ALICE chest rig

Howdy Jow Forumsommandos,

I'm hoping one of y'all can answer a question I have about ALICE rigs. I haven't been able to find any photos of these backstrap slots in use and am quite curious as to what they're for. This one happens to be Dutch from '96 but I've also seen this on US and others. I put ammo in them to make it a little clearer. Any help is much appreciated!

Here's a shitty photo of it on if it wasn't obvious as to what I'm talking about.

Sorry fren, I can’t answer your question, but my older generation ALICE gear doesn’t have those.
Anyone know what the little open bottom pouches on the sides of the mag pouch are for?

grenade pouches

They're for baseball grenades

Well, guess i can carry baseballs or something.
I figured it was for grenades but hoped there was some better use.

I'll bet you can find a good use for the gear you have :)

ya know, it does look like it can fit a fleshlight.

Thanks for the inspiration!

That's why I'm curious about these slots behind the neck; if I knew what they were for, I could use that as inspiration to come up with a similar solution. Until then I don't know what the fuck to do with them. I imagine the shoulder slots could be for routing antennae or securing a daypack (or hydration, nowadays)

I run my hydration hose from the water in the buttpack through those loops and over the shoulders, works extremely well.

The Tactical Fleshlight comes in Burka Black, Stateside Whore Tan, and Commie Cunt Green

Or Desert Queen ACU

Every loadout I can find still don't include the backstrap slots, e.g.

You mean through the loops behind your neck and then over the shoulder?

Yes but I use the older harness style of ALICE

Ahh ok I didn't know about that double strap iteration thanks

there should be two fabric loops on the back straps

Bump cause I've been trying to get an answer for almost a year now

pretty sure that’s the pigeon crusher attachment point
