I've humped the ALICE (large and medium), LOWE, CPF90, SPEARS and Blackhawk SOF. Never got issued the MOLLE. For winter warefare and mountains prefer the LOWE/SPF90 (resitched), Maritime Operations (F470, diving and surface swimming) hands down the ALICE. For sea kayaking prefer an internal frame but haven't found the right one yet. SPEARS just too heavy to start with. Got the Blackhawk SOF but didn't do much humping with it as it was usually mounted outside the DMV.

Average weight during my teams Desert Storm SR mission was 120-130 lbs with no resupply (plus 30+ lb LBE). One thrid of the weight was water and it all went inside/outside a large ALICE.
