US Army Medium Alice Pack

The Alice Pack was the US military answer to modularizing a soldier's field gear, in that the main pack and web gear could be two separate components. In WW1 and WW2, the haversack designs did not allow an infantryman many choices, he either had all his gear or none, pretty much. The Alice Pack was widely used in Vietnam. The main bag compartment is about 1500 cu in, with another 3 exterior pockets that are very usable in size. A very well thought out and proven design.  *****This first choice DOES NOT COME WITH STRAPS, and we only have used available. This means these are authentic, but they may or may not have some rips/tears or holes. ****** *****The second choice comes with new commercial straps - not the original straps of the ALICE pack. It comes with straps that you can attach yourself. ****** ***** The 3rd choice is a used pack with a new frame and straps already attached. **** *****Please note if you are buying 3rd option this pack is a bigger pack especially with the frame and the price includes the extra shipping. ***** The new version is a great replica of the used version:   G.I.
