Review on πŸ“¬ Domke 725-310 FA-031 Black Shoulder Pad for U.S. Post Office by Gina Putnam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's overrated in my opinion

I bought this after reading all the positive reviews about Revain. While this isn't a bad product, it certainly doesn't live up to its rating either. First, is it convenient? Yes, it's better than having nothing. How convenient is it? I would say 3 out of 5. And that justifies my rating. A bit of context; I bought it for my camera bag where I carry a camera, a compact camera, two or three lenses and a few other camera accessories. Total weight about 10-15lb.Pros.1. It provides an extra cushion (that's what it's supposed to do)2. Velcro is really strong and can hold the item well3. The upper part is rubber so the strap doesn't move. Cons 1. The upper rubber part is attached to the lower part with some kind of glue, and opening and closing the velcro actually separates the upper part from the lower part.2. It is heavy and much larger than it appears in the picture3. The pillow itself is not very soft.4. The depth is uneven so you can only wear the strap one way unless you undo the velcro and flip it over.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
