US Army ALICE Load-Bearing Frame Reproduction from MFH.
An absolute classic of American military equipment, the ALICE (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) frame was introduced in the early 1970s and remained in service for decades.
Designed to carry heavy loads over difficult terrain, this rugged external frame forms the backbone of the ALICE rucksack system. Constructed from durable metal with a simple, practical design, it allows weight to be distributed more effectively across the wearer's back and hips.
Featuring adjustable attachment points and fittings for securing the ALICE pack and additional equipment, the frame can also be adapted for carrying a variety of loads beyond the standard military setup.
A favourite among military collectors, bushcraft enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers, it also makes a fantastic starting point for a Ghostbusters cosplay proton pack setup.
