Ok, I did some searching to refresh my memory. The new frame is more of a Generation III, is made from different materials than the first two that had all the breakage problems, and is shaped differently to better conform to a wearer's back.

The bag, referred to as the 'MOLLE Large', is similar to the large ALICE bag in that it is one big compartment. This gets rid of the sleeping bag pouch hanging off the bottom, which folks here have noted as being really annoying. It looks very similar to a large ALICE bag, but with a zipper opening to access the bottom half of the bag from the outside, no radio pouch attachment points on the inside, what appears to be a snap fastening internal divider (think CPF-90 laced divider, only with overlapping snaps), and a mesh map pocket on the inside of the top flap. The bag is 28" tall, 10" deep and 18" wide, and is 4160ci in volume. Depending on construction quality, this may be a viable, cost-effective alternative to the large ALICE bag.
