In an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-out) caption, the brand explains, “The ALICE system dates back to the mid-70s – a harness-based design which allows for weight to be distributed evenly across a soldier’s shoulders, waist and hips. These carrying systems served the [U.S. Military](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstoppable-fun) for over 20 years before the first round of modifications." The entire capsule features lightweight and durable designs using the construction of Flight Nylon. This has a lightweight feel and water-repellent feature, which is inspired by the classic MA-1 flight jackets.
