If you have it properly adjusted, it is no problem. I installed some stops on the webbing were the waist portion go's through the backplate to retain the adjustment of the sholder straps. And I think you mean tight enough for support but loose enough for comfort. You need to experiment (in a pool would be best) to find the right balance. At one point I was missing the chest strap of the original "delux" harness, but found that I just did not have the rig adjusted right. The idea of having a one piece webbing is to eliminate failure points, which it does. If modifying your rig involves cutting it and installing cockrings and other failure points, I think that you are pretty much labeling yourself and don't need any help from the audience.
