Rushfaster EDC Pro Backpack System (+ Tech Pouch)

The Rushfaster EDC Pro Backpack is a really good everyday option for just about any use. I intend to use it as my carry on tavel bag as well.
Great features, pockets and space; excellent quality material and zippers; thoughtfully pieced together.

My only suggestion is for the next version of the bag to have a clamshell opening main compartment.

Still, it works really well and I'm a happy customer!

I'm not usually one to take up contra deals like this, but I was actually after a pouch like this to organise all my laptop accessories and SSDs when transiting to productions. What i found though, was a better use. Rather than having all my wireless audio units, cables and lav mics floating around in a deep pocket, they could all literally fit inside this pouch. I can fit my 2 x Sennheiser G4S + 2 x Rode Wireless Go IIs, all cables, spare batteries, lavs, Stickies, and much more inside one pouch and slip it into the top of my bag. I honestly wish I had gotten this earlier.

I would have loved a carry handle there somewhere, or at least a wrist-loop option. That way I could attach it to another bag or pass it to another person without fear of it slipping out of my hands. The shell's material is beautiful and sleek; however, it can be a tad slippery. It does look like water would bead off it, should it accidentally have liquid spilt on it. That's a major plus.

The three elastic loops are great for cable organisation. However; they are quite tight, so the cables i put in there are probably a little too large for their intended use (phone chargers) etc.

Overall, this is an awesome product (not just because it was free) and i actually wish i'd asked for two so I could have one for all my other equipment.

The bag was both smaller and heavier than I had imagined, but it's quickly become my go-to bag for most EDC situations. It carries more than I expected, and has a good mix of organisation and large space. I think the weight comes from the back panel being quite stiff, but this ended up being a good compromise: it helps keeps the bag's shape and organisation without needing the entire bag to have a rigid structure.

The external bottle pockets are quite spacious, and don't protrude when empty. After using this bag, I see why the smaller cousin doesn't have external bottle pockets - it's surprisingly usable, and makes the bag quite sleek when there's no bottles on the outside.

This bag looks more compact than a 26L, but certainly can hold the stated capacity. It isn't a fully structured bag, which I love because when you're packing less, it can compress on itself to make it look smaller, but doesn't look huge even when it's packed out. 

Front admin pocket is decent & can house plenty of my daily carry trinkets. The side water bottle pockets are great. They fit a 950ml vacuum insulated water bottle easily. Love that there are inner side pockets for organization in the main compartment, although a water bottle on the outside does compete for this space. Tracker slot is also tall enough to fit a Samsung SmartTag2 perfectly. 

The back panel side zipper pocket is big enough to house the Alpaka Zip Travel Wallet comfortably. Perfect for quick access during travel. Straps are more than comfortable for me, & the back panel is very well ventilated. I do wish there was a small side handle or lash point to facilitate using the vertical luggage strap. That would have added extra functionality for hanging stuff on it with a carabiner.

I was very excited to use the Hypalon security tabs for the zippers, but they are rather finicky in real world use especially for the main compartment when you've put both zippers through the tab. Though I suppose it would very well serve its intended purpose in deterring pickpockets.

Absolutely love the colour I got. It's a dark subtle green which glows into a brighter sheen when light reflects off it. Considering this bag's rated capacity & its weight of just 1.1kg, it is a winner in my books. I look forward to many happy travels with this gem!

I absolutely adore this backpack! I've been on the lookout for a reliable EDC that can comfortably hold all my essentials, and I’m happy to say I found one with just the right number of pockets and enough space to fit my laptop, notepad, umbrella, tumbler, and tech pouch. It’s been a great find!

I'm a fan of the materials used and the common gripes that some other people had didn't really faze me. Mostly. The main thing is that it flops over if not full (expected) but there was also a strange crease in the front zipper that looked quite bad. Anyway, it's comfortable and stores the things that I need. I will hope to use it for years.

it has all the organization I'd ever need, eliminating the need for an additional tech pouch. The material and crafting feels very robust and sturdy, the back panel feels stable and comfortable, the internal pockets are many and well thought through

the only two points of critique I have are that the straps could be a bit more padded and the false bottom of the laptop compartment could be a bit more pronounced; it feels like it's just the seam that acts as a buffer

I've had this backpack for a few weeks and I really like it.

It is well organised and fits me well.

It's lightweight but I did wish it would stand up with less items in it.

For me the hidden wallet pocket is on the wrong side, but that's just a me issue as I like it hanging on my right shouler.

Overall I think at full price it’s a bit expensive, but I got it on sale from the outlet store and at that price it is excellent value.

This tech pouch really felt so good for my videography needs. It fits an incredible amount whilst keeping the same size and shape. I was surprised at how much it could fit given I even had my 96W Apple Macbook Pro charger head and it still looked exactly the same. The pouch features some rigid components making it feel sturdy to protect any sensitive gear, whilst the materials feel very premium.

Serves it's purpose as a moderate-sized daypack. Plenty of internal and external compartments of various sizes. I've only used it for taking laptop and lunch to work so far, so can't comment on comfort when carrying for any extended period.
One external attachment loop did come away with gentle tugging. I hope that's not an indication of overall durability.

Perfect size. Just that little bit of extra room that you might need over a 20L bag. Multiple organisation options with plenty of useful pockets. Only slight downside is the buckle on the shoulder straps rubs against my arms when wearing something sleeveless.

I never used a tech pouch before — I used to just throw cables into my bag and deal with the mess later. This has honestly been one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. No tangled cords, no digging around at the bottom of my bag. Everything has its place and it actually stays organised. Compact, well made, and just practical.
Didn’t think I needed it — now I wouldn’t travel without it.

perfect sized pouch that easily accommodates my various cables and chargers. Very happy with my purchase.

It's a do-it-all bag. Personally, the bag had ample pockets to fit and group miscellaneous items that I carry day-to-day. I like that the bag is lightweight to just carry a small amount, yet has the capacity to pack for a weekender. It's a nice, simple, minimalist-looking bag that carries all your essentials. The cargo patch is a nice addition to the ecosystem if you need to carry other things, without a need for another bag (I carry my running shoes in it).

Things to note: You do lose out on its ability to self-stand, as it requires a somewhat full bag to be self-standing. However, if you're willing to compromise on it, it really isn't a big issue. The false bottom for the laptop is pretty close to the ground, so I would still be careful throwing it around.

Other than that, highly recommend this bag!

I got the tech pouch as part of the combo and all I’ve mentioned about the EDC backpack stands true here too. It suits my needs, the spaces are thought out well and I really like the colour, especially when the light hits it.

Honestly, this pouch just does the job really well. It’s compact but still fits all my cables, chargers, and bits without feeling cramped. Feels solid, looks clean, and makes my bag way less messy. I’ve been using it daily and wouldn’t change a thing.

This tech pouch is the one perfect house for all my cables, old phones & small peripherals. It has an origami styled opening on one side, & 2 divided pockets on the other with space within to rest my 2 older phones. The interior fabric is a very classy dark green which suits the outer black shell. Unfortunately, my universal travel adapter wouldn't fit due to its boxy shape & size, so do keep in mind if you've got tech items with a larger footprint. Other than that, it's perfect for organizing the rest of my stuff.

Looked at lots of options in Tech Pouches, and just kept coming back to this one. I'm glad I did, as it suits my needs perfectly

Love the Rushfaster for everything except two things.
For its weight, I expected it to self stand.
But it’s so floppy

Second, the padding is super uncomfortable on the bag. It’s like a rock.

I returned it.
