Osprey suggests custom molding to be done only at CM Certified™ dealers*. You can check out more information and can also look-up your local hot box locations at: http://www.ospreypacks.com/PackTech/CustomMolding/ If you live in the Salt Lake City area, you can have your belt custom fit at the BC.com retail location.
