Does the shoulder straps ACTUALLY have decent padding?

I bought this for my girlfriend and she was very pleased with it. She travels every week for work. Padding is ok

I don't use the shoulder strap that came with the bag because it broke after carrying it one week with only the laptop enclosed. I'm using a dell shoulder strap from another bag. Did not want to deal with the hassle of a return just for the strap. I really like the bag.

The shoulder straps have decent padding for me. I travel with this bag using the shoulder traps and I carry an iPad , a 10" Acer laptop and occasionally a Nook. I love this bag.

Yes the shoulder padding is sufficient. I don't use it every day but I've been very satisfied with this bag as my choice for a non-leather bag.

It is decent padding, however the plastic clips that connect the strap to the bag broke almost immediately. Replace those with something more robust and you'll be fine.

Well, it isn't bad. It has what feels like gel inside of the pad on the strap, not stuffing.

it's not super plushy but it has a pad on the strap that is adjustable that makes it comfortable. I have never had a problem with my shoulder hurting.

yes padding was sufficient for me; the strap design is better suited for carrying as a messenger bag rather than a shoulder bag though. a 17" laptop tends to slide off the shoulder a bit too easily for my tastes though.

I believe so...I'm a 43" and there's plenty of strap left, as well as the shoulder straps.

The strap sewn on and is "adequate" - I'm a stocky 6'2" and I can't go cross-body with the strap (a slender 5'3" woman probably could). However, I added a guitar strap gel-pad to cushion the weight and it's very comfortable just hanging off my shoulder. And the handle is actually quite decent for a bag in this price range.

The straps are metal and I have not had any issues with them. No slipping or cutting into my shoulders. It is a nice suit top and I ordered it in a size 12. Hope this is helpful.

The padded hip straps are permanently attached, but I don't find them very obtrusive.

Hey Rev yeah it does have straps they're pretty good too. This is a good bag for the price. No regrets

As a cheap, basic strap goes, it's totally fine. I've owned better; I've not owned cheaper, and it's well padded and comfortable enough.

Have not had any problem with the back padding (actually helps to distribute the weight more evenly in the backpack). However we live in a drier climate and probably can not give a fair "review" of this feature. Overall it's an excellent backpack for the money.

No, these straps are not padded. They are fairly thick, not uncomfortable, but not padded.

Yes it does have shoulder straps but I have never used them. I bought it for using the wheels since I have a bad back.

The straps are not padded. I have the bag loaded but it does not dig into your shoulder.

It does have semi padded straps and looks like the photo. it's definitely suitable for any env, I haven't had any issues, I've ran and rucked with it, not battle tested yet but definitely top o the line for the avid outdoorsman.

Quite honestly, I use the hand grips because I find all shoulder straps made from this fabric to be slippery. But the shoulder strap is quite long, adjustable on both sides of the padded portion, and about 1 1/2 inches wide. The padded portion is 10-12 inches long and is in the center of the overall strap, and is slightly curved; the padding is maybe 3/8" thick. I take a commuter train and two subways to work, and this works well for me. Hope this helps!
