YYST One Backpack Waist Belt Backpack Waist Strap Universal Fit with Buckle - Black

Fit my mystery ranch backpack

Does what is meant to do and seems well built and durable. No complaints.

I recently bought a backpack. It is great except that it was missing a waist belt. I don't know why but most backpacks to carry laptops are either optimised for hiking or do not have a waist belt. Being that laptops are heavy, I think it is an important feature to include. At the end I opted to buy one without a waist belt and add it myself. And this was the only good option I found. The buckle is wide which adds to comfort and weight relief of the back. My backpack didn't have a place to add one so I sewed it to the end of the shoulder straps with a nylon thread. The result is great, it doesn't move and I finally can use my otherwise perfect backpack with some weight relief of my shoulders.

I am not happy with this belt. it is not too strong like show in the picture. I will return it

This does the job but there are lots of straps and buckles, and it's impossible to get them all to work as they are supposed to. You can just tie things together, but then you land up with various strap ends floating around and very messy.Overall I've concluded that if you just want a chest-strap for a day pack, not for serious hiking, you're better off with a bungee cord. Get the right length, tie it around one should strap, and interlock the two plastic hook ends around the second strap and hooking each other. Does the same job, much less hassle. You just need to arrange everything carefully so that the hard plastic hook parts line up against a part of your body that is flesh, not bone.
