 Why is this an extra? April 13, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I picked up a bag for my 17inch Macbook Pro and got to the counter only to be asked "do you want to buy the strap pad?". What? Why isn't this a standard item like on Crumpler bags? It's okay I guess. It is slightly padded, but I really don't see why I should have to pay extra for something that should be included with the bage
Not as pictured - Mediocre comfort April 9, 2008

1. The swirl on the strap is yellow, not white. Considering ordered this online specifically for the white coloring to match the white swirl on my bag, this is a problem.
2. The additional comfort provided is mediocre
3. There should have been a padded strap on the bag in the first place. I wish I would not have wasted another $10 to give Timbuk2 on something that should have been included with original purchase.

I bought this product to add a shoulder pad to a crumpler camera bag. I also have bought a Timbuk2 should pad for another bag without the grip feature. The advantage of this product is that is has a grip texture that prevents the shoulder strap from sliding off. It worked without any problems.

For me, this pad adds much comfort when my bag is full and heavy. The velcro fastener runs the length of the pad and secures to the strap quite well. I can attach it as tightly as I want, so it either stays put (very put), or I can attach it so it can slide a little as I adjust my bag from my front to my back.
My only gripe is that I think this should have come "stock" with the Timbuk2 laptop messenger bag that costs $100. But I guess for those who are color coordinating, buying it separately gives them the option of picking different colors.
Nifty Strap Pad - Makes all the difference November 18, 2007

An absolute must-have for your Timbuk2 Messenger esp if you tend to carry heavy items like a laptop (Macbooks are NOT light). It makes commuting much more tolerable and pain-free on the shoulders. The problem is that it sometimes makes it difficult for me to slide my bag from my back to the front and vice versa, though this is easily solved by loosening the strap pad itself.
