Velcro Dividers in Lowepro Backpacks

mr peas

I just recently bought a used Lowepro backpack, 'Orion Trekker I'. Its in really good condition. However, I'm missing the 5-piece vlecro dividers in the bottom. The person I bought it from couldn't find them and I'm pretty much left with a pack with an empty bottom. ;(

So I was wondering, do any of you know where I can possibly purchase new/used velcro dividers? I was going to make my own, it wouldnt be hard, a quick trip to the linen store and some sowing would solve my problem. However, I am feeling very lazy at the moment, haha.

Here's a photo of the dividers it was suppose to come with:



Anyone have any other ideas?

Did you ask the seller where they went???

Call Lowe Pro....I am sure they will accomodate you......They are really nice over there.

I'll give them a call tommorow and send them an e-mail tonight.

My seller just couldn't find them. The price was still too good, it was around $25 only and the pack was in really good condition. A quick wash made it smell better than new.

If anything I'll make a custom divider set to specifically fit my camera and get a partial refund from my seller. But if I can find replacement pads from the dealer or from someone else, that would save me a bit of trouble.

I have asked them all sorts of "dumb" ?'s and they always send a quick and curteous reply.....like how to I figgure out which pack I own.....it took to emails from them to guide to to a teeny tiny black label under the straps for me find out the bigma I pack around is a pro-trekker.....next to largest.....I had had it so long I forgot what it was called and someone wanted to know to be able to work around it for carry on for planes.....It worked for me 3 yrs ago...bur now LP has removed the airplane symbol from it on their site.....

Nice DIY project?
If you have a sewing machine and know how to operate it, it would take you less than an hour to create it. Just go to any crafts store and pick up some foam, some fabric and some Velcro (well, some threads, too:-). In fact, they may even let you use their machines in case you don't have one... Total material cost could be less than $10...

Maury from Lowepro gave me a price of $18 shipped for the 5-pieces. I don't know about you, but thats a grip of money for some padding. I think I'll hold off for now and take a trip to the crafts/linen store and see what kidn of fabric they have available that will match the bottom compartment. Time to get that partial refund ):
