For those that own a CRUZR XC, just wearing light clothing (Jeans, camo, etc.), if you close the bridge as far as it will close, is the waist nice and snug, or even tight?
I have a medium and while playing around with it in the basement I tried this and was surprised it was not really snug (or able to get tight) on my waist. I have a medium.
 
I rely on the actual waist belt to get it snug, not the bridge, which doesn’t quite tighten down enough to sit tightly on my 32/33” waist. Also, the AustriAlpin buckle I replaced the stock waist buckle with seems to hold in place much better.
 
Your waist belt is tightened down all the way and it still isn't snug fitting? I wonder if you might need a size smaller? I have the size 2 for a 32"-38" waist and carry 2 full dump pouches and it didn't sag. Just tuck the bridge in your waist belt and it'll prevent it from hanging up or flopping around on the way in.
 
No the actual waist belt can get very tight. I am a 33-34 waist, 5'10" and 155 lbs. (slim build, skinny butt and legs). The CRUZR seems big (baggy) so been wondering if I got a size too big.
 
I’ve noticed I can’t get my medium XC pulled up over my legs and butt if the bridge is all the way tight. I’m 5’ 11” and about 200 with a 32” waist, but always have to buy a 33-34” waist in jeans so they’re not tight in the thighs and butt. That being said, when the bridge is tight with the saddle actually on, it’s not tight on my waist. I have no problem cinching the belt, though. My only complaint is how much tag end I have left on the belt when it’s cinched all the way down.

I am a 35 waist and mine cinches down perfect. To keep the loops out of the way. I’d be happy to trade a little slack for a 33” waste again.
 
I dont understand why you want the bridge tight. Its not supposed to be. I use the waist band to secure the saddle not the bridge. The bridge i pull snug and drape the end over my pouch so it stays up and out of the way next to me.

Instead of stepping into the saddle,, loosen the bridge, unhook all the other straps and bring your Cruzr over your shoulders. I saw this on a youtube. And i tried it. It is so much easier to put on. HTH, good hunting!
