I’m talking about the pads you see on straps on bag like [this one](http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_01497487000P?vName=For%20the%20Home&cName=Backpacks&MessengerBags&sName=Backpacks&psid=FROOGLE01&sid=IDx20070921x00003a). It can have padding for comfort and/or rubber to prevent slippage.

What do you call this, and where could you buy it (online or otherwise)? Thanks.

I Googled “shoulder strap pad” and found plenty of links, including one at [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Franzus-TS-49SP-ErgoPad-Shoulder-Strap/dp/B000EVSFDE).
