When it comes to backplate/webbing tightness, with just the bare plate on your back, you should be able to touch the top of your plate with your fingers with your exposure suit on, and be able to pull the webbing off your shoulder when you bend forward 90 degrees at the waist. If you can 'chicken wing' your way out of the harness (put your hand back through the harness to take it off) then it is too loose.

HTH,

Chris
