I am used to using a hiking backpack, which has good padding on the straps. When I upgraded to the Gemini, I knew I would need some padding for the straps. Maybe I just live under a rock, but I’ve never seen any other brand make detachable strap padding like this! The padding is the perfect thickness and firmness to make carrying my heavy Gemini just as comfortable as wearing my old hiking backpack! At first, I was sad that the padding didn’t come in the same color as my bag, but I actually love how the taupe padding looks with the sage green bag.

These are really great to pad the straps. I’ve loved them so far.

I have immediately made my Gemini bag quite heavy, this well padded strap pad will make it easier to haul my work around the country. Thank you.

I never realized i needed these for my straps! Made a huge difference

I carry too much stuff; I am well aware. However, I am not going to stop anytime soon, so I am very thankful for these straps!

I love it. Comfortable, great quality and classy look!

Snaps won’t stay closed. Padding slides around.

Must have for the back pack option!

This strap pad is well-made and makes my heavy bag more comfortable to carry. However, it's very slippery and the bag constantly slides down my shoulder. One side of this pad should be made with "grippy" material, and it should come with the bag rather than ordered separately.
