OP/TECH USA 0901012 S.O.S. Strap for bags, briefcases and luggage- neoprene (Black)

I bought this strap for my everyday camera bag which is heavy enough with two cameras, an umbrella and various odds and ends that I could notice the weight. The stretchy neoprene pad on the S.O.S. Strap has definitely improved the comfort and reduced the apparent weight. An unexpected bonus is that because the webbing of the strap is sewn to each end of the pad, the pad stays where it’s supposed to be instead of sliding back and forth on the strap as the pad did on the original strap.

クソ重いノートPCを電源アダプター等と一緒に持ち運んでいるのでバッグの重さは相当あります。このストラップに変えてからは重いと思ったことがないというか、バッグを手に持っているときと比べて肩に下げるとビックリするくらいバッグが軽くなったように感じます。それだけ負荷が軽減されているのですね。ストラップが変えられるバッグなら是非交換したほうが良いです。ただし、幅があるのでバッグによっては見た目のバランスは悪くなると思いますが、効果は本当にすごいです。

This is a great strap with many benfitial features: - swivel clips - a smooth side and a grippy side, the smooth side is good for more delicate fabrics, the grippy side is great for stability - Adjustable length from both sides - Clean look / appearance - not what I would call boardroom style, but sufficient for most business uses - and last but certainly not least - stretch material on the pad section.This is the first strap that I have used that offers stretch on the pad and I wanted to write a few thoughts about what this does for the strap. First the stretch adds to the comfort of the strap. It seems to mold to my shoulder and clavicle and therefore it feels as though the pressure of the bag is spread more evenly across the pad material. The weight distribution is the best that I have felt and I have used straps in the past that had pads with larger surface areas than this one. As a consequence of the distribution of weight, the strap makes it feel as though the bag actually weights less than one would expect. There is a dramatic ah-ha moment the first time you pick up your bag - you know the one that you have picked-up hundreds of times and have a very well defined (and expected) weight and feel on your shoulder, and yet suddenly you realize it is not straining your shoulder and back as much.A potentially negative note on the stretch - if you carry a particularly heavy bag and attempt to run or walk fast (as I tend to do when trying to catch a train or a flight) your bag may "bounce" around a lot due to the stretch material. I have found that by keeping the overall strap length to a minimum (shorter than I typically use), I have been able to minimize the "bounce" effect. I do not find this issue to be big enough to take a star away - although I wanted to note this in case others might be more concerned about this.

Solide et confortable mais tellement courte qu'elle en est inutilisable sauf avec un petit sac et en ayant un petit gabarit

a bit expensive but well worth it. perfect with briggs and riley case. would definitely buy it again.
