Introduction

This guide shows you the process of reinstalling a C-Clamp style Sternum Strap on a Patagonia backpack.

This particular Sternum Strap is called a "C-Clamp" because the cross section of the clips is shaped like a "C".

    • At the bottom of the Sternum Strap "Rail" there is a flap.

    • Pull this flap back to expose the bottom of the Rail.

    • Slide the C-Clamp Clip back onto the Rail.

    • The C-Clamp can be difficult to slide on. You can pull the fabric that is around the Rail tightly to make this step easier.

    • Repeat the steps above on the other backpack strap.

This is helpful, except where do I find the replacement part! I contacted Patagonia and they no longer make it; they said to try a local sporting goods store or to send to Patagonia and they'll sew on a new daisy-chain version. My local REI does not have these parts either. Bummer!
