Is this strap kooshy/padded, like neoprene on the inside, or just straight embroidery sewn to velvet back? Sounds nice, better be for $40! Thanks

It is slightly padded so their is comfort, if strapped around your neck for long periods.

It's embroidered on, even/ added to that section, looks nice though. Pardon for the delayed answer, I was away for a few days. Good Luck!

The one I bought which looks like the picture IS definitely two padded straps! :)Love the backpack, but wish it came in another color!!! (I did find a light blue/grey one, but it took almost forever to find it as it was no longer in production!)

It feels like the fabric used to make diving suits. It's very pretty and well padded. I really like mine.

Take it with you to a hobby shop. They will have the strap material as well as the clips. You can puzzle out how to sew it all together. You might also buy a spool of black upholstery thread. A good project to work on while watching television.

Hey Adam. The strap works out great, I have no problem with it at all. Looks just like the images.

It's an elastic strap .... watch out, dont keep is sports bag with velcro or purse with velcro ... the 'hooks' part of the velcro makes the fibers on strap fray but other then that, i've never had it slip open (ever)

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame. Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort.

It is not padded. Though it's a pretty wide strap. 2 1/2 inches give or take. I wore it more messenger style than as a purse.

That square of leather goes on both sides of the strap to which the buckle is attached. On the back of that square is a snap. My bag has stitching across the top and bottom and down both sides. I see what you are asking about on the pictures; I had never noticed that BUT the stitching on top and bottom must be there for looks because it does't attach anything - it is just sewn through the leather. The stitches down he sides attach the leather front to the leather back where the snap is located. I hope this helps.

most of my guitar straps (5 of them) have this type of vintage woven pattern. I think its a unisex strap.

The strap is pretty standard length and adjustable. I wear it as a cross-body bag and it works great. Highly recommend it.

The straps are nylon web with PVC leather (man made) ends sewn in. No real leather on this bag. But the bag is well made, very comfortable to wear and looks great! I have had a couple of guys ask where they can buy one. One dude said he was looking for a bag that wasn't girlie looking and said this bag was what a man's carry bag should look like. I can honestly recommend this bag. I am pleased with mine. I have been using on occasion for about 2 months with no issues.

Cut the strap shorter and resew it back on. Anybody with a sewing machine could do it in seconds or if you have a needle and thread it would take a few minutes if the sewing machine isn't available.

The strap sewn on and is "adequate" - I'm a stocky 6'2" and I can't go cross-body with the strap (a slender 5'3" woman probably could). However, I added a guitar strap gel-pad to cushion the weight and it's very comfortable just hanging off my shoulder. And the handle is actually quite decent for a bag in this price range.

No. the "back" where the loops are is a wider piece and is double thickness nylon webbing type material, but it is not padded. The "front" where the buckle fastener is is the narrower piece of nylon strap and is single thickness (when I say narrow, it is 2 inches or 5 centimetres wide, the back where the loops are is about 3.75 in or about 9.5 cm). If a person were handy-crafty or knew someone who was, one could probably stitch some kind of padding such as fleece onto this back part (probably take upholstery sewing machine to get through the thicker strap/webbing), but it does Not come padded.
