USGI ALICE Pack Left Shoulder Strap – LC-2 OD Green (Non-Quick Release)

Description

This listing is for a Genuine USGI ALICE Left Shoulder Strap, the upgraded LC-2 version in classic Olive Drab (OD) Green. This specific strap is designed for the Left side of the pack frame. Unlike the right-side strap, which is equipped with a quick-release pull-tab for emergency shedding, this left-side strap is a fixed, non-quick release unit. The LC-2 design features significantly thicker, wider padding than the earlier LC-1 models, making it the preferred choice for carrying heavy loads in Medium or Large ALICE rucksacks.

Key Features & Design Elements

• Enhanced LC-2 Padding: The "v2" of the ALICE system, this strap provides superior cushioning to prevent "shoulder bite" during long-distance ruck marches with heavy mission loads.
• Fixed Attachment: Features a robust metal friction slider at the bottom rather than a quick-release snap. This ensures the strap remains securely fastened and provides a consistent fit that won't accidentally deploy.
• Durable OD Green Webbing: Constructed from military-grade nylon that is resistant to moisture, mildew, and rot—perfect for jungle or temperate environments.
• Integrated Load Adjustment: The upper portion includes the standard metal hardware to attach to the ALICE frame's top bar, allowing for vertical adjustment based on the user's torso length.
• Non-Slip Texture: The underside of the padding is designed to grip the uniform, reducing "pack sway" when moving over uneven terrain.

Condition: Used by our Troops in Good Condition, fully functional, may have cosmetic wear, may have some rust on quick release attachment point, Overall Good Condition.
