| Ok as you may know I have a OEtech plate carrier with cummerbund
I've just now started to wonder why its bouncing.
It only bounces when i run of couse, its not annoying its just weird aren't plate carriers supposed to stay in one spot? | |

| It should have some fasters for you to tighten...if it doesnt you can try to sew on some loops in the inside that you can clip into a belt with D rings or somthing. | |

| Have you taken the vest apart yet? You can adjust the plate carrier tighter with the shoulder straps, and the cummerbund tighter with the adjustment straps in the back. You need to take the vest apart to find the straps.

| yeah, theres is either going to be retention straps made from cordura, or a length of steel cable. Tighten it from there.

| Pull the section of cord after the button clamp outward. That will tighten your vest.
