Abstract
A foldable pad having a base member with resilient material to cushion strap exerted loads on the shoulder. A positionable member of the pad may fold along a fold line into overlying relationship both with the base member and with a strap segment in place thereon. Fabric closure material of the hook and loop type in place on the opposing faces of the members serves to maintain a fixed relationship between strap and pad while retaining the pad in closed configuration. Frictional elements on the pad prevent pad displacement along a strap segment.
