I wanted a backpack that would function as a rucking pack as well as a regular backpack. I like Rucksack but not paying $300+ for an exclusive rucking pack with 50lbs. The 5.11 fits the bill for me. I have 20lb and 30lb Yes4all plates. I am able to put these in the laptop pocket and they are a tight fit, but keeps them from shifting. The 5.11 has a built in chest strap, that can be moved and adjusted. It has well padded straps that are fitted in a yoke rather than 2 separated straps and a place for a belt. But you have to order the belt separately for this backpack. I know pain tolerance differs but it seems that 50 lbs was probably the limit for these straps to feel somewhat comfortable. I didn't use a belt, only the chest strap so that may make a difference. The only down side in rucking with this backpack is when you pull the straps tight, in order to carry the weight higher on your back, they are hard to loosen with just one hand. Maybe this will loosen up over time or there is another way to loosen the straps. But it made it a little tight getting the pack off. I'm 5'7"-5'8" so a taller person may not have that issue. I've used my son-in-law's Rucksack and it does a better job in tightening and releasing straps. Overall I am generally pleased with my 5.11 for Rucking.
If you use a Rucksack as a backpack it mainly has one big compartment. The 5.11 has numerous pockets and compartments. The Velcro front pocket (this isn't easily visible so you have to search for it) was great for going through the airport for easy access to passport and boarding pass. I wouldn't use that pocket for valuable items in public in Europe due to pickpockets. I felt comfortable with the zippered pockets in the large main pocket for carrying more valuable items, such as passport and cash. I also used carabiners with screw locks through the zippers tying all of the main compartments and 2 small front pockets together, when we were in public in Europe. There is a zippered glasses case on the top that can hold 2 pairs of glasses with somewhat flat cases. When I was in public in Europe I used the Velcroed pocket for my water bottle since I don't have expensive water bottles and there are no water bottle holders on this pack. The Molle system can be used for that, but I didn't want the water bottle banging against me as I walked. This pack is heavy maybe 1.5-2X the weight of my Suisse pack of about the same volume. But is is sturdy and built of tough material. A friend told me they used 5.11 when he worked with the police. I didn't stuff it completely full and was able to get it under the seat in front of me when we were flying.
