I am sure you will be able to get one from somewhere, or maybe a torn pack that you can remove leaving you with the frame,... who makes them, maybe they can be contacted

I put the photo up because Madgirl asked what an Alice pack was,... I had never heard of one either

trouble is, i think, its a US system and i cant find any this side of the pond, Dave Canterbury who does a lot of youtube videos bought one second hand for like $20 but i cant find any here in the UK.

I do like the look of the pack, it looks to be made of a very light nylon,..as opposed to my Bergan that quiet heavy when empty,... and from what I can see the frame could almost carry anything, pack or other.

If your request is just for the frame, have you looked at something like a radio frame?, I will have a look and see if I can find what I mean

.............something like this

yeah thanks HL, i'll try putting that in my search instead. found a frame on ebay £4.49 but the shipping was nearly £21..another was £1.28! but the shipping was over £33.

just had a look at the radio packs, too big/too over the top...oh well, i'll keep looking.

maybe a daft question, why not just get a normal frame rucksack, and just use the frame part? you can get them for a fiver or less on ebay,
