A typical carrying strap, for example, a carrying strap for a rifle, golf bag, is constructed with a strap of leather or canvas as the primary load-bearing member and a wider and thicker layer of foam or other suitable padding placed between the strap and the wearer's shoulder. A typical carrying strap sometimes tends to slip or roll from the shoulder. Anti-slip carrying straps are available on the market. The anti-slip carrying straps available on the market tend to prevent slip in one direction, e.g., lateral, but not in other directions, e.g., longitudinal. Accordingly, there is a continuing need for a pad that prevents the carrying strap from slipping off the shoulder.
