    Super smooth

    I got the 1 inch shoulder strap and I really like how smooth it feels. It's comfortable to wear and the connectors are easy to clip on and off my packing cube and other small TB bags.

    Tom Bihn Shoulder Strap and Mystery Pouch

    The strap was ordered with the mystery pouch. However, it can be used on other bags that I have as well. Everything that I received from Tom Bihn has been made with attention to detail and superb craftsmanship.

    Love this strap

    I have an older Empire Builder whose strap was toast, after all these years the bag has held up great. Although it was time for a new strap and this new Absolute Strap is far better than the original. Much like the original it's got that little flex and give which I love, but is strong enough to hold my bag up on my shoulder. The extra width allows for easier weight distribution and comfort!

    Best Shoulder Strap Made

    I've bought several of these over the years to replace other straps. A little bit of stretch, wide on the shoulder. Perfect. Highly recommended.
