That's the case with anykind of suit really. A good suit will pull you forward if your technique isn't down pat. Loosening the straps helps, but as the weight gets heavier you will want to tighten the straps. Right now my poly suit is just enitrely to tight, I'm around 20lbs heavier then what I was when I was using it. I get more out of the canvas suit anyways.
