I was thinking about my butt today
and had an idea..
The custom made "Engine" waist harnesses are getting a good wrap because they are moulded to fit and work well.
And then theres that subject that subject that no one really likes to admit to - with the classic seat harness...
'The Starfish Effect' 
My fix for the Wedgie
Have an insertable plate that could be fitted from the top of the harness with velcro inside to attach.
Make it a curved butt shape with a bit of flex, and also trim-able imprints like shoe innersoles to allow for personal comfort...
This support plate would stop the straps from sliding towards your starfishy ha ha as it does eventually...
And everybodys happy
What do you think ???

That's called a hybrid harness! It's higher than the seat harness and more comfortable, as it doesn't ride up or restrict your movement. Try it and you'll never look back!

Ocean Rodeo Session II and I think the Jay/Dynabar harness can be hybrided... although those use a regular waist harness and leg straps to keep them down.
