Upgrading an ALICE Pack
Has anyone used any after market ALICE Pack straps ? http://www.ustacticalsupply.com/alicepacks.shtml I have decided against a new pack and would like to make my trusty old ALICE a little more comfortable . I kind of like both the sleeping bag extension and storm flap mod that they offer too.

Re: Upgrading an ALICE Pack
Those straps look alot like what we are using now (They have changed). A storm flap is never a bad idea (unless it costs more than a Ruck cover).Flesh Thorn wrote:Has anyone used any after market ALICE Pack straps ? http://www.ustacticalsupply.com/alicepacks.shtml I have decided against a new pack and would like to make my trusty old ALICE a little more comfortable .

"King" is the ruck you get for free. Spending $300.00 on a ruck won't keep your weak ass from falling out!

Roger. Was only seeing what all of you though about this Ruck. A little too much if you ask me. I have heard alot saying the big green tick is preferred, and then getting the MALICE upgrades.

From now on I want to be quiet when the adults are speaking!

The only nylon frame that I have found is the MULE that BQM offers.BadMuther wrote:Flesh Penis,
TT has some good mods like DesertSlug said.
Best thing to mod out on the alice is to switch the frame to a nylon one.

Coleman made one and then someone else took it over from Coleman. I'll check the mule out and see if it's similiar.
