I'm no newbie to ar's but I am in tactical gear. Just got my first 2 Chest rigs. I picked up that low profile chest rig from SKD and the Molle rig beside it. Both fit comfortably and SKD's service was top shelf.  

First thing I notice is how slippery those shoulder straps are. My rifle naturally sits in my shoulder pocket; but now there's a strap there.

How do you experienced shooter deal with this?

I was thinking maybe sew some leather on outside of strap, something to give it grip.

I'm lucky there is a lady close by who sews upholstery and can alter my tactical gear , she already repaired my range bag.

Get a rubber "recoil" butt pad for your rifle, or put some dabs of silicone on either the butt or the straps.  That will be tacky enough when dry to end the slippage.

You could always sew the a patch of rougher material to the strap in that area, I had the smae problem with an Eagel Rig until i bought some of Sjaunches improved straps on the EE.
