Product Overview
A loaded pack needs more than storage space—it needs a carrying system that helps manage the weight. The Rothco Alice Pack Frame with Attachments combines an LC-1-style aluminum frame with padded shoulder straps and a kidney pad that doubles as a waistbelt. It provides a supporting structure for compatible military packs, with adjustments that help you arrange the load more comfortably for the walk ahead.
A Carrying System You Can Adjust
The shoulder straps are adjustable, allowing you to tailor their position rather than work around a fixed fit. Added padding helps reduce discomfort under a loaded pack, while box-X stitching reinforces the straps at their attachment points. For airsoft players carrying equipment to a staging area, or hikers organizing gear for a longer outing, those details matter once the pack is on your shoulders.
At the lower back, the kidney pad helps relieve pressure and manage weight distribution. Because it also functions as a waistbelt, it gives you another point of adjustment beyond the shoulder straps. Its quick-release buckle makes opening the belt straightforward when it is time to remove the frame.
Aluminum Support with Polyester Attachments
The aluminum construction keeps the frame lightweight while providing a durable backbone for the pack. Both the shoulder straps and kidney pad use polyester material intended for repeated outdoor use. This combination suits a military-style carrying setup for field equipment, camping supplies, or other outdoor gear.

Its adaptable structure also offers a foundation for costume props when you need a wearable framework rather than a conventional gear-carrying arrangement.
