I figured that could be the reason, like with the various ways soldiers find to carry their rifles more comfortably, but I just don’t understand the physics of it here. Pulling on a backpack straps, I get, you are basically offloading the weight from your back and into your arms (and, as you said, bringing it higher to make it a little more comfortable to wear), but here it looks like it would just strain your neck and possibly your back even more since there are plates on both sides (which I assume is the heaviest, most “problematic” parts of the vest regarding comfort).
Guess I need to wear some body armor to understand it, physics and biomechanics do be weird sometimes.
I can’t explaining it honestly, just like I use to put my arms in thru the arm holes so the armor carried my arms. Just depends on what is uncomfortable and want to rest. Lol.
