I am looking for a light duty bag to carry on my motorcycle for work, or short trips, but can't decide between the 12 and 24, is the 24 overkill?

I use the 12 as a daily carry bag on my motorcycle to work, and I carry it around all day. It is plenty big for my computer, a pair of shoes, lunch, and the administrative and personal care necessities. The 24 would be way too much for me unless I was also packing a another pair of shoes and a gym bag. It is pretty heavy duty in construction. For rain, I recommend adding something to keep it and the contents from getting sloppy. I have not tested the degree of waterproofing.

Yes, in fact the rush 12 is a touch overkill in my opinion. I also have and somewhat prefer the rush 10 Moab for a light duty. It's bladder conpartment is smaller but otherwise, it has about everything the 12 does. I would tell you I have trouble filling the rush 12 enough to justify all the storage for a day trip. iPad, pistol and spare mag, hydration bladder, a book, pad of paper, pens, flashlight, multi tool, knife, gum, iPhone charger, sunglasses, surgical loupes, and I still can't use all of the room in the 12. The 10 fits it all without the excess size.

Also check the 5.11 web site prices. I found them to have better prices, after I bought on amazon, and they had free shipping.

Another thing to add is that the 10 may hold everything BUT it has only one strap which for me it a deal breaker.

the 12 can be used as EDC,if u prepare to carry one-day things,it seems to be slightly small,and if u r above 5'11'' tall,u can choose the 24,and it'll be fitter for u

Yes I think the 12 is a great size for running around with. Will fit better on your motorcycle also.

I don't own the 24, but I do have the 12. I carry it to work almost every day whether I'm taking public transit or riding my bike. I typically carry a change of clothes, some snacks, a bottle of water, a sketchbook, pens and markers, a couple 8x10 canvas boards, a very small emergency tool kit (like a couple screw drivers,a multi tool and magnetic LED light), whatever book I'm currently reading, and some travel size toiletries to freshen up after my commute. And I Still have room left over for a 15" laptop and charger. Now I do pack it pretty tight but I can't imagine you'd need much more than that on a daily basis for a work bag. Plus you can hook a lot of stuff to the outside. I don't own the 24, but I do have the 12. I carry it to work almost every day whether I'm taking public transit or riding my bike.

I purchased this bag and I am very happy with it. Handles are very comfortable. To answer your question. I carry laptop (HP255), I pad, makeup small pouch, scarf, and sometimes shoes (as i bike in the city). I have even put a helmet without a problem. I am petite, this bag doesn't appear big but when you need to make things fit its wonderful. Hope this helps. :)

Great bag!!! We are using it on the back of the motorcycle for our 7 Lbs doggy and it works great!!! I suggest to buy the quick release pad if you intend to use it on a motorcycle as it is very convenient.

Go with the 20L. I bought the 10L and it's perfect for two people. If you need to make more space, attach a carabiner and hang your flip flops off that. Enjoy the back pack.

This fits the rush 24 bag just right. I have the rush 72 and the rush 24. I had originally put the Mil Spec Antidote™ Reservoir 100 oz Long for both bags and found that it was too long for the rush 24. I then got the Mil Spec Antidote™ Reservoir 100 oz Short and it fit just right.

The assault pack is my 24 hour bag and the Main pack is my 72 hour pack. I think the assault pack alone would be too small for 72-96.

I bought 20Liter bag, which is the "XL" good size for misc stuff on a canoe trip like wallet and dry clothes (it might hold kid's sleeping bag - about 1/3 too small to hold an adult sleeping bag to give you an idea of volume).

It is, but honestly, it is pretty large. If you are hoping for a smaller weekend bag, I would go with the small.

This is my favorite bag. It should be fine for you unless fully loaded. The bag expands to a pretty large size. So if you don't need to pack it full, should be fine

The 18 inch is perfect for my needs. I believe the 24 would be too large for a lot of areas in my home.

Go with the 17. Will have plenty of room, plus some for other misc items and still not feel bulky

Hello,The Bowery bags are small. The 24-70mm by itself is too big for this bag. With the gear you have you should consider the Brixton or Union Street bags. Regards,RoozbehOC camera949-347-1276

Smaller is better, of course it depends what else you have in the purse. The dedicated compartment will handle a 1911 or a small revolver. You don't want a lot of bulky items in the other compartment. I carry an LCR or a LCP and either one is good. LCP has a flatter profile so it is the best

i bought the 950 bag and it easily held my stuff for a 12 day trip to colorado and new mexico. also bought the day bag that goes on top. nice luggage. i would guess the 350 would work but i have no personal knowledge.

No way is it too big. It's just the right size for what you have. I have a 1Dx plus a 6D, a 24-70 2.8 L II, and a 70-200 2.8 L II, plus a 2X extender, and it's too SMALL, mainly because the 1Dx is too big. But your camera is a much better size, and you'll be able to fit it, your lenses and a flash in there, too, plus accessories in the outside pockets. It's a great bag, especially for the price.

I have an 8x11 bag on on 25" platform and it looks like I could get away with 24". If you went one bag size smaller you'd have some room to spare.
