The padding was mostly an exploration in trying to work out why the fuck you'd need a frame bag to have padded walls(!?) I really can't think of a good reason for it - if you're using a frame bag it's because you wanna bounce around on bumpy stuff at some point right? If you're bouncing around on bumpy stuff, why would you put something delicate loose in a bag so it bounces around with everything else in said bag?
I don't get it.
And I blame capitalism making dickheads with money think they need their frame bags padded because well, yours isn't...
Anyhow, won't be doing it again and have reinforced a strong opinion on the topic :)
Nope! If it were a full frame bag I'd do something, but bags this size I find last and last if you use half decent fabric and threads and don't overcomplicate them. If you take care, the zip will fail way before any of your stitching.
