How is the compression on this model? Does the material itself provide support? Or, is the support totally reliant on the strap?

Compression is good. The support is reliant on the strap. These are expensive and wear out real quick in the heel. The stitching comes out and the material starts to fray and makes a big hole at the heel. I do like that it comes in the xsmall size.

The sock provides good compression support. The strap provides added support without hindering mobility. It's very comfortable to wear.

of course, depending on the size you get, it is a very snug fit. yes the material itself provides support; the strap feels extra supportive.

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

I havent had any issues with it as long as you keep the straps nice and tight.

I load my bag fairly full, and NEVER had the strap release. It has metal clasps, which is why I bought it because my other bag had plastic ones and it could not handle the weight. I put a laptop, and iPad as well as paperwork and extra stuff. I love my bag!

I was using this bag to carry on my shoulders my camera bag (which has only one strap): BAGCEPTION !!!It was working perfectly, and my reflex and its accessories are about 2Kg (4.4lbs) I would say... But as said previous comments: the bag itself will not protect anything, and it's definitely not the most reliable one... But it's quite unlikely that it tears out completely in one second (I mean, I think you will see local damages before your computer drops down)

The lower straps are very sturdy and do not stretch. The padded area is soft and slightly stretchy, but it appears very well made. I trust it on my high-end DSLR.

It all depends. For me, alot of my pain was from running with a heavy pack in the military. Do I have compression issues. That is the main thing you will benefit from. I used it regularly for 3 months and now I can just use it once a week. Seriously amazing

I have Mirage 15's on them. They are a little over 40 lbs and have no visible compression. I hope this helps.

Yes, it is. The only thing I have found negative is the life of the support straps, but I use it nightly and take a nap daily and have to take it on and off during the night frequently. It should last longer for someone without the physical problems I have.

I'm reasonably certain that the product would support the weight but the straps have minimal padding. I think it would be pretty uncomfortable to carry that heavy of a payload.

I agree with Ivan... not super thick but very sufficient. I have found this bag, along with the straps to very comfortable. I have it pretty well loaded when I use it and will wear it for hours and I love it.

It's not rigid so it's flexible but you can wrap it as tight as you can stand it. I would say moderate to light compression depending upon how tight you set it.

Deron's comment is right on. And the strap should easily support your weight.

"good support"? more like good compression and good at keeping alignment. But as a true support, not so sure, you'd probably want something more sturdy/velcro action. But if you've got a relatively healthy knee and want a feel good safeguard, I'd say this would do the job. If you're coming back from injury or have knee pain or weakness, then you'll probably want something more substantial. In my unprofessional opinion ;)

It does compress when you push on it. I ride for about 30 minutes on my stationary bike and it's OK.

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.
