Hollis Backplate Back Pad

[HO@X]

I recently made a purchase for the elite 2 system, complete with s25 bladder, sta and backpad. I was surprised to find the new edition backpad are pretty thin and I can still feel the STA screws poking at my back.

Anyone know where I can find the older model which was well padded? I've been looking high and low for the old stock but to no avail.

Have you considered shortening the STA screws?

I have thought about it and even considered using a half inch screw but some how I feel more secure with the one inch screw

I assumed the screws were permanently attached to the STA (they are on my OMS) .
Given that, I'd just replace the screws and use a dab of Loctite or similar thread locker if your worried about the nuts loosening.

The screws come together with the STA when purchased as a set.

If all fails to find the older version of backplate backpad, then I'll try on something else maybe add some cushioning for some support. I've injuired my back before and having the pokey screws is a bit of a pain.

Anyone wanna sell me their older version of the backplate backpad?
