MARS (MOLLE II OCP Rucksack and frame with FILBE harness)
When life hands you lemons, we here at Mission Fit Kit make vodka lemonade!
The MARS (Modified Advanced Ruck System – a trademark of MFK) was initially conceived when we bought a surplus lot that came with a dozen MOLLE II Operational Camouflage Pattern rucksack bags – no frame, shoulder harness, or hip belt. Since we endeavour to provide affordable, high quality, and complete gear solutions, our team sourced additional components, which improved on the initial design.
We sourced the matching rucksack frame in tan color. For the shoulder harness and waist belt, we sourced US Marines FILBE rucksack shoulder harness and waist belt, which are coyote brown in color, and benefit from thicker padding than the US Army counterparts and a metal quick-release buckle vs plastic ones. These have some light signs of wear, and some durable repairs may be present – all are inspected, and “good to go” quality. We also professionally fabricated new straps to link the shoulder harness to the bottom of the pack, with Milspec 17337 one-inch coyote brown webbing, and using the original ITW metal male buckle end.
The result is a more comfortable, robust tactical rucksack.

What is condition?
Mission Fit Kit uses a simple grading system for its inventory:
New Items– These are, as you might have guessed, new! They are manufactured by our trusted network of suppliers and are straight from the factory to our warehouse.
NOS – New Old Stock- These items were purchased by a military but never issued to troops and subsequently sold off to the public, due to the item being replaced or overstock. These may or may not have their original packaging, but are essentially brand new, with no signs of wear.
Grade 1– Items were issued, but it must have been to a POG (Person Other than Grunt), or a recruit who didn’t make it past the barracks before quitting. They show very little signs of wear, though they may have some imperfections. The items are serviceable as sold, with no need for repairs.
Grade 2– Items were issued, maybe to a grunt, or someone who has noticeably used them. They may need some slight but quick and inexpensive repairs, such as seam-sealing, using a patch kit for a pinhole leak in an air mattress, or sewing a few stitches on a garment. There are no significant repairs that someone with a bit of skill cannot perform. The cost of the items is adjusted in consequence, and doing these repairs yourself can help you adapt your kit list to incorporate some items you could use for field repairs. Mission Fit Kit will not sell items below a Grade 2 condition. We just won’t.
