Ergonomic Soft Goods Strap Development

I’m developing a premium adjustable body-worn strap and am looking for a soft-goods product developer, industrial designer, or engineer with experience in wearable ergonomics, straps, bags, or similar products. I am not looking for a tech-pack designer or CAD illustrator at this stage. I need help determining the ergonomic, material, construction, and adjustment approach before the final tech pack is created. The goal is a slim, elevated, fashion-forward strap that naturally conforms to the body and remains comfortable during prolonged wear. I do not want a bulky padded, athletic, backpack-style, or guitar-strap appearance. The challenge is to achieve comfort and effective pressure distribution while maintaining a refined, minimal profile. The strap will also require adjustability across multiple wearing lengths while preserving a clean appearance. I need guidance on: * comfort and pressure distribution * natural body conformity * material and construction recommendations * thickness, flexibility, and structure * edge comfort * adjustment-system design * durability and manufacturability * prototype recommendations Material selection is still open and should be guided by comfort, durability, appearance, and manufacturability. Initial scope: review the concept and provide ergonomic, material, construction, and adjustment recommendations that can later be incorporated into a technical design and prototype. Please include examples of previous bags, straps, wearables, slings, backpacks, or similar body-worn soft-goods products where comfort, fit, or load distribution was an important part of the design.
