Ok, I'm an idiot. I've spent the last hour on the boards and countless more trying to figure this one out.
I'm setting up my BP/W. I have everything together but here's what happens:
I know from other BP/W divers that the shoulder straps should be fairly snug, but not tight, 2 or 3 fingers worth of slack. But the belt should be tight, or, at least tighter than the shoulder straps. Cool. But, when I tighten up the belt, it also tightens up the shoulder straps. It's an Apeks BP and their web kit. I put the tri-bars on the webbing on the back of the plate to keep the shoulders from tightening up, but eventually they somehow slip through, making the whole rig out of whack, shifting to one side.
I know I'm missing something obvious, so be nice,
