Särmä TST 2-piece Utility Strap

A simple but rather clever two-piece utility strap, doubles up as a weapons sling, carrying strap, or sternum strap. Modular construction attaches to any rucksack or PALS gear and doesn't fall off even if you're in a hurry and forget to secure the buckle. Adjustable at three points so you'll never have to roll and tidy up the ends.

This strap consists of two lengths of 25 mm / 1" webbing, each has a buckle on it to form a loop that can be attached to just about any rucksack or PALS gear. The clever thing is that this allows for the strap to stay securely in place even if you leave the buckle open, and having three points (the two ladder buckles and the SR buckle) of adjustment you don´t need to worry about long webbing straps flopping all around you.

Available as 100 cm / 25" long.

Tips for use

This strap is truly very versatile and serves a number of purposes:

• Utility strap for lashing sleeping gear etc. onto rucksacks and vests. This is probably the most common use for a strap like this, in this use this design often outperforms the usual single-piece tie-down straps.
• A carry strap for a bag, by attaching this onto a bag (might require additional clips for compatibility) you get a simple quick-release shoulder strap for just about any bag.
• One-point weapon sling: yes this can even be used as a simple tactical sling. For this you need the longer 100 cm strap, attach the long part onto the back of a vest or plate carrier, and the short piece onto your weapon (adapters such as clips, hooks, or paracord loops are easy to attach to the end of the strap). The end result is a very simple, very cheap one-point sling with a quick release!
• And the list goes on and on, really the only limit being your fantasy!

Made in Estonia

These are made in Estonia by Finn-Savotta Oy, our subcontractor for all Särmä TST field gear. Materials are cut and prepared in Finland, assembled in Estonia. This is because of two reasons: first of all Finn-Savottas production schedules are so packed full of huge military orders that we'd have to wait months to get these sewn in Finland. The second thing is that this way we can cut the retail price by a third! Quality-wise these are the same as Savotta's Finnish sewn stuff, so no worries there.
