: Jim,
: Thanks for the info. I'm going to go at it with a Columbia pack I have in
: surplus. It's got webloops all over the place, so holdback attachment will
: be no problem. I'm mostly doing it 'cause I can't bring myself to use the
: stock Pygmy backband, having a place for all the cockpit flotsam is a nice
: bonus.

: BTW, Nice work on the Merganser and Cirrus. Nice site update, too.

Thanks, Dan! A block of minicell just under the pack/band or a slight extension on a carved minicell seat pad would do the trick to keep it at the proper height, then you just need to bungie it to hold it's shape.
