BOB opinion: 'Nam era ALICE pack?

[Roughneck61]

I recently purchased a large used Alice pack with frame in good condition at Armygear.net for 29.95 plus shipping. Total cost was $44.00 or somewhere thereabouts. I was very pleased with what I received and I got it fairly quick.

alice packs are great, but i would go with the large with a frame they are a lot more comfortable! the military used them for years and they have stood the test of time. for the price they are tough to beat!

I acquired a medium A.L.I.C.E. pack with frame & kidney pad for my B.O.B. (list of contents in the "post your B.O.B." thread) and it's awesome! Plenty of room to work with and it's super comfortable. This was the same one I used in the corps before they switched to MOLLE gear. I've priced them out around $45 to $55 on ebay (used).
