Marsoc still uses the ALICE, from A&S to the teams. They upgrade the straps,belt and all that, but still use the stock sacks and frame. The ilbe get interesting when you have a vest with cumberbun, battle belt and the pack waist belt all crowding your 6 pack/keg area. You can still make it work a keep the majority of the load on your hips.

Not sure about details, but I've heard this too.
Without any armor on, it's actually kind of nice, but with armor it's a pain in the butt. Also, with only one effective opening, it's a major hassle to get anything out of the bottom, like your sleep system or whatever.
I've heard from a reliable rumor mill that there's something new coming our way. Good news for me. In the mean time I'm going to make a visit to Saigon Sam’s...

Although I hate Botach, they have Kelty packs on sale right now. I may have to get a Falcon. It is only $150.

Just a heads up regarding the Kelty Falcon. There's a guy on ebay selling them for 134.95 w/ free shipping.
