FAQ
Can I use this sternum chest strap with any Red Oxx bag that has retractable backpack straps
Yes of course, the Yoke will fit all Red Oxx bag straps -- including Rucksacks, Backpacks, Hybrid Convertible bags and the Sherpa Jr. and Big Oxx Expedition bags.
I lost the sternum strap that came with my bag, can I use this as a replacement?
Yes, this is the same strap that came with your bag. We recommend unsnapping the strap and tucking it into a zippered pocket on all bags that have retractable backpack straps such as the Sky Train, Tres Hombres, Lil Hombre, Sherpa Jr. and Big Oxx. That way the Yoke won't slip off the shoulder strap bottom once it's disconnected to be tucked back into the bag and become lost when you need it.
My Yoke broke. The buckle broke a tooth and no longer holds the two halves of the strap together. Do I send it in for warranty repair?
Yes, please send us your broken Yoke. You can download our warranty return form for quick processing and shipping here.
Can you ship USPS?
Yes, Red Oxx will ship USPS upon request. Simply state, "Please ship USPS" in the cart comments during checkout and we will adjust your billing accordingly.
