Front Strap Replacement Kit for NDM Harness

USWE's Front Strap Replacement Kit is the elastic chest strap set that holds a USWE NDM 1.0 or 1.2 pack tight against your body. When the old strap has stretched, frayed or snapped and the pack has started to bounce, this is the part that puts the zero-bounce feel back, in your choice of three chest sizes.

What it is

A replacement front strap for USWE's No Dancing Monkey 1.0 and 1.2 harness: elastic webbing that wraps your chest, hook-and-loop adjustment to fine-tune the tension, and a quick-release buckle to get in and out. It threads through the attachment points already on your NDM harness, so the swap takes minutes and the rest of the pack stays as it is.

Who it's for

Mountain bikers, enduro riders and off-road, dual-sport and adventure motorcyclists running a USWE NDM 1.0 or 1.2 pack: the MOTO Hydro, MTB Hydro, Airborne, Ranger, Vertical, Patriot and Outlander. It is also the fix for a pack that fits everywhere except across the chest, whether that means a smaller frame needing the XS-S or a rider in a chest protector needing the XXL. The Outlander PRO and the Race 2.0 take a different strap.

Key details

• Fits: USWE MOTO Hydro, MTB Hydro, Airborne, Ranger, Vertical, Patriot and Outlander (NDM 1.0 and 1.2)
• Not for: Outlander PRO or Race 2.0
• XS-S: about 76–112 cm chest, for kids, petite riders and small frames
• M-XL: about 84–120 cm chest, the standard size on almost every USWE pack
• XXL: about 104–140 cm chest, for broad builds or riding over a chest protector or body armour
• Elastic webbing with hook-and-loop adjustment moves with your breathing
• Quick-release buckle for layering up or swapping packs

How it compares

USWE's newer packs run the NDM 2.0 & Snug-Me or NDM 2.1 harness, and each of those has its own replacement harness. This kit is for the NDM 1.0 and 1.2 packs above. Measure your chest at its widest point to choose a size, and if you sit between two sizes or ride in extra layers, we'd go up one.
