One of the reviewers stated this item does not come with a belt. Why would you need one with a chest strap?

Dear Tim, mine did come with a belt. This cyclocomputer is Also a heart rate monitor, so you need the chest strap to tracking. Advice do not wash your polar in the washing machine with the clotes, mines wasnt the same after...

Mine came with a strap. It's not super sturdy and you can choose to use it or not, but it is there (I do use it although it's come apart a couple of times and I've had to self-repair it).

Yes. It comes with a chest strap. Make sure you order it including the strap. Some of the sellers have a without strap option, but you NEED the strap for heart rate.

No it does not have a Belt or Strap. It does have the rings for one though.

No, but it shouldn't be packed with heavy stuff so it shouldn't need a chest strap.

Yes, it has a chest strap. As far as whether it is comfortable, I don't think I am a good one to answer that. I have had back problems the last couple of years, so I have been carrying it by the handle or straps and not strapping it to my back.

There was no leather belt with the product. I did not see one offered on their wed page either. I do not know if you need one as the fine (6000) does a great job.

Just received mine. It did NOT come with a strap or sleeve. I've reported it to Amazon that this description is wrong. Either that or someone is making money from stealing the straps/sleeves and selling them extra.

According to Maxpedition's website, it is supposed to come with a waist strap. Mine did not come with one. I asked the question and complained but never received a response.

No it doesn't its primary connection to you is kinetic in the form of arm movement. What is most critical is in the initial set up with your real weight; because it has a function that determines if you burned a body minimum of calories. It's essential, algorithm based and once it "gets" you it monitors what type of activity you've done and gives a visual of where you stand metabolically for the day. I like mine a lot and I wear it 6 days out of the week. So, to answer your question - no, you don't need a chest strap or any external devices. Hope this helps.

It comes with a strap. I personally carry it in my cargo pant pockets when I use it eventhough I always have the strap on.

Yes a chest strap is included. Be sure to wet the sensor pads with water and to make it contact better I put some hair gel on also.

Yes ,, the strap is provided . But . I use it without, just secure on the belt will do.

Yes there is a chest strap. I've loaded about 30lbs. of prospecting gear on it and the load is comfortable. It is all my old parts want to carry, but the frame loaded it out with ease. Not sure about a moose or something...Ross

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.)

There is no sternum strap, but as small as this backpack is I don't feel like you would need one when wearing it. Unless you fill it with rocks.I have my ipad, charger, keyboard, a few books, wallet, and keys in this backpack for my commute and it stays very securely on my shoulders without a sternum strap.With the above listed items inside it is also still very comfortable to wear due to the rigid backing.
