I’ve tightened the lumbar strap as far as I can, I’d hate to feel my back if I relaxed the strap at all. I’ll have to check the corner straps to see if that makes any difference. With that said, the radial dial for lumbar support on the CT vantage or P.A. Seat would have been a welcome addition to the compass seat.

Can you upgrade to a vantage CT seat on a compass?

Based on my storage needs, I’m thinking I might end up getting a compass with a CT seat and a rectangular hatch like you’ve done.

Upgrading to the CT would not really be an option as it utilizes different mounting points......and it costs over $400

Bumping to see if anyone has had any other first hand experience with the Compass. Tried the Compass, Revo 13, and Outaback briefly. Torn between the Revo 13 and Compass, but leaning towards the Compass. Any positive input is appreciated. Thanks.
