These black supports with cushioning offer comfortable use. When carrying heavy loads in a backpack, my shoulders would hurt, so attaching these to the backpack straps alleviates the weight and reduces the burden on the shoulders. I used these for several years during my student days, and they are in clean condition with no scratches or stains. They have been washed. Please note that they have been stored at home. - Brand: JFT - Color: Black - Design: Cushioned design - Application: Support Thank you for viewing.
