Eberlestock Large Belt..Padding Length???

[hammer0419]

Interested in purchasing the Eberlestock MOD frame. Like most Mass manufactured backpacks. The stock belt is sized for the thinnest of men. So I know that will be tossed in the garbage. They also offer a large belt. I was hoping someone on here has one and could measure how long the padding is on it. The other problem with these pac-manufacturers as they just give you a measurement of how long the webbing of the belt can go to fit. Which does a person no good. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I grabbed the new belt and longer shoulder straps for my MOD frame . It looked like the new belt had a couple of inches more padded length but I'll measure and report back .

I'm hoping the larger belt will make a difference. The stock belt is meant for kids and extremely skinny adults. Unfortunately I'm neither one of those.

I did not order the shoulder straps. Hoping I do not have to. That's the one thing that sucks about these Box Store packs. If you need something for them you have to buy it separate. Then you're stuck with crap you don't even need.

FYI the Exo K4 belt comes in multiple sizes and slides right into a Mod frame or Mainframe - shoulder strap lowers on the belt match right up to uppers. Like it was made for it. I use the Large K4 belt on my Mod frame and used to use it on my Mainframe.
