2.0 Improvements You Need
Unlike the original RUSH72, the 2.0 version includes a dedicated laptop compartment and a concealed carry (CCW) pocket, making it as viable for travel as it is for the end of the world.
- 1050D Nylon: Water-resistant and nearly indestructible.
- MOLLE Webbing: Endless customization for pouches.
