Whether on an all-day trek or an overnight mission, the right tactical backpack, bag or duffel is essential to your safety and success. Everyone from law enforcement and military to outdoor enthusiasts will benefit from a well-constructed and sturdy backpack.

At 5.11, we design and craft rugged backpacks that can take the wear and tear of everyday, long-term use. No need to go easy on them – they’re designed to thrive in tough conditions, just like you. We use materials like durable 1050D nylon and add features like water-resistant coatings to stand up to the most extreme conditions.

Many of our tactical backpacks feature a MOLLE system which allows you to attach your EDC (Everyday Carry) items to your backpack, making it easy to carry multi-tools, knives, magazine pouches and other essential items.

What else should you look for in a tactical backpack? That depends on your needs, but our bags boast features like laptop compartments, hydration bladder and water storage compartments, and concealed carry.

Each backpack provides ample space for all of your gear and Everyday Carry (EDC) items, while remaining lightweight enough to comfortably wear. Whether using for the range, as your go-bag, or simply everyday use, our tactical backpacks are built to be ready for anything. They come in a variety of colors to match your mission, including black, tan and camouflage.
