The Rothco Heavyweight Mini Alice Pack is a military-inspired canvas rucksack built for hiking, camping, and outdoor carry. Constructed from heavyweight 18 oz cotton canvas with reinforced stitching throughout the body, straps, and pockets, it holds 20 liters of gear in a compact 12.75 x 5.75 x 16 inch frame. Available in five colorways: Black, Woodland Camo, Olive Drab, Coyote Brown, and Earth Brown.
Built From Heavy Canvas
The Mini Alice Pack uses 18 oz heavyweight cotton canvas, a material that resists abrasion and sheds light moisture naturally. That weight of canvas holds its shape under load and stands up to repeated field use without the softening or fraying that lighter fabrics develop over time. Reinforced stitching at the body seams, strap attachment points, and pocket edges extends the pack's working life beyond what the fabric alone would provide.
Organized for Field Use
A top-loading main compartment with drawstring closure keeps clothing, a mess kit, a lantern, and other bulky essentials contained and accessible. Three exterior flap-closure pockets add dedicated space for smaller tools, emergency supplies, and everyday carry items, keeping them separated from the main load and shielded from the elements. The layout follows the ALICE pack logic of putting frequently needed items at the outside, reducing the need to dig through the main compartment.
Carries More Than It Holds
The adjustable front flap closure is designed to lash a tent or sleeping bag on top of the pack, extending effective carry capacity beyond the 20-liter interior. Canvas loop straps on the front flap and between the utility pockets provide attachment points for additional gear. Adjustable double-layer shoulder straps distribute the combined load across the shoulders for a stable carry on longer outings.
