5.11, the global innovator of purpose-built apparel, footwear, and gear, showcased an evolved range of load-bearing gear designed for training, travel, and everyday readiness this week during SHOT Show 2026.

The collection of new products, which also included footwear and apparel, reflects 5.11’s continued focus on functionality, innovation, comfort, durability, and style, delivering gear that adapts to real-world demands, the company said.

“As we look toward 2026, our team remains focused on delivering innovation with purpose: gear that’s not only durable and technical, but genuinely elevates how our customers work, train, and live,” said 5.11 CEO Troy Brown. “This collection reflects the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike, offering solutions that enhance readiness in any environment.”

New bags and backpacks just unveiled by 5.11 during SHOT Show 2026 included the following.

Range Ready Pro 19L

The Range Ready Pro 19L ($120) delivers what 5.11 called exceptional range-day organization and readiness in a compact, grab-and-go package.

Built from rugged, all-weather 600D polyester with a TPU-coated base, the bag shields gear from the elements while staying lightweight and portable. Inside, dual-padded pistol compartments, a removable divider with elastic loops and a MOLLE web panel, and dual rear-zippered pockets offer tailored storage for firearms, ammunition, tools, and accessories.

A full-clamshell front pocket with a wipe-clean disassembly panel and dedicated slip-pocket keeps maintenance and documentation information organized and accessible.

AMP12 & AMP24

Raising the bar for haul-all versatility and storage, 5.11 is bringing back favorites from the All Missions collection, with the AMP12 ($170) and AMP24 ($190). They feature 5.11’s patented HEXGRID multiangle load-bearing platform, including a removable 9x9 HEXGRID panel for rapid mission customization.

A full clamshell main compartment with Quad-Zip zippers provides complete access to organized storage, supported by internal loop panels, mesh organization, and admin pockets. Built from water-resistant 500D Dobby Nylon with a reinforced 1050D nylon base and TAC-LAM laminate, the AMP12 and AMP24 are finished with a thermoformed back panel. The AMP12 offers 25-liter capacity, while the AMP24 comes in at 32 liters.

LVC12 Backpack

New to the load-bearing lineup is the LVC12 Backpack ($160), an urban-friendly 21-liter pack designed for commuting, traveling, and everyday adventures, and everything in between.

With a 270-degree main compartment for fast, modular organization, a laptop sleeve, and an ambidextrous side-entry CCW compartment with a removable holster strap, the LVC12 keeps tools, tech, and gear organized and locked in.

The Skyweight collection is also receiving an update with the addition of the Skyweight Survival Plus Chest Pack 2L ($90), delivering fast-access functionality, low-profile carry, and rugged survivability for hikers, hunters, and backcountry professionals who need critical gear at the ready.

Built from lightweight 330D ripstop nylon with HEIQ Barrier Eco Dry for weather resistance, this chest pack features a fully adjustable quick-release harness system, a main compartment engineered for high-level organization, and dedicated internal cord loops for firearm trigger-guard retention.

An ambidextrous rear CCW compartment with elastic mag loops, a laser-cut MOLLE panel, a bottom water-bottle pocket, a new aluminum buckle, and breathable anti-odor mesh backing make it as capable as it is comfortable.

Designed with lightweight materials and a streamlined profile for easier and more comfortable carrying, the Skyweight packs balance load stability, smart organization, and all-day comfort, making them equally suited for fast-moving operations, backcountry pursuits, and demanding everyday carry.

The 25L features new additions like an external front pocket with MOLLE paneling, anti-odor mesh,h and added nylon to the water bottle pocket. The 35L option boasts an adjustable lumbar panel and a compatible rain cover (sold separately).

MVR 35L Backpack & MVR 25L Backpack

The all-new MVR 35L Backpack ($150) and MVR 25L Backpack ($120) deliver rugged durability, modularity, and lifestyle versatility in a clean, modern silhouette, built around 5.11’s signature CenterLine design and the patented Modular Gear Bag System for unmatched customization.

Both packs feature a 270-degree clamshell main opening for fast access, external stretch water-bottle pockets, top webbing loops, fleece-lined top pockets, dual-mesh back-panel pockets, and rear compartments that accommodate hydration or a laptop, amounting to a total of 18 pockets.

The MVR 25L is a streamlined everyday option, while the MVR 35L scales up the storage for users who need more room for gear, clothes, or whatever the day’s mission involves.
