I have a Lowepro Zoom toploader that i like to use when i'm packing light but I don't like the strap it came with, it's very uncomfortable. Can anyone suggest one that is as comfortable as a Sun-Sniper or Black-Rapid strap that I can attach to the toploader? I have the sun-sniper strap surfer so would like to use this on it too. Or should i just get another bag with a better strap?

Hi Bora,
I have had the same problem with some LP BAG (<edit) straps and replaced them. My favourite is a Tamrac with a suede-leather pad on it. They make them for cameras and bags--2 different straps.
Sorry, I don't have a link.
(I also have an assortment of Think Tank bag straps, and LowePro bag straps. I hate having slippery straps that I need to hold to keep a bag or camera on my shoulder. The Tamrac was inexpensive, and works better.)
UpStrap makes a bag strap; I have not tried theirs.

I have added Domke Postal Pads to bag straps that are uncomfortable; I also have added Billingham Pads to my Billingham bags. They work well. I live in Canada. The cost of the Domke PP is extremely high here. I ordered all but the BillyPads from B&H or Adorama when I needed something else, to keep the shipping costs in line...

Found a link!

This is for a Tamrac BAG (<edit) strap with a great suede pad. Very comfortable. It doesn't slip off my shoulder!

Hope this helps.

(pad is brown; I haven't found one with a black pad, yet.)

I LOVE my Carry Speed sling strap! It has nice padding so my 1D with 70-200 feels SO much lighter.

That's what the OP wants the strap for....it's a top loading bag.
I've wondered whether anyone uses a sling strap for bags...but as far as I know, they don't.

My TopLoader was purchased for skiing. I use a strap that came with the bag to use it as a Torso Bag. Where it in front of me...
