- Turn your head and cough, today we get up close and personal with the FILBE rucksack.
These are available in well used condition for a decent price or for more $$ in new or almost new condition. Because I bought my pack components a part at a time, total cost was around $140 - $160. You can get them for less.
Right now, new in the bag MOLLE components are selling about the same price as well used FILBE. Like the MOLLE II ruck, you'll get a big (FILBE is a bit bigger) heavy rugged and versatile backpack that costs far less than the commercial packs available. Replacement / upgraded parts should be available for some time to come.
A quick search on the web for commercial ultralight packs with similar capacity produced a limited number of choices and a weight savings of 3 - 5 lbs in the $200 - $300 range.
Nice Video 👍🏻
Do you think the Filbe waist belt would work w molle or Alice frame?
I haven't tried it, but it probably would. The MOLLE belt attaches with four straps. The FILBE has a fifth one and a pad. Unless that pad gets in the way or makes an uncomfortable lump in the small of the back, I think it will work.
