Thanks to all who responded with advice. One good thing about DIR is that someone else has always had my problem previously so I can get the benefit of someone else's pain and expense (usually). I'm going to: * Use thicker webbing * Use Serrated retainers * Use bicycle inner tube on the wear spots * Mark the webbing with a silver marker so I can tell if the strap has shifted.

I tried a prototype plate with soft webbing and no matter what convoluted way i rearranged it at the waist, it wouldn't stay put. I replaced it with the usual stiff webbing ASAP.
