How comfortable are the shoulder straps? When I fill up the bag it is 25+ pounds.

Very comfortable at full capacity. I had a ps4 ,my laptop, iPad, some clothes, and tons of chargers and misc cables in it and had no comfort issues! They actually were more comfortable than just my laptop in my old bag was.

Straps are very comfortable. I am sure you will be comfortable withe 25+ pounds.

I am 250 lbs and it fits me. The only thing that I have noticed is if you dont have wide shoulders it will kind of bunch up around the shoulder pads part.

I would say so (for as comfortable as it could possibly be carrying any amount of weight on just one shoulder). I can wear it full while chasing after my 2 yo in the park with no huge red strap marks.

Sorry, I don't know exactly. About 3 or 4 lbs I feel, lighter than my son's Grade 4 school backpack for sure.

I find this bag to be extremely comfortable, it's very light weight and the straps are perfect!

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.

Well its more about the volume than the weight. As it clearly says that you can put 55 litres, so if you have dense objects like clothes, accessories etc. you can easily put 23 kgs. The highest weight I had put in this bag is 16 kg in a backpacking trip which was 2 days and 18 miles and I had no problems. By the way, its more of a hiking/mountaineering backpack than a regular travelling bag.

Shoulder strap works well for me. Make sure it is adjusted so everything is in balance.

I haven't tested it the max but in my opinion I'm about 140 and it starts to feel pretty tight, and even just going on comfort I wouldn't want to be much more than 150-160 without any padding or a sleeping bag etc under me.

With a heavy load it might become uncomfortable, I keep about 25 lbs (Almost 11 kg) worth of stuff in mine normally, that includes the 3L camelbak (Which weights about 8 lb's full). I can wear it a long time without issue. I'd say one of the reasons I got it was because if I needed something it's mega easy to access. I've not felt need to switch shoulders like with my old messenger bag. The strap is wide and padded a bit. But your hip shares the weight, not enough to be uncomfortable or to put your back at risk of pain or unnecessary stress.

I'm a 215 lb male with broad shoulders and have had this thing loaded with gear and used the chest strap no problem, not long hikes, but some trail hikes. I love this bag..

No its not! Its so uncomfortable. It digs in your shoulder because its round, its not flat.... sorry I meant the shorter straps. The long one is ok, not padded like others say but its not bad.

yeah i weigh about 250. Ive had it a little while now and it kind of makes a pop noise if i get to twistin around on it. but its really comfortable I wish it had a headrest or came up a little higher to rest your head on.

I'm 6 feet or about the same size as you and I was comfortable in the bag. I'm narrower in the shoulders though.

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

I never weighed it, but if I had to guess, approximately 2.5-3 lbs. Something to remember is that you don't want to load 30 or 40 lbs. in this thing. It will be pretty uncomfortable to carry. I never put more than around 20 lbs. in this bag.

The strap pretty substantial and has a nice amount of padding. I was ok with the bag for my last trip wearing it for about 5 hours straight. Had to shift it a few times since I have boney shoulders, but with a camera, 2 lenses, flash, batteries, memory cards, meter, and some accessories, it really wasn't bad for that amount of time.
