This is going to knock your socks off. Tired of the poorly designed, issue ALICE frame, Tactical Tailor decided to do something about it and fix the problem. The result of their efforts is the Enhanced MALICE Pack Frame which is 15% lighter than the issue item.
Taking the basic ALICE design they made it from aluminum tubing to hold down weight and assembled the pieces with welded joints rather rivets. As you will notice, it has been powder coated in Coyote to better blend in.
Furthermore, the crossbar is offset to accommodate armor plates. Finally, the waist is scalloped in order to move the contact points further out on the hips.
Look for a more in depth article soon.

Same one they were selling a few years back…had a MSgt using one with his regular ALICE a year and a half ago.
When will these be on the market?
Will they come in different sizes?
How is this different from the TAG ALICE frame?
Jesus, let it die. We’re not driving Willy’s keeps around anymore or shooting M14s. Go try on a Mystery Ranch NICE frame and see what a pack should feel like.
Ha! Agreed. There’s a reason the ALICE is obsolete.
Is the NICE frame jump certified?
I hope they did this better than the TAG one. Didn’t really care for that one at all.
Nothing beats the Down East 1606AC for an ALICE frame.
