The Rothco ALICE Pack Frame with Straps & Kidney Pad gives a long outdoor trip a solid base for carrying a heavy load. The aluminum LC-1 frame is built to fit various military packs and balances the weight of your gear while you carry it. Padded polyester shoulder straps with box X stitching ease strain, and the kidney pad alleviates lower back pressure, then doubles as a waistbelt with a quick release buckle.

Why it works:

  • A balanced load: Weight sits evenly on the trail, because the aluminum LC-1 frame is designed to balance the load from your gear.
  • Less strain under heavy loads: Adjustable polyester straps with additional padding and box X stitching let you carry heavy loads with reduced strain and discomfort.
  • Support where your back needs it: The kidney pad alleviates lower back pressure, helps adjust weight distribution and works as a waistbelt.
  • Made for rough conditions: The aluminum frame is built for durability, and the polyester straps and kidney pad are made to withstand harsh weather and constant outdoor use.
  • A complete setup in one box: The frame, a set of padded shoulder straps and the kidney pad ship together, ready to pair with your pack.

  • Build an ALICE Load System Outdoorsmen and service members build a complete load-bearing system by fitting a G.I. pack to the aluminum frame. The kidney pad and straps transfer weight to the hips.
