User Review: U.S. Armed Forces ALICE Pack

Reviewed March 5, 2009 by Beaker

Price Paid: $40

I got the large pack with frame of course and I gave it a brief shakedown for a weekend. My son and I went for a hike. He basically carried a day pack with about 10 pounds of stuff in it. I carried the rest. I ended up with 50 pounds strapped to my back at the end of the day and this thing was pretty good.

I've had other external frame packs that were slightly more comfortable but I do have to say that low slung pack aids in balancing. It could definitely benefit form a sternum strap but once you get the thing slung properly for you--everyone is a little different--it's certainly good enough for the average hiker with tons of space and seemingly a pocket for just about everything.

It's not for the gram-weanies though. This is a stout pack not intended for ultra light anything. However if you want to have a lot of creature comforts back at the campsite then this is the pack system for you. If you are the one that cuts the the handle of your toothbrush then you are not going to appreciate this unit.
