- Why Bulletproof Zone?
The 5.11 Tactical RUSH LBD Lima is a 56-liter load-bearing duffel built to move armor, equipment, and mission-critical gear. Constructed from water-resistant 1050D nylon with heavy-duty bar-tacking and webbing reinforcements throughout, it carries 3,456 cubic inches of capacity across a main compartment measuring 12" H x 24" L x 12" W. At 3.0 lbs unloaded, it deploys as a shoulder duffel or a backpack, with quick-release adjustable straps and reinforced handles covering both carry modes. Available in multiple colorways.
Who this is for
- Law enforcement and military personnel who need a tough, high-capacity bag to transport armor, duty gear, and equipment to and from the field.
- Range and training day carriers who want a single bag large enough to consolidate a plate carrier, plates, and supporting kit without resorting to a hard case.
- Travelers and outdoor users who demand a durable, MOLLE-compatible bag that organizes gear efficiently on extended trips or deployments.
Construction and materials
The Lima's shell uses water-resistant 1050D nylon, a denier rating that balances abrasion resistance with manageable weight. Bar-tacking reinforces every high-stress attachment point — handles, strap anchors, and zipper pull zones — so the bag holds up under the kind of asymmetric loading that armor and heavy equipment produce. Self-healing YKK zippers run on all main compartment and pocket closures, and rainfly zipper closures add a secondary weather barrier at the main opening.
The padded bottom panel distributes concentrated weight across a broader contact surface, reducing wear at the base under full load. Two reinforced side grab handles and a reinforced top carry handle give multiple grip points when the bag is set down or passed between personnel.
Organization and carry system
Inside the main compartment, lashing straps and compression straps keep bulky items from shifting in transit. Two zippered mesh organization pockets on the interior lid surface handle smaller items — documents, gloves, pouches — without mixing them into the main load. A rear zippered pocket provides quick-access external storage for items needed without opening the main bag.
The external web MOLLE platform runs across the exterior, accepting purpose-built 5.11 pouches and third-party MOLLE-compatible attachments to expand storage without increasing the bag's footprint. Dual side straps compress the load, accept extra cargo, or connect under the bottom panel as an alternate carry handle. An ID and flag patch loop panel supports name-tape holders for unit or personal identification.
The quick-release adjustable backpack straps include non-slip padding and convert the Lima from a duffel to a two-strap backpack carry without tools or separate hardware.

Frequently asked questions
What does this bag work with?
The RUSH LBD Lima is designed to haul armor, plate carriers, and heavy equipment. Its 56-liter main compartment accommodates a full plate carrier with plates installed, duty belt setups, or comparable equipment loads. The external MOLLE platform accepts 5.11 purpose-built pouches and most standard MOLLE-compatible accessories to extend capacity further.
Is this bag MOLLE compatible?
Yes. The Lima features an external web MOLLE platform across the exterior for attaching pouches, accessories, and modular storage. Dual side straps also support additional cargo attachment.
Can this be carried as a backpack?
Yes. Quick-release adjustable backpack straps with non-slip padding convert the Lima to backpack carry. The straps deploy and stow without tools and include a quick-release buckle for fast removal.
How much does the bag weigh unloaded?
The Lima weighs 3.0 lbs empty. At 56 liters of capacity, that gives a favorable weight-to-volume ratio for a bag built to this construction standard. Actual carry weight depends on the load.
Are the zippers weather resistant?
Yes. The Lima uses self-healing YKK zippers throughout, and the main compartment features rainfly zipper closures for an added layer of weather protection in wet conditions. The 1050D nylon shell is also water-resistant.
Does this bag come with pouches or inserts?
No pouches or inserts are included. The Lima is compatible with purpose-built 5.11 MOLLE pouches and accepts most standard MOLLE-compatible third-party attachments. Contact us for pouch recommendations that pair well with this bag.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
Price Match Guarantee — Terms

- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
- Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.
To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
