D3 Sling Pad

The thin foam really surprised me—it keeps the pad low-profile under a jacket but still spreads the weight evenly on longer carries. Anti-microbial layer is a nice touch for sweaty days.

Took this on a weekend trip and barely noticed it was there—the thin foam spreads the weight perfectly without any of that bulky padding feeling. Anti-microbial layer is a nice touch too, no weird smells after a sweaty day.

I was worried the thinner foam would dig into my shoulder, but this pad spreads the weight so well I forgot I was carrying a load. It's slim enough to slip into my pack without adding bulk, and the antimicrobial layer has kept it fresh even after sweaty summer hikes.
