This pack would be great for my current needs (love all the MOLLE and Mystery Ranch adjustable yoke), except I know that bare webbing waist belt is going to dig into my sides if I'm not wearing many layers and I am carrying a decent load any distance. Has anyone had this pack or one with similar waist belt and was the waist band that bad?
Anyone add padding to a bare webbing waist belt before?

One link mentioned padded seat belt covers. I emailed Mystery Ranch asking for the width of that webbing belt so I can start the MacGyver-ing process. Body glove makes neoprene seat belt covers. Those would be waterproof, add padding, and if they are bare neoprene would likely grip my clothing and keep the waist belt from slipping down. I don't know how hard sewing neoprene by hand is (afraid the thread will pull through) but I might be able to get non-coated (no cloth covering) neoprene of good thickness and just make some sleeves that slide on.
Any experience or ideas are welcomed.
Thanks!
