Assault bags vs. EMS bags what are the variables?

5.11 backpacks for saleThere are a great many things that can make or break a bag for a job.   Many of our customers come in here and open up backpacks or bags to see what is sewn on the inside.   Some bags have open pouches while others have ID holders, Molle pouches or various zippered or strapped compartments.   I’m not big on attaching too much Molle gear to my bags, probable the only thing I attach to my bags are the higher visibility medical pouches.   I have some smaller plaster First Aid pouches but the nylon quick detach medical pouches are a better and more professional option.  We sell an EMT bag that is just a bright orange color with the medical logo but they are just that, a bag with no medical supplies.  A good folder for scissors or bandages is probable the best thing for this setup.

The Rush messenger bags are very unique and not like my Elite Survival Systems bags or my Blackhawk bags.   The Rush 72 are a very popular 5.11 backpacks for sale in our showroom and online.    These have a unique fold out webbed attachment and many molle and compartments.   Emergency blankets and quick clot packages can go in these and even though they kind of look like military backpacks, they are extremely popular with the EMT’s that get hired in our area.   These bags are kind of bulky and if you want a smaller bag, something that just goes over your shoulder, check out some of the smaller Rush 24 bags.

5.11 Rush Messenger bag and Rush 72 bags

5.11 backpacksWe sell a ton of nylon gear, from molle gear to range bags and gun cases.  There are big differences between all of the gun cases that we sell and just because it’s called a gun case doesn’t  mean it’s going to have all of the protection you need when you are traveling or stowing it in a car.   I realize that not everyone has a $2000 AR15 with $1000 optics on it but I’m not going to drop my LWRC M6 with the TA31F-G in an Uncle Mike’s gun case, I’ll put it  in an Elite Survival Systems assault rifle case because the protection and design of that $80 case is worth it.   When it comes to back packs and emergency responders, there is one product line that seems to have taken the crown.

The 5.11 Rush 24 and Rush 72 bags are the most common bags we see with emergency responders.   I would have to say the multicam 5.11 backpacks are very nice and the layout of the molle locations are very nice, although I am very impressed with the Tru-Spec gunny backpacks that we have for sale right now.  Several of the gunny backpacks are with a local ambulance company and they are very eye catching.  The top handle makes them easy to pick up without having to sling them over your shoulder and they are easy to pack  up and stow away.
