- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2013Customer service isn't dead folks. I went with one of the used ones from an outside seller (AmmoCanMan) and ordered a military surplus frame. I had a MINOR bump in the road I could handle myself, piddly in fact, but I contacted the seller just for FYI purposes so they could check their stock and avoid the outside chance of an issue in the future. Got IMMEDIATE personal contact. AmmoCanMan and crew went above and beyond (really..not a cliche') to make things right although I told them I didn't need or expect anything.
These guys are fantastic. I will NOT hesitate to go to them again and will definitely point my friends in their direction. I cannot say enough about how helpful and understanding they are. Finding a seller that cares nowadays is huge. Big A+ stamp of approval.
As for the frames, I know there's been a few styles over the years, maybe some are stronger than the others. I see "flimsy" in some reviews. These things have been around a while so I guess the possibility exists for a beat down one or a cheapo reproduction, but honestly, they're tough as heck and a serious bang for the buck. Really can't go wrong with an ALICE unless you don't like the whole "green" camo thing. lol
Update: Like everything else, Chinese reproductions exist. Check out youtube and do the google thing. After Chinese dry wall and lead paint toys would you expect a quality Chinese backpack frame? I think not. Check with the seller and look for the real deal. The REAL ones are what I reviewed and I stand by them. Good, tough, and a lot of bang for the buck. Chinese repro...you're on your own.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025Awesome pack! With a few do-it-yourself tweaks this thing fits right on the Spirit Halloween full pack or can be placed on the Hasbro pack!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023Title says it all the Rothco Frame was used to mount to a haslab proton pack. The Alice frame does it’s job reasonably well; Weight of the proton pack is easily distributed and the weight of the pack feels lighter than wearing the pack with the straps it came with.
Now the only issue you will most likely encounter with this if used to mount a hasbro proton pack is the strap release; The straps have a tendency to unbuckle and release completely leaving you with a scenario of stopping your pack from hitting the floor.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2022I needed to make a sturdy carrier for going on hikes with my 15 year old dog. Most of the options on the market were lacking in comfort and durability. I did ruck marches with the ALICE frames back in the Army, and thought it would be a great platform to incorporate into a dog carrier backpack.
Overall, the build quality seems good and the frame is very lightweight. It is not uncomfortable to wear and has been perfect for my intended uses. My only complaint is that I wish it had a chest strap because it pulls pretty hard outward on your shoulders when fully loaded (I added a chest strap, but it'd be nice if it came with one).
I built an aluminum frame for the dog carrier and it bolted up nicely with the frame. The frame and carrier together weight in at 15 pounds, fully loaded with my dog it comes in at 30 pounds. The frame handles this weight flawlessly with no major flex of the metal.
I would definitely recommend this frame to anyone looking for a lightweight, strong, and affordable ruck sack platform.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021The media could not be loaded.
The frame came with a ROTHCO tag attached; whether it is genuine or not I can't confirm. I also can't attest to its durability as my pack weighs less than 20 lbs and is not used in extreme conditions.
5.0 out of 5 starsLike many others here, I purchased this as a cheap(er) alternative to a "real" ALICE pack frame for a Ghostbusters proton pack. The metal is fairly thin/lightweight, but it works for my purposes of hauling around a large chunk of plastic and electronics for 8 hours. I haven't had trouble with the straps coming undone but I also don't have the pack loaded up with too much weight. There are mounting holes at the bottom for attaching your standard ALICE accessories. I had to attach my prop using zip ties for design reasons, but it's holding up fine.Works fine for light duty use.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015I got an authentic, used military A.L.I.C.E. pack frame, good condition except for a cracked buckle. I emailed the seller AmmoCanMan, and they sent me a perfect replacement. I've been using the pack constantly, paired with the medium A.L.I.C.E pack. And I don't just use it out in the woods. One day, I carried home almost 70lbs of groceries in one trip, over half on my back and the rest in my hands.
The only problem with it was that, being a woman, my hips didn't fit well into the shape of the frame. But with a few modifications to the low back rest and adjusting the whole pack slightly higher than most people, I was able to fix it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018Okay so I was a bit skeptical in buying this due to the poor reviews I have read, however for what I use it for this product is great. I didn't buy this for any outdoors work or hiking, I actually bought this for a Ghostbuster cosplay so I could mount my Proton pack onto it. For that purpose it's perfect, it looks spot on and feels great and helps the pack feel super secure. If I was to use this for outdoors or hiking I'm not super confident in it's ability to hold up. The straps and frame are pretty cheap and not at all surplus. This is a cheap copy however if what you want it for is a Ghostbuster cosplay then this is the best bang for your buck and will definitely hold up perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good ALICE Frame replacement!
Obviously this is a Chinese copy that is not as good as the originals. Saying that, I bought this to fit onto a medium (Chinese copy) ALICE pack. Since the originals were over engineered, this is more than adequate. Even though the padding on the straps and the kidney belt is half as thick as the originals, for a medium ALICE pack, it does just fine (especially at this price). For a large ALICE pack, I would just buy after market shoulder straps and kidney belt with thicker padding. The rivets on mine were intact. The other great thing about the ALICE frame, is it is so simple and versatile, you can easily throw it on other packs, and modify it to your heart's content! Think the rivets are weak, then just weld the frame together, or replace the rivets with bolts. That's the great thing about ALICE, you can modify it to your hearts content. With just a few extra straps, pouches, paracord, aftermarket parts and a sewing kit, you are ready to rock-and-roll. Vastly superior to MOLLE, just give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is movie accurate to Ghostbusters afterlife!
Best £80 I have ever spent! This LC1 Alice frame fits perfectly on my Hasbro Ghostbusters proton pack. The straps are so comfy and the quick realise can easily be non existent so the straps don't come undone. Being that this is a rothco frame it's 100% accurate to Ghostbusters afterlife. My pack is a mis match of all 3 movies so I'm very happy with this.
Seriously this is a must have to bring your proton pack to life! Buy now you will not regret it 👍
