AKMAX ALICE Max Pro Complete Pack Frame System
An AKMAX upgraded ALICE-style external-frame assembly supplied with frame, padded shoulder straps, kidney pad and waist belt in Multi-Terrain Camouflage.
Equipment Lineage: ALICE
ALICE means All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment. U.S. Army historical sources place its adoption and introduction in the 1973–1974 period. The larger field-pack load used a serviceable external-frame suspension that separated the frame, shoulder harness and waist/kidney support into replaceable components.
AKMAX components are commercial replacements or upgrades for compatible ALICE-style systems. They are not original U.S. government surplus or proof of official issue.
AKMAX commercial product. Not U.S. government issue, surplus, adoption or certification.
