Buckles and velcro are backward ...
I like it, but it's designed really badly.  I want to pin my shoulders back but when I tighten the straps all the way the buckle sits right in the crease of my arm and shoulder.  It pinches like crazy and hurts like hell.  The straps are designed and built backward or up-side-down.  The buckle should move down and away from the shoulder to get tighter, not upward.  If it weren't for the buckles, I'd love it.<br /><br />Also, there should be a strap that goes horizontally from the front of the shoulder strap to the mid-back.  A strap that crosses the upper arm.  That would really pull the shoulders back rather than the way this is designed, it actually pulls between the clavicle and the shoulder rather than the actual shoulder, or it should have shoulder cups.<br /><br />I can sew, so maybe I'll tear this thing apart and redesign it properly.<br /><br />One more thing, I'm very athletic but the belly part is a bit too small and the shoulder part is a bit too big.  Oddly, being fit and athletic makes it hard to find clothes and apparel that fit properly.  It's a shame that most things are made for the pear-shaped person.  Not this though, this is backward from that.<br /><br />Finally, the waist strap has the male or rough side of the velcro facing the body and the female or soft side facing outward.  That means that if you don't cover all of the male velcro it digging and ripping into your clothes or even worse ... your skin.
