I noticed that Hyperlight Mountain Gear came out with an improved version of the pack this year. Can anyone who has the new pack comment on the improved hipbelt? I purchased my 3400 Southwest last summer. I'm wondering if it would be possible to ship it back to HMG to have the hipbelt replaced with the new model and/or whether it would be worth my while. The 2013 hipbelt isn't bad, but the pockets are near impossible to access one handed with the pack on, and the hipbelt doesn't wrap around my hips quite as far as I'd like. It's not terrible, but an extra inch or two on each side would be nice. For reference, I have a size 30 waist and have the SMALL size pack.
