Left shoulder strap on Lowepro Aw 200 Slingshot
The strap is two inch webbing with a D ring sown on one end and a loop sown in the other. There are two triangular cutouts in female main waist buckle of the bag. It is pretty easy to thread a heavy duty split ring through the top cutout for attaching the strap to the bag. The strap is looped through the top handle on the bag, the end with the sown loop threaded through the D ring, and then the split ring threaded on the sown loop. Add a shoulder strap pad and it is very comfortable. The pad is a $15 black Timbuk2 bought at REI.
The split ring has been replaced with a tie wrap.
As both straps are attached to almost the same points, the bag retains the same functionality. The second strap evens the weight across the shoulder, but doesn't provide any more stability.
Putting on the bag is pretty much the same as before, the main strap is placed over the head and across the right shoulder. The bag is then rotated a bit around the front, enough to where the second strap can be easily grabbed and the left arm looped through. The second strap is used to swing the bag to the back while it is placed on the left shoulder.
For flipping the bag around to the front, grab the second strap at the main waist buckle and pull the bag around to the front. This can move the second strap off the left shoulder at the same time, but it isn't needed to secure the bag. Moving the left arm back a little helps keep the left strap on the left shoulder.
