Impressing! Where you using the SS together with the torso pad and kidney pad?

just wanted to thank you all for the input. Im definetly going for the SS first and the jrb nest some other time when i have all that cash. Im anxiously waiting totest the ss.
one more question, though... Is the ocf not easily found? How dificult would a DIY OCF pad be, Or DIY kidney and torso pads? Only concern i have for the ss now is that the pad wont be wide enough. how to expand the temp range is not a concern, got myself alreeady a SB, but maybe aDIY O_CF pad would also help on this aspect.
again, thank you.

Easily found? I think they( basic OCF pad) are still readily found at the HH site, although I'm not sure about the additional kidney/torso pad. You may have more luck calling to ask about them, if you don't see them on line at the HH site.

If you have the Explorer model, that pad is 35" wide vs (I think) 28 or 29" wide for the ULBP model. I have always found the wider one plenty wide enough, don't know about the more narrow one.
