Do you want to relieve yourself when carrying a Kånken backpack with a heavier load? The shoulder pads add padding to the 25mm straps and relieve point pressure on the shoulder during longer routes. They are made of G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S with foam padding and are clipped with snaps; The central clip prevents the straps from shifting. The weight and texture of the material are key — the polyester and cotton blend gives a strong, durable surface that holds its shape and is not brittle. Maintenance remains undemanding: wringing and washing are not suitable, fine brushing and lukewarm water are sufficient, which extends the life of the padding and fit of the straps.
