Skunk, lots of ski and backpacking shops ( try Ski Chalet) offer repair services. There is also a gear customizer listed in Doug's retail list. I would suggest loading it with the gear you intend to carry during adjustments. Don't feel bad: I wear a 34x40 jeans ( extra long so they don't climb up my leg on horseback.) I was informed at several places " nobody wears that size! " This nobody took his nowhere $$$$ to a place that sold to nobodies ;O)
