ROTHCO ALICE PACK FRAME WITH ACCESSORIES
The Rothco ALICE backpack frame features the classic design of the LC-1 military system. Made of aluminum, it provides a rigid structure designed to better distribute and stabilize the load when carrying a compatible pack.
Sturdy yet relatively lightweight, this frame is especially suited to fans of military surplus, hiking, camping, expeditions, bushcraft, and field gear.
LC-1-style aluminum frame
The aluminum frame is designed to withstand demanding use while avoiding the weight of an all-steel frame.
The external-frame design also helps transfer some of the pack’s weight to the belt and hips instead of placing the entire load on the shoulders.
Padded shoulder straps included
The frame comes with adjustable polyester shoulder straps.
They feature:
- Padding for improved comfort
- Reinforced construction
- Box X-style reinforced stitching
- Adjustability to fit the user
These shoulder straps are designed to distribute the load more evenly and reduce discomfort when carrying the pack for extended periods.
Quick-release lumbar belt
A padded lumbar belt/pad is also included.
It helps support the lower back and transfer some of the load to the hips. The belt has a quick-release buckle, which is useful when you need to remove the pack quickly.

Ideal for putting an ALICE pack back into service
This frame is a great option for replacing a damaged ALICE frame, completing a pack sold without a frame, or building a load-carrying system based on the popular ALICE military design.
With the shoulder straps and lumbar belt already included, the frame is ready to accept a compatible pack, so you don’t have to purchase the main harness components separately.
Please note: the ALICE backpack is not included.
