Backpack Chest Strap [2 Pack] Heavy Duty Adjustable Backpack Sternum Strap Chest Belt with 10 Pieces Zipper Pulls

I have an expensive Ogio backback and the chest strap broke after a couple of years. This replacement from Oziral worked perfectly! To install, I cut off the original leaving the plastic rings on either side. I took the Oziral strap apart and removed the loose ring. I attached the strap through the side rings and adjusted it to length. The strap was much longer than needed, so I simply cut off equal lengths on each side with sharp scissors, slipped them through the retention clip, and back through for a tidy look. After cutting, the strap, the ends started fraying a bit. To fix, I used a lighter to slightly and evenly melt the ends just like you would with a parachute cord. The straps look fantastic and aren't fraying anymore. Thanks Oziral for a great strap replacement that was fun and easy to install!

I purchased this in order to replace the chest strap on my hiking day pack as well as add 1 to a backpack diaper bag. It stays perfectly in place on the day pack but slides down on the diaper bag backpack. I think this just happens because of the material of the backpacks. It's still helpful but I do plan on playing around to see if I can get it to stay in place so it's easier to clip when you need it.Lots of extra strap so it will fit a variety of people. Good quality. Serves its purpose

I bought it for use it as a waist strap for a new camera bagpack. Good construction and works fine. The zipper pulls are very helpful.Came 2 straps and the10 zipper pulls.

I think this product can be successful if want to spend the time to sow the chest straps to the backpack if you do not have a vertical daisy loop to latch onto. I tried to make a minimal impact on the backpack. This is a Patagonia Arbor (Smithfield) Roll Top Backpack for point of reference. This backpack (less technical) did not come with chest straps nor do I think it was meant to have straps. The shaped backpack straps will make it easier for the chest straps to slide. It is not pictured here, but I clipped the carabiner clips to the chest strap and daisy chains together on a backpack strap to hold it in place. When actively using they are pretty solid and supportive. I saw other reviewers show a clean break of the clip, I believe that sun or structural stress will quickly deteriorate the strength of the clips. The zipper pulls (not pictured) are helpful, but not necessary. Other observations, I would not use the D clips to hang stuff on because If you didn't sow it right or secure it would just pull the chest straps down or rip them off your backpack. The straps themselves can easily be pulled to be loosened, better straps would require you to angle the straps to give more slack to be loosened. Overall, decent value for the price you pay.

This product is amazing. I had bought a new backpack recently and then a shoulder injury made wearing a backpack really strenuous. I thought I’d have to get another backpack but this product saved me so much money. I have to wear a backpack everyday for work and it saved me more than money, but strain and pain. I’m so thankful that someone made this product. It’s so useful and a lifesaver. I don’t love that the straps hang loose but I’ve cut them short and used a lighter to singe the loose threads to make it look neat.

The zipper pulls are awesome! Though, if traveling in a dodgy area with potential pickpockets, don't have zipper pulls - Do however use the chest strap! The straps are super easy to put on and are a great backpack upgrade. Unfortunately I left my backpack on the car while I drove off and it got run over by cars several times so I'll need to buy this again. Learn from my mistakes!

This has to be the worst sternum strap I've ever used for a couple reasons.1- it won't stay tight. At all. Even tried rolling up the excess strap, but the "tension" buckle releases the moment pressure is put on it.2- it won't stay in place. Even when it's cinched down to the point of pinching the shoulder straps (which would also cause wear and tear to the bag's straps themselves) it will inevitably release the moment the bag is take off, and then fall to the bottom of the strap as seen in the picture.3- the strap is thin and will cut into you, and the buckle is flimsy plastic which will break with little use.I'll be returning this and finding a better one.

Added this to 3 of my backpacks and it works great.
