Description
Center Compression Straps for your Shrike or Sassafras are available in two styles and multiple lengths to help dial in your pack. Opt for shorter straps for smaller loads to avoid excess webbing dangling off your pack and minimize weight.
Style A: This is the default style used on the Shrike. It mounts to your pack with a g-hook on the bottom and clips to the haul loop (Shrike only) or Style A y-strap with a plastic buckle at the top. The Style A center strap is NOT compatible with the haul loop on the Sassafras.
Style B: This is the default style used on the Sassafras V3. It mounts to your pack with a g-hook on the bottom and clips to the haul loop or Style B y-strap with an adjustable g-hook at the top.
Note: The plastic buckles on Style A are not as robust as the adjustable metal g-hook used on Style B, but they are easier to use and adjust. However, the adjustable g-hooks used on Style B will wear down the webbing faster than the plastic buckles.
