How do the straps come across the front chest? Do they criss-cross the chest? Is there a strap that comes across the waist?

The straps for the human are shoulder straps like a back pack. I don't recall that there are auxiliary straps at the waist or across the chest

Hi Helen,the straps come straight over the shoulder and do not cross, and there is no belly strap, but I wear this on a horse and my dog stays cozy back there with out much flopping around.

The straps do not criss-cross the chest. It's more like a regular backpack - the straps come down over the shoulders, down along side and under the arms and then attach to the bottom of the pet carrier. There is no strap across the waist, but it seems to work fine without it. We have used it with our 10 lbs cat and it works quite well.

The straps are just like a backpack in the front but thicker straps. No waist stray or anything. Just one strap on each shoulder.

It goes across your back. You strap a sword or whatever else to it. I mean I guess if ya want to use it as a belt then ya can.

The straps go over the shoulder and the front is open the bottom strap hugs the upper stomach right under the chest for men or women.

It is tight across the chest. When it loosens up a bit then it goes under your breasts and your boobs kind of pop out between the straps. but this is a very very good shoulder brace. it took my pain from a 10 down to two or three while wearing it the first time. I recommend the shoulder brace highly.

Yes, the cross-body strap is detachable at either end (so you can always attach the 'back' and then the 'front' once you have it on). Also, there is an overlay panel that attaches with velcro that allows you to adjust the tension to pull the shoulder forward/back etc. that makes it possible to adjust for whatever asymmetry you have.

No handle across the top. What there is is a 5 1/2 inch long by 1 1/2 inch wide strap fastened to the top that has velcro at the bottom, it fastens at the lower end to the back of the case. The intent I guess is that it can be fastened to your belt to carry on your waist. Hope this is helpful.

The chest strap is adjustable. Its not the easiest thing to move but it can be.

The unit has a chest strap. I have a 44" chest size and it looks like it can expand another 3-4". It's been a good unit. I'm still trying to figure everything out.

The pack does not come with a chest or waist strap, but I found some after-market ones you can buy on Amazon for a few bucks. I wouldn't recommend using this backpack on a long hike either way though as the hardened bottom bouncing against your lower back or butt gets a little annoying. It's great for short hikes, airplane travel, and day trips where you'll be able to take it off often, but rigorous hikes are better left to different camera bags, in my opinion.

Hi, yes pack has a chest strap however the design is poor because it can pull off if over tightened. The design is adjustable just clamps around a bead on the fabric so if you pull it tight to your chest it does not hold. As far as weight it can hold at least 80 lbs with no trouble, I have carried that much with no problem.

You can't cross cross the straps, but I am 5'1' with very narrow shoulders and it fits me very well. The Ergo felt wide on me, but this one doesn't.

It does have a chest strap and is comfortable. Typically I have my Maxxum loaded to the gills, and it does not 'dig' into my shoulders.

Yes. The shoulder straps are padded and connect across the chest, as well as waist strap (or hip depending on your size). Very comfortable to wear for long walks. Helps a lot to put it under my tree stand, makes the hike much less miserable without the metal and cheap straps cutting into me.

Yes, it included chest strap, BUT... the strap is rather narrow compared to others I have had and the material seems flimsy. (See my prior full review.)

The Maxxum does have a chest strap, and it's east to use and comfortable. After nearly a year of frequent use, I'm completely satisfied with the Maxxum.
