We set a lot of ALICE packs up for customers here who want a durable, rugged and inexpensive pack setup. With 40+ years in
service, the ALICE rucksack is a proven system that is hard to beat- but in can be improved on. 

One of the best, easiest and cheapest improvements is to add  a MOLLE waist belt as we show in this video. Not only is it a huge improvement in comfort and load carrying ability, but it also has MOLLE webbing that lets you carry a canteen, knife or holster. You can get a brand new belt to upgrade yours for only $9.95. 

Or, if you need a complete pack we have a new offering- a whole setup with a Medium Alice pack with frame, straps, upgraded MOLLE waist belt AND a canteen and cover for just $48.95! This combo is a great setup to build a bugout bag on and they make great gifts!
