I don't think you'll find it's
most people. Quite a few I grant but
most are pretty standard.
The problem is to make the counterlungs come down nice and snug, hence the second, smaller 'pull to tighten' straps. Now I admit I've dumped the chest strap (chop!) and I've had the waist pinch clip pop open twice so that is likely to go for a weight belt style buckle sooner rather than later but to change the whole harness doesn't appeal to me at the moment. I do like the pull to tighten on the shoulder straps, that makes getting in much easier. It's not like a hog rig where you are just sliding into the webbing. You have the CLs to negotiate.
Now if you had asked "Has Martin got shares in Velcro plc?" that would be a different matter.
