Genuine USMC ILBE Gen II Assault Pack (APB03) in MARPAT Woodland camouflage. Designed by Arc’teryx and manufactured by Propper International under a 2007 USMC contract (SPM1C1-07-D-0012).
 
The ILBE (Improved Load Bearing Equipment) system was issued to U.S. Marines as a major upgrade over the ALICE platform, built for durability, load stability, and extended field operations. Constructed from heavy-duty nylon with reinforced stitching and extensive compression capability, this is a serious field pack.
 
This example is in great overall condition, showing only minor fading consistent with light use. All straps and hardware are intact and functional. One tan side-release buckle has been professionally replaced with a black buckle, which does not affect function and is fully secure. A name has also been written and crossed out on the back.
 
Features include a large main compartment with drawstring storm collar, removable top lid, MOLLE webbing for modular attachments, multiple compression straps, and a padded structural back panel for load support.
 
A clean, well-kept and increasingly sought-after Arc’teryx-designed USMC pack.
