First of all, the collarbone or clavicle runs from your sternum (breastbone) out to your shoulder along the top of your chest. If you are using a WV Platinum and this is exposed, you are wearing the WV too low!


Also, if you are very slim (my son is a prime example - a bean pole!) the WV Platinum may appear this way in a neutral position (standing). The correct way to look at it is to get into your normal calling stance and view it in the mirror. The WV usually rides up a bit when you are in your stance and that should cover the collarbone area just fine.

If this is still a problem, you may need help from someone (no, not that kind of help!) Have someone adjust the WV for you while you are in your stance and that should solve the problem.

See, it pays to have a little fat around you!

Regards
