USGI USMC
Pack System Mystery Cinch Modular Sternum Strap - New
The USMC
Mystery Ranch Sternum Cinch Strap (officially designated in military
logistics as the Strap, Webbing [Sternum Cinch]) is a specialized
load-bearing solution engineered specifically for the Marine Corps' FILBE /
USMC Pack System. Anyone who has worn a heavily loaded tactical rucksack
over a plate carrier or body armor knows it can be a painful combination.
Typically, standard shoulder pads slide outward off the armor profile and dig
directly into the armpits, resulting in severe chafing, bleeding, or localized
nerve damage over extended movements.
Designed by
elite pack maker Mystery Ranch and fabricated under defense contracts,
this clever accessory acts as a structural anchor. It mounts directly to the
front MOLLE/PALS webbing of an Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV), Outer
Tactical Vest (OTV), or standard plate carrier at armpit level. Once attached,
it reroutes the rucksack's shoulder straps across the front chest panel. This
shifts the dense payload weight off the armpits, locking the backpack squarely
onto the body armor to eliminate load swaying and severe hot-spots.
This item
arrives in New condition, unissued and pristine inside its original
factory configuration. The high-tensile webbing, heavy-duty stitching, and
quick-detach polymer buckle are completely flawless and 100% field-ready.

pressure, allowing proper circulatory flow to the arms during long field
rucks and preventing long-term shoulder fatigue.
