YYST One Backpack Waist Belt Backpack Waist Strap Universal Fit with Buckle - Black

Looks like it will work for me. Easy to install and decent construction.

I'm larger than the wasit straps on the Osprey Farpoint $40 can accommodate. I contacted Osprey and they actually said they would custom make a larger waist strap and ship it to me all for free. AWESOME!!. Problem is that it's a custom job and the straps won't arrive for 5-7 weeks. That is after my planned trip and I needed something sooner. The straps fit perfectly, and accommodated my rotund stomach with straps to spare.

This does the job but there are lots of straps and buckles, and it's impossible to get them all to work as they are supposed to. You can just tie things together, but then you land up with various strap ends floating around and very messy.Overall I've concluded that if you just want a chest-strap for a day pack, not for serious hiking, you're better off with a bungee cord. Get the right length, tie it around one should strap, and interlock the two plastic hook ends around the second strap and hooking each other. Does the same job, much less hassle. You just need to arrange everything carefully so that the hard plastic hook parts line up against a part of your body that is flesh, not bone.

I purchase this with hopes that it would shift the weight of a ski boot bag off of my shoulders and on to my hips. It does do that; however, since it attaches to the shoulder straps it pulls on them. I have a dislocated shoulder so I'm super sensitive to the weight. As a result, this didn't work for what I needed. If all you need is to pull the bag in and help distribute the weight, it should work for you. I gave it a 4 since it does what it is supposed to do.

The media could not be loaded. If this review helps in any way Positive or Negative Please hit HELPFUL!!! It will help encourage me to continue my real reviews of products I've purchased.Likes: * Durable webbing wide and comfortable around your waist * Reasonably priced * Plenty of webbing provided for whatever application you may desire to use these straps for. * Straps are already threaded so that you have an idea of how they go through the fittings provided.Dislikes: * I guess my only dislike of this is that the webbing could be provided in one piece with detailed instructions as to how to put together Waist straps and be able to save the excess webbing for another project.Yes I'd buy these straps again. I'm very happy that they are not so bulky that I can have them on my Packable backpack and still pack it back into its case.Thank you for reading my review:Again Please give this review a thumbs up. It is real. I do answer questions if in comments. I've been on Amazon as a customer for over twenty years, and now a top 500 reviewer. I don't get compensated for my reviews. (Not that I wouldn't like to be.) I pay for Amazon Prime so I get any of the perks that come with my Prime membership.

The product seems sturdy. However, it is not what I needed. I purchased a backpack and it already has a waist belt, but a bit too short. I wanted something that extends the length of the exiting waist belt of the backpack. So, I searched Amazon for waist belt extension, and this item come up. However, this product does not provide that particular function, e.g. it does not fit to the existing buckles to extend the length of the existing waist belt. It is designed to provide a waist belt for backpacks without one. The picture instructions is not that good, but I could figure it out. I have to give it a one star because it does not function as intended when searching for waist belt extension.

I recently bought a backpack. It is great except that it was missing a waist belt. I don't know why but most backpacks to carry laptops are either optimised for hiking or do not have a waist belt. Being that laptops are heavy, I think it is an important feature to include. At the end I opted to buy one without a waist belt and add it myself. And this was the only good option I found. The buckle is wide which adds to comfort and weight relief of the back. My backpack didn't have a place to add one so I sewed it to the end of the shoulder straps with a nylon thread. The result is great, it doesn't move and I finally can use my otherwise perfect backpack with some weight relief of my shoulders.

I'm using this on a 5.11 backpack for hiking and I have to constantly retighten it. I will eventually find something else that works better and throw these straps away. But these are better than nothing.
