The US Marines are just as rough as pictured on the Aliens movie. Why else would these packs look like they've been through Iraq and still fit for civilian service? The coyote brown colour works anywhere and the pack is definitely well made and designed, but someone might want to clean it up a bit before use.

The MOLLE compatible large assault pack consists of a two-way zippered main space and a smaller outer compartment, additionally secured with compression straps. Inside the main compartment is a pocket for a radio/hydration carrier and a plastic sheet "frame". The total volume of the pack is about 35 litres. Designed by Arc'teryx!

Rough surplus

If you can't stand sand, salty stains, some honest fraying and maybe a busted "secondary" buckle, this pack is not for you. Overall the condition is a bit on the rough side. We recommend cleaning the pack with water and mild soap - scrub it up good.

As is, these are still good to go what it comes to the important parts. These are all made by Eagle or Propper Industries.
