Got this rucksack dropped off by the brown truck. ALICE Large in Woodland. Supposedly US made... $80+ shipping from a certain online surplus shop with an address in Illiniois.... quality... its just not quite finished. By that... loose thread, raw edges all over the insides. The raw edges I can forgive, as I see that frequently even with govt contract gear, especially MOLLE gear. But the lack of finish work to the stitching? 30 minutes with a hot knife or shears wouldn't have raised costs that much
500D Cordura. Added 2 tri glides to the main straps at the top to mount to the MOLLE II frame with woodland suspension that I picked up. Also gave it the Fastex buckle mod. Heat sealed the raw edges and loose threads on the inside. Planning to sew binding tape on the two main seams thats been left raw. Also put on two Foliage Green cord locks since it didnt come with cordlocks. Last two pictures showing the quality as it came.
