My question really boils down to this. Do you see any issues with having the pad sleeve and actual pad over the hipbelt (just like GG) when using a winged hipbelt instead of full wrap?The wings will be attached 5″ apart at the center of the pack like the below photo.
More info on build for context:
I’m building somewhat of a Gorilla/Mariposa cloan but in X-PAC. However, I plan to run the stays along the outside of the pack. I will be putting in two mesh sections for pad pockets, nearly identical to GG and the stays will run right into sleeves on the back of the hipbelt. My question really boils down to this.
