Built on what worked
Pattern 26 keeps the parts of ALICE that worked, adds modern materials, and borrows the simplicity of the SADF Pattern 70, Pattern 83 and M1928 systems.
The Short Ruck sits lower than the frame. The space above it takes a sleep system, a jerry can, a Pelican case or an optics case, strapped to the lid with standard 1 in. hardware.
