Maxpedition Non-Slip 1.5 Shoulder Pad

The available colours and size means that this can be used with a variety of bags from Maxpedition and other manufacturers. It attaches firmly to the strap and stays in a relatively static position, while offering excellent padding/better weight distribution. I personally use this with a Mystery Ranch 10 L Tote and the larger 2 inch version on the 20 L Mystery Ranch Tote, the shoulder pads do a fantastic job when carrying heavy items and reduce movement of the bag.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, helps a strap grip onto your shoulder and spread the load weight to help prevent aches. Very well built, typical Maxpedition. Now for the critical aspect: If you use it bandolier style, one has to be careful it doesn't cut into one's neck, especially the velcro securing tabs which are hard-edged. So a 8.5 out of 10. Would I buy another? Yes, without question. Would I recommend one? Most definitely. Not forgetting the superb service and support by Hennie Haynes.
