I love the new Apprentice bag but it does not come with a sternum strap. Luckily Eberlestock has them available and for a bargain of a price for Eberlestock quality. The elastic section in it makes it far superior to anything you would get from Amazon. My only quibble is I originally ordered a coyote color to go with my dark earth bag and realized it was the wrong color. I ordered another strap in dark earth and I can’t tell the difference from the coyote color I ordered. So either they don’t have a strap that matches the bag or they sent me the wrong one. Doesn’t matter, the strap is so useful, I just use it.
The elastic part is a bit too long, at least for my backpack. It is adjusted all the way to the smallest setting and still a bit long otherwise it be 5 starts. I have an Eberlestock backpack and the chest strap that comes with it, is a perfect fit(shorter). And yes I would buy another if needed
Easy to install on the new Apprentice everyday backpack. As with all Eberlestock products, quality is top notch.
I ordered new replacement sternum strap for an existing pack to go with a replacement harness the new design is more durable but also allows the possibility to replace the sternum strap in the field.
I bought this to add to my Apprentice Backpack. Very easy to install, works as it should & is durable. Glad I bought this.
Needed to buy a replacement because apparently mine fell off while I was hunting
Decent sternum strap for a reasonable price.
