shoulder pad

i also think that body build and shoulder size make a difference too... just pick which ever is more comfy and whichever you feel is safer i guess...

[QUOTE=Shyam;563]i use the bag generally in a messenger style sling across the chest pattern...
I actually think it makes the bag easier to access... and not to mention feels safer in crowded areas too..

but i guess its a personal preference... and its quite subjective..[/QUOTE]

i agree, slung across the chest is
more comfortable
easier to access
more view and room to access gear
and by far safer
