Redesigned with a stronger buckle and 1/4" wider webbing to better disperse heavy loads.
Keeps your rucksack secure without constricting breath or movement and is adjustable by the MOLLE on the straps. Example: While doing burpees, you may want it a little tighter. While on the move, a little looser. Easy adjustment, on the fly.
While rucks are made to be worn high on the back, Training Sternum Straps can provide reduced jarring and tumbling of your rucksack. Adding a Training Sternum Strap can also change the way weight is dispersed across your chest and shoulders. This added line across the body allows for a quick carabiner clip-in point, too.
Removable and adjustable, Training Sternum Straps attach via clasps to the MOLLE webbing on the shoulder straps of a rucksack for additional stabilization.

Training Straps
"I like ðð¾"
— Tony E. (5/5)
Easy to install, heavy duty
"Easy to install, heavy duty and solid, definitely worth the money to add it on my GR1 EDC bag."
— Aaron A. (5/5)
This should be standard, not a paid accessory
"Completely changed the way my Basic Rucker wears from falling off my shoulders to comfortable. So it works great! . . . But that raises the obvious point that this should be standard issue and not an accessory that costs $20 after shipping. This is shades of Apple nickel and diming folks for charging cords. Other backpacks have this standard."
— Chris C. (4/5)

It is a serum strap
"Standard go ruck quality, completely bomb proof. A proper challenge to install with one hand ( as I only have one ) . Absolute necessity, in my opinion."
— Chris I. (5/5)
