ALICE Pack Frame
2 min read
Mounted to the motherboard, the ALICE frame is what the straps connect to so the user is able to wear their pack. A common misconception is that these frames come in different sizes when in fact, it is only the attached bags sometimes included that change in size. Usually, these frames come in a green color. The ones used in the movies where in fact black. Most people usually fix this just by spray painting over with black paint. ALICE pack frames can usually be found for around $20-$40 dollars on websites such as eBay and also in local military surplus stores.
The ALICE Frames come in two forms, the LC-1 and LC-2.
LC-1
The LC-1 has a smaller Kidney Pad along with a crisscross kind of connection from Strap to Frame. The waist strap quick release has a cover and is smaller in size. It's also available in Black, but harder to find now a days due to lesser usage and lesser comfort. However, it is most essential to have an LC-1 if making a full original Ghostbusters Proton Pack.
LC-2
The LC-2 has a larger Kidney Pad and bigger straps along with a straight connection from Strap to Frame. The waist strap can either have a small plastic quick release, or a large V-clip. It's only available in Olive Drab, which means you will have to paint it. The LC-2 is much easier to find the LC-1 due to it's newer age and comfort compared to the old LC-1's. You will need a Black LC-2 if you plan on making a full original Ghostbusters II Proton pack.
