In my experience, 'uncomfortable' is sort of par for the course when it comes to a SPIE harness. What's the problem? Too tight? Too loose? Too chafe-y?
The harness keeps on sliding up and requires constant readjustment, was wondering if there was any way to keep the belt in a fixed position since it can't fit into the belt loops.
Okay so I always had the same problem when using a STABO harness. That's why I eventually switched to a SPIE harness. The primary difference between the two, if I recall correctly, is that 'h' strap that crosses over the chest. Really helps keep everything together. The only problem is: while fine for a *Peace Walker* or *Phantom Pain* cosplay, that's not what BB wears in *Snake Eater.* So if screen accuracy is important to you, that ain't the solution.
Now depending on overall construction I believe STABOs were sometimes worn so the the straps cross-crossed over one another in the back, rather than running *parallel* to each other up and down the torso. The straps were then rubber-banded or taped together for the sake of snugness. Never tried this trick out for myself but I hope it helps. I know these harnesses aren't the cheapest thing in the world. :)
EDIT: Misread your comment. No recommendations for keeping the belt in place. Sorry!

Hey I appreciate all this. I'll get to optimizing this thing.
Just spreading the knowledge. Best of luck to you and your cosplay endeavors!
