Can you comfortably wear this bag low(lower back/hip)? I will be using the bag for non-bike commuting

Yes . That is exactly the way I wear it and I am a small person. I do not use it for biking. I have a old small bag and decided to buy this custom new small size bag which is a little bit larger having more room which is great for traveling and walking around. I picked the colors so it took a couple extra days to get. I do love it and glad that I purchased my second bag from Timbuk2

Yes. I ride a bus and I walk down the isle without knocking someone in the head.

It's feels awkward when I where it on my hip but it is comfortable on my lower back.

Yes. I don't commute on a bike either and the bag is very comfortable to wear while walking or standing. Assuming that you wear it with the strap across your chest, and not hanging off your shoulder. The strap is very easy to adjust even while you wear it, it's one of the very nice features of all Timbuk2 bags. If you find that the bag is not sitting on your lower back or hip correctly, you can just adjust on the go.

I think it would be ok, the bag is roomy and well paded. Price could also drive your decision. Its not fashion.

With a heavy load it might become uncomfortable, I keep about 25 lbs (Almost 11 kg) worth of stuff in mine normally, that includes the 3L camelbak (Which weights about 8 lb's full). I can wear it a long time without issue. I'd say one of the reasons I got it was because if I needed something it's mega easy to access. I've not felt need to switch shoulders like with my old messenger bag. The strap is wide and padded a bit. But your hip shares the weight, not enough to be uncomfortable or to put your back at risk of pain or unnecessary stress.

Yes the shoulder padding is sufficient. I don't use it every day but I've been very satisfied with this bag as my choice for a non-leather bag.

Yes, it is indeed comfortable to carry coz your shoulder doesn't hurt due to its soft material.. I like putting it on my shoulder and easily swing it behind to grab something or carry the baby but unlike my previous bags, I don't feel any twitching or friction on my skin.. Loving it! :-D

Hi there, it is going to be a bit of a problem if you have a passenger, once the bag is installed your passenger will not have much room to rest their foot on The page itself, you may want to purchase longer pegs for the back. Once you install the bag you may prefer to leave the foot peg up or down I prefer to leave it down so the bag kind of rests on it. But if you are going to have a passenger often on your bike you may want to purchase the longer pegs. Hope this answer helps you out. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas Lisa Carey

Depends on you. If you don't want to carry around a full pack, or something that looks huge and floppy for just some day hiking, then yes. Otherwise... no?

Yes it really is a comfortable bag to carry. Also it may interest you to know that it had "fanny pack" capabilities. So you can wear it on your waist also. Have a blast at Disney!

Not at all, I've travel a couple of times with this bag and had a nice experience. It's light weight, bike is secure.

I purchased this bag and I am very happy with it. Handles are very comfortable. To answer your question. I carry laptop (HP255), I pad, makeup small pouch, scarf, and sometimes shoes (as i bike in the city). I have even put a helmet without a problem. I am petite, this bag doesn't appear big but when you need to make things fit its wonderful. Hope this helps. :)

That's a tight fit, but you should be okay. I love this bag though. Sturdy and durable. No flaws or issues since I've had it.
1529563
I'd say yes, as long as you don't need lots of "wiggle room". This is the best bag I've ever had...super light, and sturdy....

Yes, it will work for you. Actually it will help you how ever you choose to use it. You can carry on the front or back or even on your hip if you like. Whatever is most comfortable for you.

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.

Unfortunately no, I am also 5' 3" and it is much to big for me. It reaches from my nape to below mid-thigh. I would recommend a smaller bag as this one is longer than most.

It would probably be tight. I use this bag to carry my iPad and all of it's accessories.

No, definitely not comfortably. I'm 5'3", 115 lbs and this bag still feels pretty small. Maybe if you don't mind laying on your back, legs together, with your arms crossed (...like a mummy) and are an incredibly still sleeper.
