Waist Belt Add-On

Does anyone know of a product that can add a waist belt to a convertible bag with hidden back straps? Perhaps with clips that go the same place the bottom back straps get clipped on to? (You can check out the Ebags weekend convertible to see what I mean.)

I know many of you die hards will say go buy a proper bag. But we're talking about a 16-18 pound bag that is going to be carried on my back at airports, train stations and in and out of hotels. Not walking the entire Cinque Terre in one afternoon. Thanks

We were recently at the ETBD store and lamenting because a certain bag didn't have back back straps. Another customer suggested finding an old pack cutting the straps off and taking it all to a cobbler to have them sew the straps on to make it a back pack.

I am sure this approach could work for you. The Good will etc.. always has old external frames maybe you can find one with an old but good condition waist belt.
