Yeah, I haven't had to hump anywhere with the new ones. Played with them and there are some features I like about them, but they weren't too comfortable. I didn't have a vest on though and that can make a world of difference. My buddies said they like them even better than the old ones, but like you said for the price the ILBEs are EXCELLENT BOB/survival/hiking systems.When I first got to TBS, we were issued these (ILBE). We did about 2 short humps with them, then we turned them in and were issued the new FILBE. While the new pack has some advantages while wearing a plate carrier (body armor), this older ILBE being liquidated is very comfy to wear just on your clothes. It'd be great for a serious BOB or hiking pack.
I'm in. Quantity depends on final price and if "we" win the auction.
