INITIAL SET UP
2. STERNUM STRAP HEIGHT
a. Fasten the sternum strap buckle and tighten the strap by pulling the plastic D-ring to
your left.
b. Tightening the sternum strap adjusts where the shoulder straps will sit on your
shoulders. The correct adjustment pulls the shoulder straps together just far enough
that they do not restrict your arm movement.
c. Evaluate the height of the sternum strap:
i. If it sits too close to your throat, it is too HIGH.
ii. If it causes the shoulder straps to bulge and not sit flush on your chest, the strap is
probably too LOW.
d. If necessary, adjust the height of the sternum strap:
i. Insert a small, flat screwdriver into the slot between the sternum link plate and the
sternum strap buckle.
ii. Use the screwdriver to lever the link plate off the buckle.
iii. Adjust the sternum buckle up or down to the desired, pre-determined attachment
points.
iv. Replace the link plate into the buckle. Ensure that the plate is inserted all the way and
sits flush against the buckle.
v. Ensure you adjust both sides evenly so that the BC fits you symmetrically
