I have had my Circuit for a couple of years now and I have 'personalised'/altered a couple things on it already to lighten it to suit my needs more and have 2 more things to go. 1 is making it a drawstring closure. Easy. The other is a little more difficult and I am asking if anyone had any experience is anything like this type of alteration:

The pack sits directly on the wearers back. I am however looking at altering it to have a webbing only contact on the back and the pack to sit off that like the Zpacks ArcBalst.

Anyone done this type of alteration or anything like it?

Ta for the hint.

I am SPECIFICALLY looking at altering the mesh so that the pack actually sits off the wearers back!!

I want to go from this:ULA CircuitULA Circuit

To this:

ZPacks ArcBlast

The Arc frame is made by bending two carbon fiber stays that sit on the outside of the pack, using cord and cordlocks attached to the mesh back panel.

The Circuit has one center stay, buried pretty far inside, so I am not sure this is feasible with some serious surgery on the pack.

You could sell the Circuit here and apply the funds to an Arc pack. Just got my Arc Haul to replace my old beat up Circuit, seems pretty nice so far. :)
