Of course everyone will do what's best to there comfort.. Like sylian did I could got away without the endo, but it does add more support and strength:
I have heard how this way cut's into you so Ill post how in doing it I think it will work very well..

Re: Templar 40K Space Marine 7' Full Size WIP
One thing you can do to prevent the straps from cutting into you is to go with wider straps. I can wear my harness for Snake all day, even with every pouch loaded to the gills (about 30lbs with a full canteen), and that uses 1.75" straps.
Edit: Also, going with a modified version of a modern load bearing harness may help, too. Take a look at how SPIE harnesses are made. The crossover at the back and sides help with distributing the load over your entire torso, and not just the tops of your shoulders.

If you have any significant load on your shoulders, you're asking for problems. The best approach is to put the majority of the load into your hips, much like hiking/military backpacks. Shoulder straps should just be there to spread the load.
That being said, professionals use SFX harnesses.

Re: Templar 40K Space Marine 7' Full Size WIP
yes, The straps are too thin was a good try 30Lbs not costume related, But 2 - 50lb duffle bags one front one on back a M16 and a 50cal laying on the front duffle bag pray you didn't have to run didn't want to do that every day.
I can manage this set up it will have quick release I have done a few set ups see how to wear some tight fits I myself have side zip up boot once attached to the stilts should prove to be an easier setup to put on.. more to follow
never seen a SFX harness did look up those they seem to be just harness straps. a good way to go is a Load Bearing Suspenders/Harness. I have a way I'm trying to see if it works or fails lol I thought of a few options figured weight, size, bulky, thin, see a quick simple way if all goes good Ill post if not will go with this harness..
Thank for your help guys :thumbsup

Re: Templar 40K Space Marine 7' Full Size WIP
I created a harness with 2" nylon straps and used foam as a sort of padding over the shoulders. Seems to work pretty well. I also bought a harness similar to the one above, but its awfully heavy for this project. Might save it for my next project.
