Berghaus Vulcan Straps???

[Surrey Yeoman]

Hi all,

I treated myself to a Berghaus Vulcan rucksack and going through all the bits and bobs that came with it I came upon a pair of what I took to be accessory straps. However, there's an accessory strap already attached to every fixing point available!

The straps I'm curious about have a peculiar "tension lock" buckle attached to them in the middle, with a loop of strap at one end and an oval slide ring on the other.

The tension lock can be seen here..............

It all seems a bit elaborate to be just an accessory strap to me!

I can't find anything on the Berghaus website to tell me what they're for, so.............anybody on the forums know what they are?

Could they be the shoulder straps for turning the two side pockets in to a day sack.

My Roc has got that for my side pockets.

Nope, sorry mate, those straps already located and fitted. Thanks for taking the time though.

chest strap???? look here

cancel that...

just had a look around my Vulcan and in the lid pocket were a couple of straps like you describe - 2 straps, about 2' long - the chest strap is already fitted

Cheers Steve!

As you say, unless anyone else knows otherwise, that looks like what they're intended for.

Off upstairs to have fiddle with mine!

Update...............Straps now fitted as described by Bikething/Steve. I can see the logic behind them with the slider oval to secure the loose end, but it still seems a bit elaborate! Maybe one of the design team at Berghaus was at a loose end for a few hours one day!
