Does this backpack have a sternum strap?

No, but with the nicely placed loops on the straps, you probably could add one if needed

No it does not. It looks pretty much like a normal backpack kids bring to school. The difference is in the inside where you are all the different areas to hold your laptop, cables. external battery and books (I carry a 1" binder and a leather binder along with the laptop in main compartment) the laptop envelope and envelope strap is in the main compartment. It took me awhile to learn how to pack it but now everything has assigned places so I just need to look in a pocket to know if I have it. There are so many pockets the document area (2nd biggest area) goes largely unused.

No backpack style straps. It comes with a shoulder strap, like a purse style of carry.

No it does not. What you see is what you get! There is a little loop (just a loop, no button, clasp, etc.) around the neck to attach it to a back pack or something similar.

No it doesn't, but it is easy to add one. I used ChicoBag Accessory~Sternum Strap~Daypack15 & 20 rePETe that i also purchased on amazon. It was quick and simple to put on. It works great.

Yes it does. It has a strap and is easy to carry. I can carry two of them easily.

It unfortunately does not. The earlier version from 2 years ago had z detachable shoulder strap, but they got rid of that feature. There is a small loop in the center of the back so that you can hang it up if needed.

Yes it has a shoulder strap. Nice bag. A Christmas gift for my granddaughter and she loved it.

Yes it does. The shoulder pads are quite comfortable, but firmer rather than softer, and extend almost the entire length of the strap. The entire back is made with a thin padding. For the money its the best pack I've bought, the only other pack I have that can compare with this cost me $150~

Yes it does, not a particularly fancy one, and the bag has a shoulder strap attached to it.

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.

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

Unfortunately, it does not. If I have one complaint this is it. Otherwise, it is a fantastic bag.

No, the one you see is the only strap. It's very comfortable though, and big enough to wear over your shoulder. Not as a cross-body though.

It has a waist belt strap and a small sternum strap. A great bag for the price. It does tend to slip off your shoulder if using only one strap though.

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.

It only has one strap. It cannot be worn as a backpack but it can be worn like a messenger bag. It also had handles.
