Description

The PLATATAC HUTAN HWC ALICE Pack is an external-frame field pack built around the proven ALICE-style load carriage format, with a medium back length and a storage layout designed to keep equipment organised and accessible.

Compatible with 1606MC, ALICE and selected OEM external frames, the HUTAN combines the stand-off and load-transfer advantages of an external-frame system with a more modern storage layout.

The main compartment uses a roll-top style throat with dual cinch closures, with internal hydration / equipment sleeves, a radio / utility pouch, mesh admin storage and a zippered divider separating the lower sleeping gear compartment.

Externally, two large vertical pockets, a horizontal zippered pouch, dual mesh side sleeves and a fixed lid provide additional storage without relying on extra modular pouches.

The HUTAN provides approximately 56L of fixed enclosed storage, excluding the expandable throat and external mesh sleeves.

Please note: The HUTAN HWC ALICE Pack is supplied as the pack bag only. Frame, shoulder straps, waist belt and other accessories are sold separately. Check out our ALICE Compatibility Guide below for more details.

Best All Rounder Pack!!

Non military but used Tasmanian Tiger, Mystery Ranch and Savotta packs over the years and this is by far the best hiking pack i have used for overnight to 5 day hikes. Paired with the 1606 frame and frame strap set its very comfortable with a 18 - 28kg load zero issues. Load lifters could be improved but that's the only negative. 55lt main pack but possibly 66lt+ with all pouches included. Buying another to store as a backup its that good.

If you want this pack, do not hesitate, buy it!

Bought it for my son. He is very enthousiastic: it is a comfortable pack (combi with the 1606 frame) , even with heavy loads and it is slim, so it does not limit movement through a dense forest or brush. Only one remark: some of the clips that fix the pack on the frame make noise when they brush up against the frame under load, but that was easily fixed applying tape around the clips to limit the sound.
The construction quality of the pack is superb.
