The current issue usmc main pack is very nice. I used this pack when I was in the Marine Corps infantry 2004-2008. In 2004recruits in boot camp still had to use alice packs and they absolutely suck. There not big enough and they hurt. The current molle pack is comfortable and very strong. I was issued one when I got to the fleet. I used it for three years on hikes, training ops, and two deployments to Iraq. It went through a lot of abuse from use and being strapped on an LAV but it held up great
I found a VERY used one with no hip belt and lid for 80 bucks. I have a belt from another pack that should work, the straps are really worn, but hey, it was 80 bucks. Ill have too spend some time fixing it up.
I recommend finding a complete pack. Finding the parts to piece it together are hell to find. Lids are usually $30-50 and the Belt is usually $30-50 on eBay.
I see this sitting on ebay for a really low price, but its just the actual ruck not the frame. Its missing the lid. Do you think the frame would be impossible to find?
If you have not done so, take a look at my video of the CFP-90. It is a quality pack and I just got a few of those in. Send me an email if you are interested.
ya but i just can’t go out and spend 200 buck$ for a back pack. i am thinking of getting one. but not any time soon. i can get em at some military surplus for like 70 or 100. there is one i want on ebay called a usmc molle 3 day pack. looks realy good
If you find one for $200 buy it, that is cheap for this pack. Like new Gen. II packs as shown in the video can go for $400+. You are right though, the way this pack is constructed it will last a long time and the parts that might give such as a buckle can easily be replaced. I have learned when buying camping gear buy quality. I would not cut corners on a pack, the last thing you want to happen when you are in the mountains is the bottom of your B.O.B blowing out.
beautiful pack but way too rich..im working on altering my cfp 90 ruck into external frame…i need a good frame and ill go from there. not for lashing as mentioned because no need with molle.. i prefer the ability to shift weight .. but would like a single frame i can use to lash multiple rucks on.
We have been to the moon since the invention of the Alice Pack. You are looking at a $200 price difference but it does not compare. The Alice pack is so outdated. Technology has changed since then. You will NOT get the comfort you want with an Alice Pack like you will get with ILBE. Also the ILBE pack allows you to accessorize/ customize. Some people like external for lashing capabilities but the ILBE has MOLLE webbing all over for that. It is the last pack you will ever need.
shes a beauty!! Semper Fi!!! my Marine recruiter tol me if i get 6 referrals (which is almost impossible) he would give me a backpack like this one but smaller. lol
It is a great pack as you can read even from the comments below of people who have bought from me. I sold through the ones I had available but hope to get more in soon. Best to try eBay if you want to buy one now. It is called the ILBE made by Propper/ Arc’teryx. There is also a ILBE Recon which is similar. I would only recommend buying the Gen II which is the one with tan color padding because it will be newer and less damaged, also one that is complete with lid and waist belt.
I registered to your site however, it needs to be updated. Will you eventually show what radio you use Degen 1103 Or u keep in your YAESU FT-817ND . Or What is in the Top. I noticed that Climbing rope is expensive 150+ Where did you get your’s? I believe you need to show on your site what you carry in the bag. the bottom of it and the top. Food and Cloth es in the bottom and Fleese and radio in the top.Please give more detail. Your website Link’s sometimes are not working. Great !!

looks similar to my arc’teryx tango pack..
Where can I get one?

Perhaps….but i imagine a good number of these werent stolen. Plus how would this guy possibly know if it was stolen?

I just got more “like new” CFP-90 packs that include the patrol pack instock for anyone who is looking for one.

these things are expensive! like 200 bucks on ebay! but i guess it could be worth it grant it they will last a very long time and can cary alot

how do these compare to the large alice packs?
Do you have the assault pack?

It’s a fantastic pack. You can carry a small child in it and won’t feel the weight. Very nice clip- thanks.
its worked well for me so far. how long have you used this pack for?
they did it too light. Useless in woodland terrain. They need to make it with darker olive stripes.
