Issued USGI ALICE Pack Set

The "ALICE" (all-purpose lightweight individual carrying equipment) system came into service in the wake of the Vietnam War. It served as a total revision of previous load-bearing equipment. The main goals were to create a system that was more modular, lighter weight, and more capable of distributing weight across the wearer's back.  Used from 1973 to as late as the mid-2000s, these bags were designed to function with the ALICE system's external frame. With one main compartment and three exterior pouches, these nylon bags have near-unlimited potential in civilian life. These are an essential component for any and all mid/late Cold War USGI LARP. These sets are guaranteed to feature a waist belt, main bag, shoulder straps, and the frame. The specific iteration or era of the pieces provided is up to chance.  As the picture provided shows, PVC lining may be a bit degraded from years of storage.  The Short & Sweet: Nylon construction  Waist belt Shoulder Straps Three external pouches Single main compartment Frame  Authentic USGI
