USMC ILBE Assault Pack

[acordero89]

Are US Marines issued a pack similar to this one or not?

[chadrunyon33]

@acordero89 yes they are i believe its they exact one that goes with the bigger one

[acordero89]

@chadrunyon33 Sweet do marines get to keep it after they have completed their service??? Im going to bootcamp in may so im just wonering....

[chadrunyon33]

@acordero89 actually if its like the army then no if they phase it out and dont ask for it then you keep it if not you have to turn it in to be sold in DRMO and then if your cool with the person in charge of supply they might possibly mark it off the list for you then you keep it

gotta luv the assault pack my cousin who was in the marines and now vet gave me his pack i love it u can pack alot of stuff in it and is heavy duty material.

[jhb3043]

does anyone know if this bag is big enough to pack a laptop??

[Hiluxtaco]

Can I get an update on this pack? Is it holding up? Have you blown out any zippers, stitches or anything?

[GearBuyersGuide]

@Hiluxtaco

gonna have to ask around, I don't remember whos pack this is

[Hiluxtaco]

@GearBuyersGuide Lefty is doing the review. Maybe it's his pack...

[GearBuyersGuide]

@Hiluxtaco

OK, well.. thing is.. he constantly steals other peoples stuff to do reviews.. but I'll ask him anyway, there is always that chance it was really his

[Hiluxtaco]

@GearBuyersGuide Lefty says in the video, "I ended up picking this one up off Ebay..."

So, I would assume that it is his. lol ;-)

.

Also, I really enjoy his reviews. So, if he wants to swipe other peoples stuff and film it, I won't tell anyone...

[mechwar31]

@Hiluxtaco The most common problem with 1st gen ILBE packs was that their small tooth zippers did tend to burst or simply break when the packs were stuffed to capacity. The 2nd gen packs have have larger and tougher zipers.

[Hiluxtaco]

@mechwar31 Thanks! I gotta pick one up to try out...

[panchotek]

the radio goes in side the main compartment, it fits a fox trout radio nicely...

[Hiluxtaco]

Does it say anywhere on this pack who it's made by?

M-T minds are curious.....

[Geyrel]

@Hiluxtaco Designed by Arc'Teryx, made by Propper.

[Hiluxtaco]

@Geyrel Thanks! I found a Tactical Tailor Assault pack that uses the same camo as this for $68-ish online. I'll have to pick one up...

[Geyrel]

@Hiluxtaco Nice find! I would consider picking one up, but I already have this plus an ILBE Gen 2 main pack, so I'm pretty much set. (I got them together for $180 shipped ;) ).

[GodOfWar5341]

It's kind of small for a BOB maybe a 1 day. But they sale them on grunt.com for 41.99. But opsgear.com has some pretty good bags as well. But great vid just start watching your vids wish I started way back.

[MrRUSS808]

LOL,i just had a layover in Phoenix

[rooftopeagle]

That looks like an excellent pack for a BOB!

[Lonewolf6565]

@rooftopeagle

get a spec-ops T.H.E pack. they are expensive as fuck but carry a ton and are nearly indestructible. and if the straps fail there is a lifetime guarantee.

[rooftopeagle]

@Lonewolf6565 Yeah I've been looking at the T.H.E pack, it's a bit above what I'm willing to pay for a pack. That's why I like this one!

[Lonewolf6565]

@rooftopeagle

i know its a bit pricey but everyone seems to absolutely love them.

[zreau]

I got the exact same pack, in mint condition. Carrying it on a warm day, does make your back sweat like hell!

[Cormier0]

i have one and its limited, but it gets the job done, although not a top pick

[xAZAZELx13]

Kool pack. I have one too.

[jaddra1]

I have gen 2 and like it a lot ... very comfy, excellent suspensions, isolation, design. Just a great pack ... highly recommended.

[megasimon999]

I have 2 of the Gen 1 assualt packs off e-bay from different vendors, both in very different conditions. The main issue with them is when you wear them on a hot day the back has no area to allow air between the pack and your back and you sweat like crazy.

These where designed for hot climates and I imagine this would suck, I dont know if the Gen 2 has improvements on this.

All in all a good pack for a pretty cheap price.

[airboy90]

Im assuming he bought it used, right? What gloves was he wearing??

[metalhead2508]

I have the complete ILBE rucksack with this assault pack and the hydo bladder. I did a review on it a couple of days ago. Very nice pack and it carries heavy loads extremely well. I've got the Gen. 2. Mine was brand new. I paid $200 for it. They usually run $400 for the whole setup. It's worth it though if you do alot of hiking or camping. Don't expect to find a new one for $200. I have a friend in the Marines who got mine for me.

[LIBERTYDOGG77]

I dont understand why the hell they started making the straps permenant instead of replacable like the ALICE? I'm betting it is to make their buddies corporations more money but thats just me!

[MultiWarmachine]

how much?is very beauty

[AndrewXAnarchy]

From what I've seen, it varies. But on eBay for around 60$.

[Airsoftattack123]
