[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 598263, member: 1211"] Comparatively, the old military packs are brutal carries. They didn't care if a GI was struggling through a hump. The new ones, like the USMC ILBE, were based on a tried and true civilian design that was a great seller and a notoriously comfortable and quality pack. Of course, they added another couple pounds of webbing and woven nylon-cored rubber zipper pulls, so they weren't exactly the same. Nevertheless, I bet those jarheads couldn't wait to trade in their old MOLLE backpacks for the ILBEs. The difference in comfort is like night and day, and they didn't sacrifice any durability.
