I'm not a technical diver. No yet anyway. However I enjoy using a harness/wing style BC because its just less "stuff" and Generally have more areas to hook things up and are more adjustable.
I have a diverite transpac with a diverite venture wing. The belt is XS/S and the shoulder straps are L/XL. This BC has dual tank straps. I have made a thread in the past and contacted Diverite regarding the tank sliding up and preventing me from leaning my head back without hitting the reg. I have adjusted the reg so all hoses are out of the way, but I'm hitting the reg itself.
I do use the crotch strap and don't have the shoulder straps too tight. I noticed I can slide the lower attachment point on the shoulder straps more towards the front of the harness, it's extremely difficult to get the nylon worked through there, but im wondering what affect it will have if I am able to get them to move forward.
I find even with the crotch strap snug the entire harness tends to still pitch foward, the shoulder straps going down and the rear of the BC going up.
I'm five foot eight and 165 pounds, if that helps.
