Ahhh, the ALICE large isn’t so bad. It is the best ruck we have these days. The MOLLE stuff is junk and a good many of the troops are buying aftermarket stuff (depending on unit SOP). IMHO, by far the best ISSUE large military ruck is the Brit Bergan.

The ALICE large will work with web-gear ok if you replace the suspender clips on the web-gear with lengths of 550 cord. Basically you drop the pistol belt below the level of the ruck’s kidney pad. Works like a charm. …Of course you have to be in a unit that allows for some individual freedom with respect to personal equipment. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
