Review by fab for Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Strap Pad,Black,M Rating: Getting a bag in extra large bag in UK is a bit of a mission impossible. After finally ordering one from the EU It arrived with no shoulder strap. Any of the larger bags should have them as standard due to the extra weight to be carried.

Used a padded shoulder strap from an old Nike messenger bag to see if it was worth the trouble and expense of getting a padded shoulder pad. Found the Nike shoulder pad done the trick.

Located the non slip version in a local cycle shop, and purchased the non slip padded shoulder strap.

The non slip does what it says, stays were it is with a bag loaded with 10-15 kg on a 11 mile trip. The down side is after 7 miles it starts hurt. My old Nike strap does not hurt, but slips every few miles.

It boils down to the lesser of two evils, or pain. The pain of the padded strap or the pain of falling of my bike due to my bag slipping to the side at speed when taking a corner. So I guess its ok

Review by Consumer for Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Strap Pad,Black,M Rating: This is a shoulder pad. It attaches to the strap on your bag and pads your shoulder. Mission accomplished!

Review by dorkyT for Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Strap Pad,Black,M Rating: I love love love my Timbuk2 Medium Messenger Bag, and had used it for school/grocery shopping for several years without the strap pad. I bought the pad before going to study abroad in Europe last summer since I was using my bag as a carry-on. The pad really made a remarkable difference. I took my bag through 6 different airports, used it as a weekender, and essentially lived out of it the whole summer. The pad made carrying my life around on my shoulder much more bearable. I now use it for school again, and I can tell a difference in the amount of cutting-into-shoulder pain. Definitely worth it, if you're going to commit to an excellent Timbuk2 bag, go for the pad as well and really get the most out of your bag.

Review by Shel Erb for Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Strap Pad,Black,M Rating: The strap provides good comfort on the shoulder, however it is loosely fixed and will shift easily down the strap. If it had a rubberized sheath it would hold up better.

Review by Ricardo Romer for Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Strap Pad,Black,M Rating: Well made but poorly desingned. There is no anti slip so the strap keeps sliding off your shoulder. Don't buy it!
