5 11 tactical lookalikes

[kyle_172]

seen a few on ebay they look good value for money at forty quid just wondering if anyone had one or knew of them. Also does anyone know of any bags in the uk similar to that of the us alice pack?? the less zips the better in my eyes. lLooking into getting my first bob together thankyou.

There really hit and miss, I have a Maxpedition active shooter clone which was made from what I think is 600D nylon, which is good but the stitching was crap, and then I also own a Eberlestock Phantom sniper pack clone (in black) which feels the same as the real one I own.

If you want 5:11 pay for 5:11 , if you buy rip off 5:11 expect it to rip 5:11, the think is like everything else, you pays your money you takes your chance , typical they will be knock off copies , which on the whole will be of lesser quality.

there are more manufacturers out there

Plenty of Alice packs on Ebay, good choice for a BOB IMO, but then I have one

Why buy knock-off?
Either you want the build quality or you don't

I'd rather have honest Mil-surp then tactifake

It's not really about the build quality a lot of the time but the features. Most Mil-surp is too big, heavy, or lacks features. Alice packs for example unloaded are quite heavy for what they are, plus they can't carry a long riffle, you also don't have the modern MOLLE system.

Thanks for the replies. Yes i would rather go for something that will last so its either between the 5-11 or alice any thoughts on these?

I'm old school, I like my rucks to be one (or at most two) big bag(s) with a couple of large pockets and no MOLLE webbing as I hate its looks
In other words this (or its big brother with a frame)


What do you want it for ?

Can you post a link to the 5 11 you're looking at ?

Just after it for a SHTF scenario and the odd weekend in the sticks. Im a fan of the alice packs i like the simplicity, less things to go wrong however i see the appeal of the tactical rush.

Second the ALICE pack. Mine is an early 1960's version and still going strong. No rips, tears or rotting.
