>>211483The MOLLE comes with a sleep system carrier as the lower pouch. Is it detachable? yes. Doesn't really qualify as a smaller pack though, considering it's not really stand-alone capable for anything.
You want a detachable pack... let me introduce you to what I took a step up from MOLLE/ALICE to: Eberlestock Skycrane II. Pic related.
>>211598Ah. Yeah, I guess I'm "old enough" to not subscribe to the disposable concept, I like my shit to be bombproof and last me indefinitely or until I actually upgrade rather than having a MTBF of less than "Infinite when cared for" on gear I rely on.
