I was fitting a gal for a BP/harness the other day and I ran into a problem that I haven't encountered before...thought I'd ask if you guys/gals have seen this and what would you suggest as a remmedy.
BP was a standard OMS plate...I rigged it in the standard Hog manner...adjusted fit so that she could touch the top of the plate with her hand, etc. She went diving for the weekend...in a 3 mil...and came back complaining that the shoulder straps were digging into her arms.
I rechecked the fit...it looked good. But sure enough the outside edge of the shoulder straps on the front of the chest just below the D-rings were pushing into her upper arms...about where the deltoids overlap the biceps just anterior to the axilla...enough so that she had marks in the skin from her recent diving. This gal has very large breasts and perhaps the straps were being pushed a bit laterally...more than on most folks anyways. Any ideas on how to fix this? Anyone run into this before?
Thanks,
Stephen
