I added 2 D-rings to the harness (below the upper D-rings) and tied the bladder to them. Then tied the lower portion of the bladder to D-rings on the horizontal (waist) harness.

It feels MUCH better this way. Before I did that, 1 of 2 things happened: 1) people were telling me after pool sessions that the bladder was far away from my back; 2) i shortened the horizontal bungies (across the chest) and felt pain after a while.

It worked for me and might work for other people.

Cheers!
 
I have in the past had great discomfort due to using both a crotch strap and a crotch bungee on the stealth 2.0.

Then I found this monkey knot idea and think I have improved it. I left my working crotch bungee attached (it always had 2 knots in it for multiple tightness settings so just ignore those) but turned it into a monkey knot using a zap strap / zip tie. If I cut that zip tie, my knot just unfolds into how the crotch bungee was designed. So much comfier, but with some redundancy if I want to undo it.

Look at the picks, let me know what you think!
