## Description

desertcart.com : Rothco Alice Pack Frame with Attachments – Includes Padded Shoulder Straps and Kidney Pad Waistbelt – Lightweight Aluminum Construction : External Frame Backpacks : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great price, good quality - I needed to make a sturdy carrier for going on hikes with my 15 year old dog. Most of the options on the market were lacking in comfort and durability. I did ruck marches with the ALICE frames back in the Army, and thought it would be a great platform to incorporate into a dog carrier backpack. Overall, the build quality seems good and the frame is very lightweight. It is not uncomfortable to wear and has been perfect for my intended uses. My only complaint is that I wish it had a chest strap because it pulls pretty hard outward on your shoulders when fully loaded (I added a chest strap, but it'd be nice if it came with one). I built an aluminum frame for the dog carrier and it bolted up nicely with the frame. The frame and carrier together weight in at 15 pounds, fully loaded with my dog it comes in at 30 pounds. The frame handles this weight flawlessly with no major flex of the metal. I would definitely recommend this frame to anyone looking for a lightweight, strong, and affordable ruck sack platform.
Review: Tough old backpack frame - Customer service isn't dead folks. I went with one of the used ones from an outside seller (AmmoCanMan) and ordered a military surplus frame. I had a MINOR bump in the road I could handle myself, piddly in fact, but I contacted the seller just for FYI purposes so they could check their stock and avoid the outside chance of an issue in the future. Got IMMEDIATE personal contact. AmmoCanMan and crew went above and beyond (really..not a cliche') to make things right although I told them I didn't need or expect anything. These guys are fantastic. I will NOT hesitate to go to them again and will definitely point my friends in their direction. I cannot say enough about how helpful and understanding they are. Finding a seller that cares nowadays is huge. Big A+ stamp of approval. As for the frames, I know there's been a few styles over the years, maybe some are stronger than the others. I see "flimsy" in some reviews. These things have been around a while so I guess the possibility exists for a beat down one or a cheapo reproduction, but honestly, they're tough as heck and a serious bang for the buck. Really can't go wrong with an ALICE unless you don't like the whole "green" camo thing. lol Update: Like everything else, Chinese reproductions exist. Check out youtube and do the google thing. After Chinese dry wall and lead paint toys would you expect a quality Chinese backpack frame? I think not. Check with the seller and look for the real deal. The REAL ones are what I reviewed and I stand by them. Good, tough, and a lot of bang for the buck. Chinese repro...you're on your own.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: why isn't the shelf provided.  I had to contact surplus stores to find one.**
A: different models; the one with the "shelf" is for comm gear, the radio guy who has to hump his pack plus the PRC 119 or PRC 77 with it as well.  You're not going to want a "shelf" if you're trying to make a pack for hiking, camping or bug out (survival) bag.  Stick with a medium to large ALICE pack with a regular frame, unless your wanting to have a frame for moving something hard & heavy for a short distance.

**Q: Will it fit a mini Alice pack?**
A: It should. It's sturdy and smaller than I had thought it would be.

**Q: Can I use this with an army medium rucksack?**
A: If you are talking about the medium ALICE pack, yes.  Both a medium and large ALICE fit the same frame.

**Q: Would this fit a vintage mt blanch back pack with missing frame. Would this work as a replacement**
A: NO
