Shoulder Strap Padding

Fitted the now many years old bag! Makes a big difference when filling the bag with heavy stuff and full, shoulders feeling the difference 😁

I keep the straps in my Jorvik bag so they are always there; they do help when I carry heavier loads. These seemingly humble padded straps reflect the bag's good design, they are functional, comfortable, made with great skill and care from robust, low impact, long-lasting materials. Thank you.

A beautiful waxes canvas set of straps, and no plastic within them - but tough and goes perfectly with my matching orange Yorvik bag. They clip on and off easily and feel so solid with buttons instead of zips that can compromise and wear down quicker. It is so rare to find well-crafted and non-plastic addition to straps, for heavier loads - and knowing that the money spent goes to the development of Wildwish workshops, and the illuminating human beings that are Oz and Nell. These straps are robust and comfortable as the material moulds, like the bag, in shape to your own shoulders. I love these so much that I end up keeping them on all the time - and I find they help with easing friction which can occur if one is a cyclist like me: as the bag can sway from side to side, as any backpack can, when cycling. I haven't tested how quickly these dry during a rainshower, (in order to not have wet shoulders for a long time) but i'm sure living in Scotland and cycling daily will test this theory soon. The only other thing I am curious about, which I haven't yet tested, is putting the removable sternum/chest strap around them. I find the straps do not slip much, but it depends on the clothing material being worn next to them, too.

Comfortable padded straps for carrying heavy loads. Excellent eco friendly ethos from a wonderful company.

Very well made and high quality materials that make a comfortable backpack even better!
