help with spray skirt for coho

hello everybody,

I'm trying to match a spray skirt to my coho.

I tried "harmony" large. the size of the cocpit is fine, but the size of the torso is way too big,

so I tried the "harmony" medium. same cocpit, but the torso fits me. the problem is the location of the torso on the skirt, it's located to much to the front, so if I bend a little backward, it opens. so it doesn't work. it takes in loads of water.

I figured I could go on & on until "someday" I'll find the right connection between me & my kayak (sparay skirt), or..... I could ask for your help.

I was hoping to get a skirt without shoulder straps, but I'm begining to think I'm wrong, because I realised nothing will keep the skirt up like shoulder straps, & keeping it up is the best seal.

any help appreciated
