Our Shoulder Strap Pads add extra padding to your shoulder straps right where you need it. These shoulder strap pads should be compatible with almost any backpack straps. They are made with 3/8" closed cell foam, and a layer of soft cushioning 3D mesh on the underside. 

  • 3D Mesh on the bottom, 3.1 oz/sqyd Hybrid Dyneema® Composite Fabric on the top, 3/8" Closed cell foam in the middle.

  • Two Velcro bands hold it in place. Attach the bands through your shoulder strap's daisy chain so they can't move up or down.

  • The pads have Velcro which wraps around your backpack's shoulder straps. If your shoulder straps have a daisy chain (like our straps) you can put the Velcro through the daisy chain to keep them in position. Otherwise use a safety pin so they don't slide up or down the strap.

  • All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.
  • Made in the USA.

Dimensions: 2.75" x 6.5" (6.9 cm x 16.5 cm)

5.3 oz/sqyd 3D Spacer Mesh

These pads kept shoulder straps from digging in and stayed in place on a 46 lb Black Diamond Mission 75 pack on a backpacking-scrambling trip in the Sierra Nevada

first time customer from Australia

fantastic experience all around. Thrilled with the pack and accessories. First-time overseas Z-pack customer. Took the new gear on a 5-day hike, so comfortable and felt a lot lighter than the 18kgs I packed. looking forward to my next hike which will be 400km plus in Korea. Only downside is the US-to-Australian $ exchange rate and the cost of international postage from the US.

Extra padding where I needed it

I was able to place the pads where I needed extra padding over the buckles close to my back.

Game Changer!

My loaded pack was burning a hole into my boney shoulders. These pads make it so much less painful. Money well spent!
