This is a great piece of kit that is sadly 90% refined. I had my own mods done to it to finish it out. It’s such a shame because it is so close to being something really niche that fills a market void. Just needs a touch more refinement. That being said, I use it daily and have come to really love it after modding it.
Curious as to what you did?
+2 curious ? as well
Hey Ray,
Thanks for the feedback. We’re proud of our American made gear. What did you modify?

Where does one start…
Please start. It seems like the manufacturer is asking direct feedback from someone who is supposedly a real live end user with actual real live experience with the product in question.

I’m not Ray, but on mine I had to remove and resew the velcro on both the shoulders and the cummerbund. I moved the cummerbund velcro halfway out and I moved the shoulder velcro back. It almost seemed like it was designed for a strangely shaped person, as I consider myself average-sized.
I am happy to report from experience that FirstSpear is incredibly good at listening to customer feedback. But the trick is they actually have to receive customer feedback.
