The main goal behind all this is to easily tighten the shoulders while she is wearing it. Dive Rite and Hollis use 1.5" softer webbing for the adjustable portion on their harness. Standard BCD's look like they use seat belt webbing. Oxycheq is using standard stiff 2" webbing throughout. It does not easily slide through, making adjustment a 2 handed operation that cannot be done while wearing it.
The weight buckle on the shoulder option mimics the quick release, but does nothing for adjustment of the shoulders.
We are warm water recreational divers. Don't see too many divers using crotch straps. I use one. It doesn't bother me when people look at me funny. But I can understand her concerns. A crotch strap is not exactly the most feminine thing.
I've considered trying some softer webbing for my hog harness. I could use serrated tri-glides for the D-rings. I typically dive in a rash guard for warm water.
