AquaTech Monopod Grip/Shoulder Pad, Soft Feel, Neoprene and Polyamide Material, High Abrasion Resistance Wraps are designed by employing the principles similar to those used in medical pressure care: to provide pressure relief to bone and muscular prominences by maximizing surface area contact to the skin and spreadingload The fabric also aerates when in contact with the skin, and will not hold water, perspiration for instance, which could lead to rashes or blisters. The pad inside is made from a light, high quality, closed-cell foam, which is soft enough to maximize the surface area and spread the weight, but not too soft to cause the monopole legs to bottom out against the user's shoulder. The outer fabric is made from a Polyamide material which has exceptionally high abrasion resistance but at the same time, a soft feel. The combination of the inside rubberized grip surface and the adjustable Velcro tabs will ensure that the Wraps will not cause irritation to the user by sliding down the pole.
