Full description

Nothing fancy, just a decent 25 mm wide sternum strap with a side-release buckle. Easy to attach almost anywhere, easy to open, easy to close, easy to adjust.

This is a spare part or accessory for those who have a pack without a sternum strap or want to switch to a more robust one. Installation is very easy: loop the webbing ends around your packs shoulder pads or attachment points on them, then loop the webbing back through the tri-glide buckles and do a u-turn to lock them in place.

Why no elastic section? Because those really don’t do much good, when you tighten the sternum strap you stretch out the elastic and that’s it then, it won’t stretch any more. Also those tend to wear out pretty fast, losing any elasticity they could have.

Why not just 20 mm wide? Because a 25 mm side-release buckle is considerably easier to use, especially with thick winter gloves on.

Why not a split-bar slider buckle for attachment? This low-tech system can be used with pretty much any shoulder strap, universal!

bought it to upgrade an old Rika from the 90s. Seems to work but I haven't tested it thoroughly

Feels solid but the material is not very comfortable to touch.
