Yeah, I’m slow as hell. Just getting back to working on my first prototype.

Is it necessary or worthwhile to pre-curve a hipbelt so that the fabric on the inside doesn’t bunch up when you bend it around you?

I’m using 1/2″ foam (from OWC). I got the idea of pre-curving it from a One Planet video (at 4:00).

And, if so, how do you pre-curve it?
