Big shoutout to everyone working the night shift this Sunday 🫡

Night shifts are tough enough without the clocks going back and adding another hour to your shift. So this one's for the police, military, emergency services, security teams and everyone working through the night to keep people safe, protect others and keep things moving while the rest of the world sleeps.

We see you. Stay strong out there. 🫡

Just wear the beanie.

No one’s gonna know you don’t normally wear one.

No one’s gonna point at you.

No one’s gonna start chanting “HE’S NOT A REAL BEANIE GUY” in unison.

You’re overthinking this. Put the beanie on. 😭

Not sure which one will suit your head best? Come and try them on in our tactical shop and our staff will shower you with compliments.

Wet feet are bad. Wet feet halfway through a 12-hour shift or a day in the hills? Even worse. So, what waterproof boots do you need?

POLICE & SECURITY
Look for lightweight construction, secure lacing and reliable grip for long shifts across varied environments.

MILITARY & FIELD OPERATIONS
Choose durable leather, a high-cut design, thermal insulation and deep tread for demanding terrain.

COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
Prioritise waterproofing, thermal insulation, a warm lining and dependable traction in cold conditions.

WORK & SAFETY
Look for certified safety protection, puncture resistance, hydrophobic leather and a fit that stays comfortable throughout the working day.

HIKING & RUGGED TERRAIN
Supportive construction, abrasion-resistant materials, reliable traction and secure lacing help you tackle uneven ground with confidence.

LONG SHIFTS & EVERYDAY DUTY
Lightweight construction, cushioning, moisture management and adjustable lacing help keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.

There’s no one-size-fits-all waterproof boot. Choose the features that match your job and conditions.

Ever looked at a waterproof jacket and thought… what does 10K/10K actually mean?

Hydrostatic head, breathability, MVTR, taped seams… waterproof jackets come with a lot of jargon. So here’s what those terms actually mean 👇

💧 WHAT DOES 10K WATERPROOF MEAN?

The first number refers to the fabric’s hydrostatic head - its resistance to water pressure.

10K = 10,000mm water column

In simple terms, a higher rating means the fabric can withstand more water pressure before water begins to pe*****te.

💨 WHAT DOES THE SECOND 10K MEAN?

That’s breathability.

It’s commonly measured using MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate), which measures how much moisture vapour can pass through a square metre of fabric over 24 hours.

So:
10K/10K = 10K waterproofing + 10K breathability

🧵 WHAT ARE TAPED SEAMS?

Waterproof fabric isn’t the whole story. Stitching creates tiny holes where panels are joined together, so taped seams seal these areas to help prevent water getting through.

Fully taped = all seams sealed
Critically taped = key seams sealed

🤔 IS 20K WATERPROOF BETTER THAN 10K?

Not necessarily.

A higher waterproof rating means greater resistance to water pressure, but it doesn’t automatically mean a better jacket. Breathability, seam sealing, construction and ventilation all affect real-world performance.

❓ IS 10K WATERPROOF ENOUGH FOR RAIN?

It depends on the conditions and how you’ll use the jacket. Heavy rain and pressure against the fabric can put greater demands on waterproof protection.

The takeaway? Don’t just look for the biggest number. Understand what the numbers actually measure.

The 5.11 RUSH12, RUSH24 and RUSH72 are all built around the same RUSH backpack system, but the difference in capacity makes each one better suited to a different type of load.

5.11 RUSH12 Backpack – 24L

The RUSH12 is the compact option for everyday carry, work, commuting, range days and shorter outdoor trips. At 24 litres, it gives you enough room for the essentials without the size and bulk of a larger tactical backpack. The multiple compartments and MOLLE-compatible exterior also make it easy to organise and expand your setup.

5.11 RUSH24 Backpack – 37L

Need more space without jumping up to a full-size pack? The RUSH24 sits in the middle at 37 litres, making it a versatile choice for longer days, work, training, range use and outdoor adventures. There’s more room for spare clothing, additional equipment and larger everyday loads, while still being practical enough for regular use.

5.11 RUSH72 Backpack – 55L

The RUSH72 is designed for significantly larger loads and longer trips. With 55 litres of capacity, there’s room for extra clothing, camping kit, equipment and supplies when you’re packing for multiple days. It’s the option to look at when a day pack simply isn’t giving you enough room.

So, which RUSH backpack fits your setup?

RUSH12 → Everyday carry & lighter loads
RUSH24 → Longer days & larger loads
RUSH72 → Multi-day trips & extended loads

Whether you’re looking for a 24L, 37L or 55L tactical backpack, choosing the right capacity is a good place to start. Think about what you actually carry, how long you’re carrying it for and how much room you need for additional kit.

Shop the 5.11 RUSH backpack range online or in store at TacTree.

How many multi-tools do you have and do you consider it an excessive amount? 🤔

Different multi-tools, different jobs, different reasons to convince yourself that you definitely need another one.

Be honest - how many are in your collection? 👇
