U S early pattern Alice Pack Medium
Originally developed in the 1970s as part of the ALICE system, this durable rucksack was officially used by the US Army for approximately 30 years. This versatile rucksack boasts a generous capacity and rugged design at an affordable price, making it the perfect choice for civilian use. With a spacious main compartment (around 40 liters), a radio pocket, and three outer pockets, this pack has everything you need. Unlike the larger version, this pack can be used without a frame.
Please note, this is the early pattern with the much harder to find retention clasps. this is perfect for the alice pack aficionado, collector or reenactor. as these are much harder to come by these do command a slightly higher price
Please note this pack does not include a hip belt or frame
The material on the underside of the lid is peeling on quite a few of them. With a light sand this can be cleared up and there is a cotton like material under it. So shouldn't affect the functionality at all.
