backpack strap

Bag suspension band

A backpack strap is one of the bands—usually a pair—that loop over the shoulders to secure a backpack to the wearer's body.

Adjusting the straps affects weight distribution and comfort: Tighten your backpack straps so the bag sits higher.

Some backpacks include additional chest or waist straps for stability.
