Adopted in 1973, the All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE) was one of the earliest load-bearing systems that saw a significant increase in the amount of supplies that could be personally transported into the field. It was built as its own system to accommodate a lightweight kit in conjunction with a personal rucksack. The harness system featured a pistol belt, Y-harness, magazine, grenade, and canteen pouches. These durable nylon pouches were originally meant to carry just grenades, but are a perfect fit for three 30-round STANAG pattern magazines. With two side pockets and easy attachment through an eyelet strap, they remain useful even in isolation from the rest of the rig.
Specs
- Holds three 30-round STANAG pattern magazines
- Two standard ALICE clips on back
- Two side pockets
- Strap with eyelet
- Quick-release latch
- Durable, moisture-resistant nylon with plastic reinforcement

Useful, Solid
Exactly what you'd expect. Threw on the outside of my Large ALICE pack for easy access to small items (phone, wallet etc). Believe it or not many AROTC programs still issues ALICE gear to cadets. These pouches would be an upgrade for some.
its a mag pouch
Nothing to complain about, its in decent shape and the parts are all there
