More than just an ALICE pack frame for the 21st century.
The Fortitude Pack Frame is the result of decades of real-world use and comprehensive study of military and recreational backpack frames and accessories. It’s built for dependability and simplicity: no bells and whistles or failure points, just functional, usable design in a profile built for anyone.
 
The Fortitude Solution: A Lightweight, Indestructible Pack Frame
The Fortitude Pack Frame addresses the issues that have plagued load carriage for decades with a modern, modular design that is cross-compatible with a variety of packs and is highly capable for standalone “packboard” functionality.
This frame isn’t just an improved ALICE frame.
Made entirely from light-weight aircraft grade aluminum, the Fortitude frame is curved to match the profile of your back. It is thin enough to flex with natural body movement, but rigid enough vertically to support more than 250 pounds of weight. Its monolithic design with no moving parts eliminates common break or wear and failure points, so you can go the distance knowing your frame is truly up to the task.
Ditch standard-issue and consider a pack frame that will work as hard as you do – and maybe a little harder.
 
The Frame: ALICE Compatible, FILBE Ready
The Fortitude Pack Frame is designed to work with all versions of the US military’s legacy ALICE pack – including ALICE belts and shoulder straps – and is a fully cross-compatible with the current USMC-issue FILBE pack and components.
Our design allows the Fortitude frame to be used with a wide array of packs on the market, including standard issue military packs as well as many recreational commercial packs. Any pack that accepts a legacy style ALICE frame will accept the Fortitude Pack Frame.
The Fortitude can also be used as a standalone frame with no pack at all. Using your preferred shoulder straps and waist belt, the Fortitude can be used as a packboard to haul odd-sized duffle bags, waterproof bags, water containers, fuel cans, buckets, chainsaws, tools, fresh big game quarters, or pretty much anything you can think of.
