Ave Crispus,<br>
<br>
I have examined the photos in conjunction with your descriptions, but I'm mostly working off your text. I can see some of the different designs in the "siesta" shot. You will also find that with the shield cover in place, on the few occasions it does touch your leg, it's protected. I like your idea of having the main buckle on the BACK strap heading up from the handle over the shoulder, this would greatly improve the ratchet action. I also find that I just grab the bottom edge of the shield and shove it into position, which helps. I also agree the torso strap buckle strap needs to be quite short, giving easier front access. I'm not clear on your description of the quick release, or the handle straps. You have a buckle on each end of the main shoulder strap to attach it to the handle? Does this mean 5 buckles total- 1 main buckle, 2 attachment buckles, 1 torso buckle, and 1 quick release buckle?<br>
