Just got a Jam 50 and the foam pad seems to be a bit too long and too wide. The pad is slightly long so the insert sleeve top won't close with the Velcro fold over, and it's wide at the wings so the pad's bottom wrinkles a bit. Anyone have this issue before? Thought I'd ask if I'm missing something here before I start cutting.

Get a ruler and sharp kitchen scissors, take your time. It cuts easily.
