ZINZ Bag Shoulder Strap, Padded Adjustable Shoulder Strap Replacement

This shoulder strap is easy to adjust, has metal components, and the design looks like it will last for years. The seatbelt like webbing for the strap is smooth, and it is continuous from end to end. The bag I use came with a strap that relied on the padded section for part of the integrity of the strap. As the material degraded the strap stretched and became uncomfortable. This strap has the webbing behind the padding thus supporting the padding so I won't have that issue again. On the cons, the padding does compress after a bit and when using it all day I notice that it really doesn't stay as comfortable. If you only carry a bag from the car into the office it should be great. Or even commuting on bus or train. If you have your bag with you all day like a brand rep at a convention, this might not have enough cushion. It's a nice strap that meets my needs and I use it for several hours a day.

So this turned out to be just the alternative option I was looking for as a non-traditional bass clarinet strap! I like to use a strap when playing so that it frees up my hands for using phone, marking music, etc. as well as to prevent dropping. I found that the typical neck straps were uncomfortable, and also too short. This is a perfect solution, just make sure to get the 79" one. Some great things about it- its super adjustable, as both sides are adjusted independently. That means the shoulder pad is stationary once adjusted. I have the sides adjusted so that one is shorter than the other, so that when in use the shoulder pad is actually at my shoulder. I just clipped the two ends together, and then clipped to my BC. The only issue is that the clips are wide, and won't fit in my instrument's ring. However, I just took a keyring clip I had and added it on. This is SO much more comfortable than a neck strap. It gives plenty of room to stabilize it but still move around. I just thought I'd share to anyone else who might benefit from this use. The strap is made of seatbelt-like material so it seems durable for the long haul.

This thing is sturdy and works well. The strap on my gym duffel bag went missing so I purchased this as a replacement. It is really nice that the pad is centered in the middle of the strap. The previous one slid back and forth and I never realized how much I had to adjust it. The pad is very comfortable but admittedly I’m seldom carrying it for more than 15 minutes. Everything seems well built and sturdy. Only knocking off a star because it seems a tad overpriced for what it is

I needed a replacement strap for a duffle bag. This strap is really nice, comfortable, well made and I like that you can adjust the length on both sides of the shoulder pad. However, I had to return it because I'm only 5'1'' and the shortest you can make the strap is around 37", a little too long for me. I wish they had one that could be a few inches shorter.

Ideally I would have liked if they had a chocolate brown color, but I got silver/gray so that I could use it with either light or dark colored bags. I really like that there are two adjustment thingies on both sides of the strap, so there's no issue with where the padding is sewn. I previously had bought from the same brand, a different strap that was not sewn-in, and it migrated a lot, so I really like this design way more because it is stable. This strap is ideal for heavy bags due to the thick padding. I use it for my expanding duffle bag, which can get heavy (airline carry-on size) when it is fully expanded, but also when it's lightweight and minimized to purse-size, it's great because it is not flimsy and doesn't migrate on my shoulder, so my bag is more stable.

Great strap. I looked for a while for a good strap that was strong and would last. I've had this long over a year, and I travel for work. I stuff my bag, and this thing is not only super comfortable and adjustable, but it's strong. I highly recommend it.

Good but not great for some reason the straps get longer in their own after making it the shortest length

2020 update - I purchased my 2nd Zinz strap just recently to replace the first one I purchased last year - the first one from last year lasted since then and recently broke. The weak link with these straps (including the original one that came with the bag which was different but also very robust) is the swivel joint that connects the clasp to the D ring that attaches to the bag loop. The clasp on the Zinz strap is very well made, but the swivel joint will eventually wear out as it grinds on the connecting ring (see photos of the old Zinz strap above) due to the weight of the bag (about 15-20 pounds including a 6 pound laptop) The clasp will eventually slip through the D ring hole and the bag will fall to the ground suddenly. The new one I just purchased is nice and solid so hopefully I will get another year. Lifespan can be increased by lightening the bag as much as possible. So, I am still giving it a 5 star rating - still a well made product...but all products have their limitations no matter how well made. I also like the wide choice of colors to match whatever application it is needed for. 2019 review... High quality, well made - used as a replacement strap for a nice leather laptop bag I bought 2 years ago - after 2 years of rigorous daily use, the original shoulder strap (NOT this brand) got frayed and actually one of the metal buckles snapped - this new strap did the trick. Hopefully this new one lasts longer but I would buy another when the time comes.

El único pero que le pongo es que es fijo el sostén acolchonado que va al hombro, pero entiendo que es para bolsas o artículos donde no es necesario el movimiento. En mi caso lo quería para sostener al hombro un estuche de trombón y debido a que el instrumento es grande y debe de cargarse más en forma vertical pues no coincidía el sostén acolchonado con el hombro para cargarlo cómodamente , así es que lo resolví adicionando el cojín movible de el sostén anterior. Finalmente muy contento con el artículo.

I'm very happy with the shoulder strap . It's clearly well made and robust.

Excellent padding. Excellent quality overall

Hat meine gute alte Tasche gerettet. Macht einen stabilen Eindruck und trägt sich auch bei gut gefüllter Laptop Tasche bequem.
