Anyone ever shorten it up by an inch or two on the bottom?
Just a suggestion. I'd look to the Downeast 1606AC frame (AC=Alice Compatible) before I'd go with the old Alice frame. I'm using one on my Nimrod setup.

There are so many better options, even on a small budget . . .
Uncle Sam had me wearing one for years. Just terrible.
I have been PTing in an Alice frame with Med bag. Right now training hikes are sub 5 milers, and it really makes me appreciate the Duplex frame when its time to go. I want the crappy, painful frame for Training Hard and toughening up, then using the better carrying frame for the hunt for more comfort. I can also replace the Alice for about $25.00 on fleabay if need be. Adding water and 42# bags of cat litter serves as ballast.
