I recently got a bp/w rig and I am having a little trouble with the fit. I have been using this guide to adjust the fit of the harness DIR-diver.com - Adjust the backplate
My issue though is that when I have the bp positioned and the harness adjusted the way this guide shows, I can't reach my valve on my single tank without loosening the waist strap and pushing on the bottom of the bp.

I have an STA that makes the tank stick out away from my body. I'm thinking this might be the reason why I can't reach. I'm not very flexible either. Is there something I can do to correct this?

While I'm here can anyone recommend a good single tank wing? I've heard good things about the halcyon but I'm wondering if it's just about the brand that everyone seems to like them.

This is a good and reasonable question.
