Hi just got a new petzl sequoia what the best way to set it up as i keep tippijg back?

It might just be that you are not accustomed to the different centre of gravity these harnesses have. What was your previous harness?

Never seen or heard of this problem but perhaps putting and extention on your bridge to your climbing rope like a long prussik loop or taped sling might help you stay more upright

On harnesses with adjustable bridges, shortening the bridge can change the center of gravity and make it feel like you are tipping backwards. Not sure the sequoia is adjustable though thinking about it

I don't mean to be rude, but you might need to change your climbing style. I've had a few harnesses over the years and each one has been different for the way I climb. The central anchor (whether it's sliding or fixed) position can affect people differently. Can't help with the petzl as it didn't agree with me when I tried it. I'm probably speaking absolute shite as I've had a few, but it's just my thoughts
