to choose from the terrific range but I am in urgent need of a new bag so necessity wins out.
How’s the timing! I bought a rush24 earlier in the year and have just got a MOAB6 as a birthday present and now have a serious 5.11 addiction! The quality is top notch. I’ve spent the last week reading and watching reviews of the rush12 in multicam which I really need/want for work! ????
I’d love the Womens’ Spitfire Shooting Shirt it’s practical and a great look for wearing to the shooting range.
I have always wanted a 5.11 SOMS 2.0 to use when flying OS for work and need just one piece of luggage that can carry it all and is built tough.
Have never been able to achieve the dream of justifying just exactly how much this gear would benefit my mental health and our family as a whole to my wife :) I will keep believing the dream and the expo would be a tactical dream.
I would love to get another pair of 5.11 Stryke TDUs as after 4 or 5 years I’ve started to finally wear out the two pairs of 5.11 TDUs I currently use. Best piece of kit I’ve ever bought.
Been wanting the Rush 24 for a long time, have heard how great they are storage wise and their durability. I’d love to own one, being able to use it for camping and hiking and for the fact if i get stranded anywhere ill have the necessary essentials to get me through until i am able to get rescued.
I’m not much an equipment ‘hoarder’ but have always wanted a good tactical watch. The H.R.T.Titanium Watch would be ideal, certainly will go well in my daily duties.
I’ve always wanted a pair of 5.11 Range Master Boots. I’m always out at the range and unfortunately for me my running shoes are my most comfortable and breathable shoes (more breathable now they have holes in them). Would love to have some shoes designed specifically for range use!
What’s not to love about 5.11 gear. I could browse the web store for days and if I had the dough I’d buy heaps. Love the Rush packs, love the plate carriers and would love a new pair of boots. Seriously, love your gear.
I would love to own a 5.11 rush 24 backpack! My current pack is way to small and has holes in it. Stuff has literally fallen out of the bag! Please help me out!
The Sabre Jacket 2.0 as I would like to be comfortable on the job as a LEO but also at home or in the bush while camping with my family. These days I don’t have much money to spend on myself as I just had identical twin girls and also have a 4 year old boy so winning the dream item would be a fantastic experience!
I’ve heard a lot about the 5.11 Tactical RUSH packs, I have several mates who own them and I’ve been bloody jealous. I would really love to win a 5.11 Tactical RUSH Backpack, prefer the RUSH 72 but beggars can’t be choosers so I would settle on a RUSH 24! :) Fingers crossed
