Thanks for the fast feedback Joseph! Here's some updated photos to address your requests. I've raised the belt to rest higher on my waist. Thankfully with the combination of velcro and snaps, this was easy to adjust. Also, great catch on the forearm return edges. I still needed to do that, but also something simple. I've provided an example shot of an "in-progress" adjustment. Where you can see one of the fore-arms without the return edge and one with... then a final image that shows both complete... then one with me wearing the fore-arms with my gloves.
See images below:
