I've read all the web pages how to set them up and I've got mine fairly comfortable. I have a few questions regarding the shoulder straps. I am using a hog harness and I've read that an easy preliminary test is to see if you can fit a fist between the straps and your shoulder and also 2/3 fingers from another source. My problem is that when I have it loose enough to fit 3 fingers the plate cannot be touched by reaching back over my shoulder. I'm wondering if it is my lack of flexibility or perhaps I'm doing something wrong. It seems the looser the shoulder straps the lower the plate would be and that seems to be the case with me. So how are you guys getting the requisite shoulder strap clearance w/o having the plate drop down too low? I don't want to have it too tight but I've read that it is loose enough when you can rotate your shoulders and it pretty much falls off. I'm not there but close enough where I think I can wiggle my shoulders out of the straps as I rotate my shoulders back. I'm a bit more muscular than average so this may be part of the issue but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for any input.
