Frequently Asked Questions

How does this attach to my backpack?
It uses a ladder-lock style strap that locks onto the 1" webbing on your backpack’s shoulder straps. This keeps it firmly in place so it won’t slide down.

Will it fit a non–Recycled Firefighter backpack?
Yes. It’s designed to work with standard 1" shoulder-strap webbing found on most tactical and outdoor packs, so it’s basically universal.

What does a sternum strap do?
It pulls your shoulder straps together across your chest, keeping them from slipping off and helping the pack sit closer to your body. This improves comfort and stability, especially with heavy loads or lots of movement.

What type of buckle does it use?
It features a 3/4" ITW Nexus side-release buckle for quick, easy on/off and fast release in an emergency.

What materials is it made from?
It’s built with tough 3/4" Mil-Spec nylon webbing and USA-made ITW Nexus hardware for long-lasting durability.

How adjustable is it?
You can adjust both the length and the vertical position on your shoulder straps, so it fits a wide range of body sizes—from small to XL.

Where is it made?
It’s proudly made in the USA for dependable quality and field-ready performance.
