No. Once it's on there you don't notice it at all. I've done all day XC rides with it and urban
freeride stuff with jumps and drops. Very stable. On my Camelbak Lobo there is a thin strap running
the length of the shoulder pad and is tacked down in a few places. Attached here and it doesn't
slide up and down the shoulder strap.
