What kind of padding is in the shoulder straps and waist belt?

I agree with Ivan... not super thick but very sufficient. I have found this bag, along with the straps to very comfortable. I have it pretty well loaded when I use it and will wear it for hours and I love it.

It's not super thick padding like a Tenba, but it is sufficient if you are not loaded down. When cinched up properly it is comfortable and conforms to the contours of your back and you can move fast with it. This is a one-three day adventure pack with a room for a DSLR. It is not designed primarily as a comprehensive camera bag.

There is no leather in its construction, to my understanding; the strap is nylon and the shoulder pad is some gel stuff wrapped in what I assume is polyester. The hooks are metal. Overall, it's durable.

It's neither mesh or leather. The outer and inner fabric is 100% polyester. And yes, there is padding/armor in the shoulder, elbow and back.

the bag itself is a backpack with back padding, shoulder straps and a belt.

The shoulder straps have decent padding for me. I travel with this bag using the shoulder traps and I carry an iPad , a 10" Acer laptop and occasionally a Nook. I love this bag.

The belt is not padded. That being said .. it is nice and wide, handles all the way around and from the standpoint of use ... it has saved my life.

Yes, both the shoulder and hip straps are adjustable via friction clips similar to what you find on most standard backpacks. (Just look at a school backpack) The padding does not move, but you would have to expand it pretty big to cause a problem. Something to note, the waist strap is just that. It isn't really loadbearing, it's just to keep it from flopping around.

There is no padding in this bag. The bag is a thin, lightweight material. We gate checked our stroller as well. We didn't have any issues with the bag.

The straps are metal and I have not had any issues with them. No slipping or cutting into my shoulders. It is a nice suit top and I ordered it in a size 12. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, this is exactly what I have, as the pic shows. Padded shoulder straps are on the one I have.

Honesty, I don't know. I cut off the waist strap because it seemed silly and was in the way. I have had the backpack for over a year and have gotten good use out of it. So far, so good.

Its front and back adjustable straps can be increased to reach 28 and 1/2 inches from the shoulder padding that sits on the shoulder to the bottom of the M.O.L.L.E. webbing. With some adjusting on the rear waist strap, I measure approximately 49 inches (including the buckle length) as the max you can increase it to. I can't give you an answer with that but hope it will help you with deciding it yourself.

The waist adjusts with a velco mesh. There are straps that go between the legs which are a buckle and velco adjustment. I don't think this is intended for weight lifting. Not sure of the material type; it should be on the product description.

There's a chest strap as well as a padded waist strap. The more I use it the more I like it.

When you say "protected" do you mean padding? If so no that back has mesh/strap cover.

Shoulder strap only, and it is included. It is a holster-style, but it does not have a belt loop on the back so it can't be worn as a holster.
