Yes shoulder straps are padded. They are pretty light weight I would say 2-3lbs.

I'm only 100 lbs and it's easy for me to carry around. The straps are lightly padded. All and all i consider these backpacks to be a great buy. Me and my husband LOVE them!

I don't know the exact weight but I am between 135-140 pounds and feel that the bag is light. If I felt like I had a heavy load, I never blamed it on the weight of the pack itself.

No. Just padded shoulder straps. It does have some pretty cool features though. So far it is holding up but it has only been a couple weeks...

I weighed mine and they are 23.5 ounces with the strap. They may feel a little weighty at times but I don't think other binoculars would weigh much less and these are waterproof (not tested yet). I love mine.

i wouldn't say they're weighted, they're more like resistant with a somewhat heavy feel.

They are not heavy at all. I wear these with or without socks. They are very comfortable and fold in half for packing.

They are padded equally throughout. It's not thick, but it is adequate to protect my shells. I even move my vintage drums around in them without any problems. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of exact weight, but yes, with the back-pack type straps it is very easy to carry.

J. Haley, the pad for the shoulder is nice and padded pretty comfortably. It really takes the weight off your shoulder when you wear it across the body. My camera with the battery pack and lens is pretty heavy and this strap takes off all the weight. I love it and highly recommend it. The padding is nice.

I am not sure of the wight, but they do not seem overly heavy or bulky. The strap is adjustable which is nice since my husband and I are not the same height. We take these backpacking to watch the stars or spot wildlife so they are not a burden on long treks. It s very easy to refocus quickly and with one hand if needed. We are very happy with these.

These straps are about 12 feet long and 3-1/2 to 4" wide. The shoulder harnesses are the same. I was lifting a bunch of tall cabinets and didn't need shoulder pads, although they were probably only about 200# each. I have moved, lifted and carrier a ton of stuff in my life and at $40.00 I wishthese were around as I would have bought these in a minute, even if I could have only used them once. They are well worth the money.

I don't know what the actual weight is; but by your question, perhaps you're wanting to see how much weight is if for you? Buy a shoulder strap if you've a great deal to do; preferably a padded one. The unit is not 'light' after a while and the shoulder harness/strap will come in quite handy. I anticipated the weight after a while and purchased one with the unit. Being 58 and the shoulders aren't that great anymore, the harness will help immensely. Cheers.

The padding are pretty good specially at the bottom of the lap top bucket. I usually carry my lap top "5.5 LB", 2 books and 1 big size notebook. I never had any problem with the straps.

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

It's not padded. It's a standard webbed cotton strap. I carry it cross chested with a Canon D60 and a 18-135 lens and a few other accessories and it doesn't weigh me down or dig into my shoulder.
