Thanks!

Retro-fitting is not recommended. With this type of device, follow the instructions so it doesn't get ripped off your pack.

Most people retro-fit them to one of their back pack straps and everything works just fine... The "lung" needs to be able to be next to the snow to diffuse or capture oxygen... So if your pack covers it thats no good...
