USMC Issue FILBE Rucksack
Backpack
The Military Rucksack USMC FILBE (Family of Improved Load Bearing Equipment) was designed to be the standard issue upgrade for a Marines load carry system and able to use in conjunction with body armor. Its popularity has also grown to become a great bush craft backpack in civilian life. The big improvement in this pack was a better, more comfortable way to transport heavy loads for active field use.
The Marine Corps issue FILBE backpack system has a more conventional internal frame with a large quantity of structural back padding and support. The shoulder and heavy duty waist belt/kidney pad are adjustable to almost any size. The sustainment pouches may be used on the side of the pack or the front when using the hydration carriers on the sides. The USMC FILBE Military Rucksack is also designed to carry the smaller 3-day backpack on the hood for a complete carry system.
