A lot of it, I'm sure, has to do with body shape. And kilt construction. You prefer two-buckle kilts while I prefer three-buckle kilts. I do think the lower buckle, even if only loosely buckled, helps prevent slippage by providing additional contact below the top of the kilt. It conforms to my body shape more closely instead of merely hanging. I'm sure some "expert" will chime in soon enough to say that's all wrong, but for whatever reason, I just don't get kilt slippage on my tanks.
I can tighten it up to the point that I get no slippage, but it isn't comfortable. I agree that it could be a body shape thing because my kilt is wonderfully constructed.
