A.L.I.C.E. Backpack Frame, Optional
U.S. Issue Straps and Belt
The A.L.I.C.E. Backpack Frame with U.S. Issue Straps is designed to withstand the rigors of real use. The frame has been out of service in the military making them scarce; however, many soldiers still use them, and the need is still there. ALICE Frames have been proven and built tough to handle heavy loads while fitting perfectly with the genuine G.I. ALICE Packs.
Since we love real U.S. Made gear, we added optional U.S. Government Issue shoulder straps and Kidney waist pad that are ensuring they can take a beating over imports. With its comfortable shoulder straps and waist belt, this pack frame makes even the longest journeys feel more enduring. No matter if you're using it for hunting, hiking or hauling, the A.L.I.C.E. pack will securely transport all your gear.
A.L.I.C.E stands for all-purpose, lightweight, individual, carrying equipment and has been a military iconic packing system since the early 1970's and still used today by those who know and trust them.

Yes, although not designed for it many people have been able to adapt the main rucksack bag of the FILBE and others without making modifications.
Can a MOLLE II sleeping bag carrier be added to an ALICE frame?
The MOLLE Rucksack sleeping bag carrier can be added to a standard ALICE frame. You can also add other modern accessories, such as an Army issue MOLLE fanny/waist pack. The frame is versatile and can be used with many other systems if you have room and can find a way to attach them.
What is an ALICE shelve used for?
An ALICE shelf (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment shelf) is a modular storage component used with military ALICE packs and field gear systems that serves as an external storage platform mounted on the outside of ALICE packs to carry additional gear that won't fit inside or needs quick access.
What's the proper way to load an ALICE pack?
Place heavy items close to your back and centered vertically. Lighter, bulky items go toward the outside. Use the frame's attachment points for external gear like sleeping bags, tools, or water containers.
