Complete U.S. Marine Corps FILBE System | Coyote Brown
Own the ultimate in modern military load-bearing technology with the authentic U.S. Marine Corps Family of Improved Load Bearing Equipment (FILBE) Complete System. This is the current-issue standard for the USMC, replacing the older ILBE system. Designed to integrate with current body armor, the FILBE system is modular, scalable, and built to withstand the harshest combat environments on earth.
This massive set includes every major component of the system, from the 5,000+ cubic inch Main Pack and the versatile 3-Day Assault Pack to a full suite of sustainment and hydration pouches, a complete Chest Rig, and a Repair Kit. PLUS: This set includes the highly sought-after Mystery Ranch Sternum Cinch, a critical upgrade that stabilizes the shoulder straps over body armor.
The Ultimate Modular Loadout
The beauty of the FILBE system is its integration. The Assault Pack can be buckled directly onto the top of the Main Pack for long-haul movements. The sustainment and hydration pouches can be moved between packs or the chest rig depending on your mission profile. Whether you are hiking the Appalachian Trail, prepping for a bug-out scenario, or outfitting a tactical team, this system provides a solution for every load requirement.
