Can I use other front panels with the Daeodon UNI? 

Yes, the front panel attaches via the Tegris hinge system and allows for panel swaps. You can lock the hinge ends for a more secure fit, or leave them unlocked for quick changes. However, we recommend sticking with the purpose-built panels for the best experience. 

Is padding included for the shoulder straps on the Esstac Daeodon UNI?
