shoulder belt

Crossbody restraint system

A shoulder belt is a strap that crosses diagonally from the shoulder to the opposite hip.

The term most often refers to the diagonal portion of a vehicle's seat belt: Make sure your shoulder belt isn't tucked behind you.

Historically, shoulder belts supported swords, ammunition pouches, or other military gear.
