Customer Reviews

the lesser of two evils
Getting a bag in extra large bag in UK is a bit of a mission impossible. After finally ordering one from the EU It arrived with no shoulder strap. Any of the larger bags should have them as standard due to the extra weight to be carried.

Used a padded shoulder strap from an old Nike messenger bag to see if it was worth the trouble and expense of getting a padded shoulder pad. Found the Nike shoulder pad done the trick.

Located the non slip version in a local cycle shop, and purchased the non slip padded shoulder strap.

The non slip does what it says, stays were it is with a bag loaded with 10-15 kg on a 11 mile trip. The down side is after 7 miles it starts hurt. My old Nike strap does not hurt, but slips every few miles.

It boils down to the lesser of two evils, or pain. The pain of the padded strap or the pain of falling of my bike due to my bag slipping to the side at speed when taking a corner. So I guess its ok

Timbuk2 Ballistic Strap Pad
Well made but poorly desingned. There is no anti slip so the strap keeps sliding off your shoulder. Don't buy it!
It works
This is a shoulder pad. It attaches to the strap on your bag and pads your shoulder. Mission accomplished!


A Must-Have Upgrade for the Commute 2.0
This pad should probably have been the stock pad on the Commute 2.0 messenger bag. As there is no way to attach a cross-strap to the Commute 2.0, the rubber grip pad is necessary to help stabilize the bag while riding. With the rubber grip pad, my bag hardly ever slips during my daily bicycle commute.

The rubber pad also has a much nicer gel-like material on the inside, rather than the hard foam used in the stock pad. The end result is a pad that stays on your shoulder and feels a whole lot more comfortable to boot.

About Manhattan Portage
There was a simple philosophy that Manhattan Portage set out to achieve back in 1983: "A Bag For Everyone." And twenty-five years later it is certainly ringing true. From Montreal to Melbourne, Osaka to Oslo, and Stockholm to San Francisco, Manhattan Portage's line of bags are indeed everywhere. Despite their sweeping global popularity, Manhattan Portage remains loyal to their NYC roots. This 25-year lifespan in the volatile fashion world, and in a town that embraces the designer-of-the-moment but does not suffer has-beens, is no small feat. Manhattan Portage has been able to avoid becoming another fleeting fad and withstand the test of time because their bags do.

By innovating and expanding their line to accommodate the range of uses their bag owners' demand, the Manhattan Portage line has developed to serve all walks and runs of urban life. Whether you are a DJ transporting your spinning equipment, a cell phone-toting investment banker, a starving student hauling pricey textbooks, or a messenger racing to deliver documents on time, Manhattan Portage has a style for you. (Even if, like many New Yorkers, you fit into two or more of these categories!)

With their red logo, 1000 denier Cordura nylon, Delrin hardware, and a style selection including laptop bags, messenger bags, backpacks, and more, Manhattan Portage bags don't hide and won't be going away any time soon. The emergence of competitors and innumerable imitators hasn't fazed them, but rather left Manhattan Portage celebrating this ultimate sign of trend triumph. Although Manhattan Portage has received press in The New York Times, People, Newsweek, and the Village Voice, their media coverage is not what has fueled their resounding success. It is their versatility, durability, and adaptability that has allowed them to survive the ebb and flow of mercurial fashion tides.

The Smoke 2 Shoulder Pad is born of 1960’s space age technology. Shock absorbing poly-filament weave technology developed for NASA’s monumental journey to the moon has been re-engineered 40 years later to create Shock Doctor’s ImpactWeave Composite material. Interwoven poly-filament yarns create a lightweight, shock absorbing composite, that doesn’t retain moisture. The inner surface is lined with an anti-microbial mesh. The integrated, yet removable inner lining is a ventilated, lightweight and removable cushion layer. The Shock Doctor Smoke 2 is a total system of dual layer protection, with our tested anatomical design for an unobtrusive close fit, removable articulating shoulder caps and with patented Heart-Gard™ chest protection. We aren’t blowing smoke, just smoking the competition.
Now, bra inserts, shoulder pads called the iPads!

Coconut Grove’s president, Hylton Karon described the products as “you know, little quickies you ladies use to enhance.”

The Markham, Ont.-based company, which manufactures bras under the brand name The Natural, owns the iPad trademark in the United States.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t register it for electronics or we’d all be retired,” the Globe and Mail quoted Karon as saying on Thursday.

However, Coconut Grove has no ambitions to go up against Apple in court. In fact, Karon said the publicity is good.

While his company “never made any intimation of being related to the big Apple ,” Karon said he did want to capitalize on the awareness of the i-brand.

“It’s i-everything these days. It’s just a play on what’s become so familiar,” he said.

And for the time being, he will continue marketing his iPads, which come in sizes B to DD, to insert in bras to give a woman’s figure a bit of boost. (ANI)
