Q&A

What's this backpack part called and how can I get a replacement?

+0
−0

This is part of the chest strap of an Altura Morph backpack/pannier that I use for commuting. I've lost half the strap and one of my bikes can't take a pannier rack so I use backpack mode on that bike. That tends to be the bike I use in the rain; with a wet waterproof jacket the shoulder straps slide around in the absence of a functioning chest strap.

It's not a cheap bag, so I'd like to repair it

The part is question is plastic, a slotted tube with the dimensions shown in the first picture:

Strap part

This part slides up and down a stiff track on the shoulder strap, like a wire wrapped in fabric, so the chest strap height can be adjusted: enter image description here

It should be prevented from easily coming off the end of the track, but some damage to that region of the left shoulder strap means the left half of the chest strap went missing.

If I can buy a replacement I can easily make a new chest strap from spares I have, but I've no idea what to search for. My guess is that it's generic but most of my other kit is quite old and I haven't seen one on anything else. I could make something or buy a generic replacement strap but this was quite a nice design that stayed in place unless it snagged on something.

It looks like this piece goes by 3 different names,

You could also try contacting the manufacture, since these parts don't seem to be extremely common.

These piping clips for sliding removable sternum straps are one of the most allusive products I've seen in USA. Mine fell off of my Ogio dirtbike backpack. After a deep internet search I finally found a low cost source in North America at Ripstopbytheroll.com

This option has the clip for $1.00 https://ripstopbytheroll.com/products/sternum-magic-buckle?variant=29516792461

This is just the piping clip for $.35 https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/misc-plastic-components/products/piping-clip

Shipping was only $3.50.

There are also a few Rapid Prototype files out there:

Thank you to Rip Stop By The Roll!
