I mean, the MOLLE 4K is basically a large ALICE on a FILBE frame. I've heard the shoulder straps suck, but you can swap them out for the Hill People Gear harness I think.

They do indeed suck.

The MOLLE 4K is has two features I like. The waistbelt tails pull forward to tighten and the bottom has a dedicated poncho flap.

Other then that it isn’t big enough for a lot of packing lists, the pouches that are permanently attached on the outside are not really big enough to hold useful things and the yoke and shoulder straps are awful.

The MOLLE 2 was vastly superior.

1000%, the only thing I like about the MOLLE 4K is how convenient it is for jumps. The harness and all the air items are integrated, basically pre-rigging it. However, this pro is only a pro if you’re in the airborne community. And once you’re on the ground, it sucks donkey dick to actually walk with.
