I have a 5.11 Rush (one of the older ones) that has been literally all over the world with with me, from Tasmania to the Himalayas and a few more unique adventures.

Exposed to masssive heat changes, salt water and sun constantly, burned on a bikes exhaust. Exposed to hot ashes (bushfires). Hunting regularly. exposed to diesel fuel, dirst, heat, sun and salt at the sime time for weeks.

It won't die. 1 zip has become a little funky on the front pocket. and there is a small melted patch from the hot exhaust. This is with over a decade of hard use.

I think bags are one of those things where if you buy a reputable brand it will last forever.

5.11 bags rock. I'm a carpenter and bring mine to work everyday, full of tools. I've used it throughout school, camping trips etc..

Never skipped a beat. Just had to replace some zipper pulleys which the company sent me a big bag of free of charge.
