Särmä TST Sternum Strap

A simple 2-piece nylon strap to be used as sternum strap for anything with shoulder straps. Affordable and extremely handy. This 2-piece strap is about 50 cm / 20" at max length.

The advantages of a sternum strap are:

• Prevents your rucksack from flopping around
• Takes a bit of the weight off your shoulders if needed
• Prevents the shoulder straps from sliding off your shoulders

Of course attaching the sternum strap is made easier if your backpack already has loops on the shoulder straps. 25 mm width strap should pass through most loops.

Finnish MILSPEC materials

These are made from the very same materials as the Finnish army M05 combat equipment. The straps are high-quality polyamide webbing and all buckles are made by ITW Nexus. Everything is naturally MILSPEC stuff with necessary NIR reflecting capabilities etc.

Made in Estonia

These are made in Estonia by Finn-Savotta Oy, our subcontractor for all Särmä TST field gear. Materials are cut and prepared in Finland, assembled in Estonia. This is because of two reasons: first of all Finn-Savottas production schedules are so packed full of huge military orders that we'd have to wait months to get these sewn in Finland. The second thing is that this way we can cut the retail price by a third! Quality-wise these are the same as Savotta's Finnish sewn stuff, so no worries there.
