Too much of a Good Thing

[normblitch]

As simple as it sounds, I corrected the same problem by letting my shoulder straps out a couple of inches, which drops the whole rig down toward the (picture forrest gump here ;o) buttocks. No extra weight, no silly golf swing fixes, just about an inch of back plate at the cleft of the nates.

Now THIS sounds elegant...I'm assuming that the crotch strap is then snugged up in reaction to avoid ride-up?

I personally would not recommend this - once the harness is properly adjusted it should be left alone. Shoulder straps that are sliding all over the place are a CF.
One other question I have for you is how much do you arch your back? When you keep your back straight, it'll usually push your head down; however, if you arch your back it'll push your head. While it may seem somewhat uncomfortable at first, your muscles will get used to it.

Dre,

while I'm SURE that a b/p could be adjusted into the seemingly envogue lowrider look seen (sadly) on so many OW nuggets today, I think it MIGHT be possible that mine is, in fact, TOO high...If I try to tilt my head back to full "up" range of motion, I hit the limit switch formed by the valves, et al...
