I have one in tact I'm moving the load lifter to the bottom position now, have a camping trip in a few days and will be using it with the combined patrol/day pack.
very cool!!! let me know how you make out on your trip......sorry about the delayed response....i'm new. thank you for your comment and i look foward to additional correspondence.
i didnt replace any padding that i can remember if you are looking for a newish cfp-90 i do see them come up on goodwill occasionally for not too much money hope this helps have an awesome day and thanks for the question
yes and no i should do an update vid it works great as long as you dont try and lift the pack by the straps between the "fix" and the conection to the top of the pack if that makes sense but walking and hiking now big deal works great just be aware of how you lift it thanks for he question have an awesome day
