US Cold War Surplus and ALICE Era (1972–1990)

The golden age of Woodland camouflage. This category covers the equipment used by the US Military after Vietnam and leading up to Desert Storm. It is the era of the ALICE (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment)system, arguably the most durable field gear ever issued.

Collection Highlights:

  • ALICE Packs: The ultimate rucksack for heavy loads. Available in Medium and Large.

  • M81 Woodland: The iconic 4-color camouflage RDF and BDU uniforms introduced in 1981.

  • Conflict Gear: Authentic items from Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada) and Operation Just Cause (Panama).

  • 6-Color Desert: The famous 'Chocolate Chip' pattern developed in the 80s.

Durability Note: Unlike modern lightweight gear, 1980s nylon equipment was built to be bombproof. Perfect for rugged outdoor use.
