AKMAX ALICE Medium 50L Carry & Sleep Field Kit — a complete LC-1-style external-frame rucksack system paired with one self-inflating ground mat.
This is an independent configured kit with its own SKU, not a duplicate of the standard ALICE Medium page. It combines the Medium 50L carrying system with a compact ground-sleeping component for standard orders, samples, wholesale programs and project procurement.
Equipment lineage and kit origin
ALICE stands for All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment, a U.S. military load-carrying system adopted in 1973. Its serviceable external-frame field-pack architecture influenced later military and outdoor carrying systems.
The self-inflating ground mat was not part of the historical ALICE specification. This exact pack-and-mat combination is an AKMAX commercial carry-and-sleep field kit rather than an official historical issue set.
Commercial-product notice: Newly manufactured AKMAX configuration; not original U.S. government issue, military surplus, evidence of military adoption or a certified government-contract kit.
