<b>Thicker webbing</b> will do the job with any kind of weight belt
retainers......<br>
I just use silver or white marker to mark the webbing so if i have to<br>
adjust it or remove it to know where it was before........<br>
<br>
I never had any problem of " slowly creeping " harness .....<br>

inner tube in thirds overlapping one another as this makes it easier to

alone grab the webbing in your teeth and put a couple of chopsticks through
the bunchfolded inner tube...now pull apart the chopsticks with your hands
which stretches the btubing and allows you to pull it along the webbing
you are holding firmly in your mouth!when you have the inner tube in the
right position unfold the inner tube and stretch the rubber tightly along
the webbing then thread through the triglide...,the more stretch the better
as it threads easily and avoids any bunching...</span></font></div>

<br>
I have a problem with the webbing on my harness slowly creeping through
the<br>
weight belt retainers (two slot), resulting in one strap longer than
the<br>
other. The creep occurs and the bottom slot where the waist strap come
out<br>
of the plate.<br>
<br>
I dove out of a small boat. Donning the gear means sitting down,
getting<br>
into the gear then rolling over onto my knees before standing up. While
I am<br>
doing this, one strap is taking all the force and slipping (slightly).
<br>
<br>
The end result is unless I make sure the straps are reset before every
dive<br>
I end with the rig slightly skewed on my back which drives me nuts.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest a way to prevent webbing creep through the weight
belt<br>
retainers on my backplate.</blockquote>
<br>
You weaving it to the front of the plate? i.e. the waist straps coming <br>
forwards out of the outside slots?<br>
<br>
