Black Whistle Backpack Buckle

Had to super glue to stay put. Very satisfied

A chest strap is an important feature when carrying a heavy backpack or if you will be using it for activities other than walking (Cycling, hiking, etc.). This strap works well and holds its position. I added it to my Solgaard pack because the proprietary chest strap failed and could not be replaced. This fits fine and is not obtrusive on the pack. It can also be easily slid down the straps to the bottom to get it out of the way if necessary.

In a first for me, a simple set of straps which keep falling off. The buckles are much to big for the material, and no matter how much I overlap the straps, they work loose and they fall off. The end buckles and straps themselves are of good quality. I managed to find some old, tighter buckles to substitute and they now work properly. In the end, they work, but having to mess around like this was a disappointment. Photo attached of the original 2 buckles, and the smaller one I scavenged to make this work.

I got the pink one which is a cute color. However, one reviewer recommended to sew the straps closed, and I fully agree!! This type of strap doesn’t seem to feel 100% solid and seems like it will come loose, which defeats the purpose of the strap. I’ll keep it since I like the color, but there are better options on Amazon and they don’t require you to bust out a sewing machine/needle and thread.

works on the backpack but does tend to slide up and down the backpack straps.

Great service and product as decribed. Color true to photos which was super important to us as we were trying to color match a backpack. Buckle locks tightl, but easily, but not overly so that you have to wrestle it apart. Good quality and appear durable for price. Would purchase again.

You know how literally every buckle you've ever used, ever, has had one side of the strap sewn? And the adjuster will be doubled back over itself as a catch? There's no reason for that. This is literally just a couple buckles and some blank strap. The strap is so slick, and the buckles do not grab, at all, that I couldn't get them to stay on the backpack shoulder straps. I even tried the routing they came with (I only undid one), and all you have to do is pull and it undoes itself by the way it is looped through the buckle. I'll admit, I'm not a wizard with knots. Would have made a terrible boy scout. But I've owned a TON of backpacks and undone/redone more straps than I could count, and this thing... sucks. Even if you can get a routing right that binds it against itself, the strap is so slick it just doesn't have enough friction to hold. You're either sewing this thing together, or throwing it in the trash in frustration. Also, the buckled themselves are pretty much a get what you paid for sort of deal. This was for a toddler's backpack, so I thought it would be fine, but I'm pretty sure she'd still break them.

Yes it worked great. My backpack blower is very heavy and I have to wear it for a long time and this strap helped me distribute the weight better and keep tighter

Good quality, stays in place

No los pude usar. No se logran acoplar a la mochila y quedan flojos por más que los amarres

The sternum strap makes walking more enjoyable as my back pack straps don’t keep falling down my arms

Product received in good condition on time, No damage found and works great.

works well, easy to adjust
