i love my weesatch but when im loaded up it seems to be very front heavy more so than my other tac vest; with the same load out. I understand that the weesatch is suppose to be over armor and maybe thats the problem. But im not talking about a a massive load only six ar mags and two pistol mags. Is there something i can do to balance it out? the vest really seem to move around when im running. Would the inhanced straps fix this problem?im in no way knocking this rig it sawesome but im trying to figure out a way to take up some of the slack in the rig for not wearing armor under it . Im not small , 6.2 210 im just use to a very snug fit of a tac vest.

are you wearing plates in it, if not there is a major problem contributor tight there.   Are you also wearing anything on back to counterbalance?

A hydration system would balance it out.

no im not wearing plates, i can see the issue there , but it was said that the vest is good even without plates.

it's specifically designed to carry plates. plates make a huge difference.
try eagle pc with cumberbund if you're not going to run plates.
hydro pack helps.....

And that's the game folks! Use to design specs and basic ergonomics.

Is it the newer version that you can cross-strap the back?
If so, lose the rear panel.
Maybe that could help a bit...?

If you have one of the later revisions of the Wee you'll notice that there is an extra set of strap loops on the side so that you can run it without the rear plate carrier as just a chest rig. If you aren't using plates this may be a solution. Balance will always be an issue. Even with both plates in I sometimes still get shifting.

I don't run plates in mine, but with a hydration system, it balances nicely.  Try that and get back with us.

plates and hydration carrier in the back will make a huge difference, but the enhanced shoulder straps from SKD are a must!  i just got a set for my Woosatch and will be getting another for my Weesatch.  it won't help with the front sagging from an uneven loadout, but it will insure that your straps stay where you set them, instead of slowly creeping out over time (i'm sure i'm not the only one to have that problem right?)
