I eventually went with a Tactical Tailor modified ALICE and it was great, cant say enough about it.
On a side note, you ever notice that no matter how much more room your ruck has its always stuffed? Good thing you have a Charlie to come up with the pack list and cross load plan!

I agree 100%. I've used the MOLLE (piece of shit) spears (I liked it, but just too small) Gregory (Great concept, but the fact that it weighed almost 13lbs empty, just impractical) so I have stuck with my Alice modified by Tactical Tailor. I've had it for 6-7 years, and for the most part it's the only one I use.
