USGI
Complete 6-Piece Tactical Web Gear & Canteen Combo Set - Used
The USGI
Tactical Web Gear & Canteen Combo Set is a classic, field-proven
load-bearing system modeled after the legendary ALICE (All-Purpose
Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) layout. Engineered for extreme
ruggedness, weight distribution, and outdoor utility, this complete 6-piece
configuration shifts the weight of your water and survival essentials from your
back onto your hips and shoulders, making it a favorite for long-range hiking,
hunting, bushcraft, and military reenactments.
By anchoring
the setup around a rigid tactical pistol belt and matching load-bearing
suspenders, you can comfortably carry heavy field gear over long miles without
fatigue. This budget-conscious combo integrates a hard-use 1-quart hydration
node alongside two universal utility pockets, creating a modular,
ready-to-deploy web layout.
Component
Breakdown & Specifications
1.
Heavy-Duty Individual Tactical Pistol Belt
- Construction: Woven from ultra-tough,
high-tensile MIL-SPEC ballistic nylon web.
- Design Features: Outfitted with a secure,
quick-release polymer buckle and dual rows of reinforced metal eyelets
along the entire perimeter. These eyelets accept classic ALICE slide
keepers as well as wire-hook attachments for securing canteen covers and
gear pouches. Fully adjustable for waist size.
2. H-Harness
or Y-Style Load-Bearing Suspenders
- Construction: Built with heavy-duty nylon
webbing straps and cushioned foam shoulder pads to prevent friction
hotspots under load.
- Design Features: Features four adjustable
spring-loaded steel snap-hooks that attach directly to the pistol belt
eyelets, transferring belt weight cleanly up to the shoulders. Includes
front-adjusting slider buckles and accessory d-rings.
3. 1-Quart
Kidney Canteen & Insulated Cover
- Canteen: A heavy-duty, impact-resistant
plastic water reservoir contoured in an ergonomic kidney shape to sit
flush against the flank line and stop swinging. Outfitted with a secure,
leak-proof threaded cap.
- Cover: Crafted from dual-layered woven
nylon canvas with an insulated fleece interior to shield your water
supply. Features dual heavy-duty metal closure snaps, a bottom
water-drainage grommet, and rear belt attachments.
4. Two (2)
Universal Compass / First Aid Pouches
- Construction: Made from a rigid, water-resistant
nylon fabric shell.
- Design Features: Features a secure front
snap-button flap. Originally designed by the military to house either a
lensatic navigation compass or an individual field dressing packet, these
two pouches mount directly to the front upper straps of the suspenders or
side-by-side on the pistol belt for immediate access to small sundries
(matches, fire-starters, or multi-tools).
System Setup
& Assembly Guide
To rig your web
gear for maximum field comfort:
- Size the Belt: Adjust the metal sizing hooks
inside the pistol belt so it fits snugly over your hips but has room for
winter layers.
- Anchor Suspenders: Attach the front two snap-hooks of
the suspenders to the front belt eyelets, and the rear clips to the back
of the belt. Cinch the adjustments until the shoulder padding sits
squarely on top of your trap muscles.
- Balance the Payload: Slide the nested canteen
onto the rear flank side of the belt (typically on the right hip). Balance
this weight by mounting the two compass pouches on the upper chest
loops of the suspenders or split evenly across the belt.
