  • Complete disassembled M81 rucksack. They are disassembled so a smaller box can be used and provide cheaper shipping. There are videos on youtube that show how to assemble the rucksack.
  • Comes with the main pack, 2 sustainment pouches, sleep system carrier, shoulder straps, waist pad, frame and 6 mag bandoleer.
Two-piece pack design
  • Separate upper main rucksack and lower sleep system carrier (MSS).
  • The MSS clips underneath the main pack instead of being integrated.
  • Allowed soldiers to remove the sleep carrier for lighter missions.
Black Down East polymer frame
  • Usually DEI 1601 or early 1602 black frames.
  • More ergonomic than ALICE metal frames.
  • Flexible polymer reduced noise and improved comfort.
  • Early frames had a reputation for cracking under extreme cold or abuse. With this being said I've personally been doing 65lb 3 mile rucks once a week for the past 3 years and I haven't seen any cracks or stress fractures yet.
Main pack capacity
  • Roughly 2,500-3,000 cubic inches in the upper pack.
  • Sleep system carrier added another ~2,000 cubic inches.
  • Two sustainment pouches added about 1,000 more combined.
  • Total capacity around 5,500-6,000 cubic inches depending on setup.
Modular sustainment pouches
  • Includes two detachable side sustainment pouches.
  • MOLLE/PALS compatible.
  • Commonly used for chow, wet-weather gear, or ammo.
Hybrid attachment methods
  • Some early packs still retained ALICE-style webbing in places.
  • Transitional gear often mixed ALICE compatibility with newer MOLLE webbing.
Radio pocket and claymore pouch
  • Internal radio sleeve for SINCGARS radios.
  • External "claymore pocket" could also store magazines or admin gear.
  • Included in this pack is the removable bandoleer insert.
Heavy-load capability
  • Designed for 100+ lb combat loads.
  • Much better hip load transfer than ALICE.
  • The frame stood off the back slightly to improve airflow and allow hydration carriers behind the frame.
3 day assault pack (not included)- The 3 day assault pack was made to integrate into this system via buckles and the main lid
