Description

The Y-strap is used with load stabilizers to adjust how your pack carries. Using stabilizers with heavier loads can improve weight distribution on your back. For lighter loads, you may choose to forgo the Y-strap and simply clip the center compression strap directly to the haul loop.

There are two styles available, both of which attach to your pack using g-hooks.

Style A: This is the default for the Shrike and Sassafras V4. It has integrated load stabilizers and is compatible with the Style A center strap. Weighs 15.7g | 0.55 oz.

Style B: This is the default for the Sassafras V3. Load stabilizers are sold separately and it is compatible with the Style B center strap. Weighs 6.2g | 0.22 oz.

Compatibility: Shrike, Sassafras (versions: 4.0, 3.0, 3.1, 2.2)

If you use Style A on a Sassafras V3, you will not be able to connect the Style A center strap to the haul loop.
