    64/alice MOLLE Modular s ys temIt is not by mere chance that so many componentsof the Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Rucksack andthe U.S. Army ALICE pack interchange. They are in fact siblings. The pack commonlyknown in todays modern tactical community asthe Canadian Army 64 was actually developedfor winter operations by the U.S. Army in 1961! Itwas designated as the T62-1 LightweightRucksack. The Canadians adopted the T62-1 with minorchanges to suit their needs in 1964. Thus theunofficial slang designation as the 64 Ruck. The U.S. Forces, used the 64, along with variousother rucksacks throughout the Vietnam conflict.Production ceased in 1973 when the ALICE Packreplaced it. At Drop Zone, we speculate that since theALICE pack replaced the 64, it was a requirementthat many of the textile components be

    interchangeable, at least until old 64 stocks were used up. Our speculation explains the high interchangeabilityof components between the two systems. The Canadians replaced the 64 system withanother ruck system known generically by theCanucks as the 82 Pattern. The Canadian 82 Patternsystem has proven to be such a huge, flipping,disaster, that many switched on Canadian troopshave resurrected their fathers old 64 rucksacks! Asyou can imagine these are quite old and wearingout. Due to the high demand for a pack that hasntbeen built for over a decade we have decided toproduce a 21st Century version of the 64 Rucksackwhich we call the 64/Alice. At this point we willcaution the reader that all the components are soldseparately. We do this as many who build their 64/Alice system have a dogs breakfast of bits and pieces going and may not require all of the components wemake available.

    64/alice MOLLE Modular s ys temSHOULDER STRAP SET

    Our shoulder strap designs have won praise from our customers for years. In fact, in thetactical sewing business, we pioneered the concept of making the strap wider rather thanover padded. A concept that we are proud to say many of our competitors have now adoptedas their own. While a thickly padded shoulder strap may look good or even feel good in theretail environment, in the real world of combat it has a disadvantage. Simply put, the bulk ofa thickly padded shoulder strap amplifies the bulk created by body armor and web gearmaking bad situation worse. If the soldier can actually move his arms, to raise his weapon,his cheek weld has changed, due to the bulk of all the gear! At Drop Zone we found that bymaking the shoulder strap wider, spreading the load over a wider area, we could not onlyretain the comfort of a thickly padded strap, as well as increase the comfort factor withoutadverse change to shooters the cheek weld! To accommodate the extra width of the shoulder strap our designers contoured the cut,perfecting the fit. To prevent the shoulder straps from sliding off nylon body armor, weadded a fully adjustable sternum strap with quick release buckle. Fully knowing that soldierslike to keep gear handy, we fitted the shoulder strap with mil-spec d-rings. To finish thestraps off, the tabular adjustment buckles are mil-spec as well.

    HEAVY DUTY KIDNEY BELTLoad transfer from the pack frame to the hips is delivered via our well-proven Heavy Duty Kidney Belt. We have been using this belt design onour internal frame packs since 1997 with great success. To adapt this beltdesign to the 64 Alice frame our designers added two 1 mil-spec strapsthat tighten with tabular buckles. These straps limit sideways movement.To prevent up and down motion of the belt against the frame, we use thesame movement limiting method that we used for the main bag mounting:webbing loops that will allow the use of para-cord or zap straps to literallytie the belt to the frame. The belt secures to the wearer with 2 mil-specwebbing and a mil-spec side release buckle. Order # 17-130422xx SpecifyClassic Olive or Co yote
