Some people say that this bag is quite bulky when packed. Is it? And does things fall out the side pockets?

I love this bag! This bag is large with many pockets. It's benefit over other bags is you can fit a lot in it in an organized manner and still be able to reach in and get things. With my first child, we tried a more sleek bag with lots of compartments. It frustrated me. It could fit what I needed and I could get my hand in it. So yes, this bag is bulky but how can it not be. While it may be bulky, it is in a soft comfortable or way. I was concerned about the side pockets too. ... But I have not had anything fall out of them.

It isn't made to hold those types of bulky items. You could get a laptop in it, but remember, it is a Yoga bag, not a back pack. It is meant to hold a change of clothes, a Yoga block and a pair of shoes. Plus a few small items in the outside pockets.

I don't think it's too bulky, depending on how much you stuff in the slot. I keep my phone in my purse or back pocket.

Its a great comfy bag if you have a lot of gear, but it will get heavy if you load it up all the way. It doesn't look that big on you if you yourself are somewhat big. I believe it will fit into the carry on, its smaller then the small carry on suitcase.

It might fit in the side expanded pockets.I don't use the extended pockets much but I can fit sport shoes, clothes, towels etc.

It is padded all around, including on the bottom (but the padding isn't really any thicker on the bottom than on the sides.) Maybe I'm being too literal here, but I wouldn't drop it from the top of the bag to the bottom. But I wouldn't do that with any laptop with any bag. The padding on the bottom is about the same as the older, much less elegant Targus backpack this replaced -- so let's call it about average.But, honestly, if I was going to be dropping a laptop into the bag, I'd cut a piece of foam and put that into the bottom of the pocket.

this case DOES have a long side pocket on the other side of where these two pockets that expand out are....it's only closed by a piece of Velcro in the center though, fyi.

No, not at all. It's a good looking bag, get it and return it if u dot like. It's light and well builded. I looked many bags, and this one is the best by far. Check on YouTube someone did a review about the bag and brought on 2 different bags, that's also popular. I think after seeing that I knew what I needed. Good luck

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.

for me, i find it very comfortable. all depends what you like. i don't use pockets on inside of cover though, so that may be why i don't find it bulky. but i do love the case. it's well made and wears very well also. i've had it a long time. i just hope they still make it if i ever have to replace it. hope this helps with your decision.

I thought it was a bit bulky but a stuff sack might work. It's still an awesome sleeping bag though.

My Davis and Sanford Traverse travel tripod, when collapsed, will fit in the side pocket. The downside: it will eventually wear holes in the mesh if you don't have a protective bag. One other bug with this bag is the word Lowepro silk screened pin the back. It screams "expensive camera inside!" Depending on your destination you may not want to advertise this. Otherwise, this is a fantastic, very well thought out bag. Fits my Oly OMD EM5 with kit zoom, 12mm f2, Panasonic 20mm f1.7, Rokinon 7.5mm fisheye, filters, batteries, cleaning stuff, rocket air blower and an ipad.

Yes the bag is actually fairly big. It also expands a lot. I put a trunk box on also and I can carry all I need for a day.

It should fit without issue but that does depend on how packed your bag is. I would not suggest putting it in the side pocket since half of it would be out.

I am currently living abroad, so I cannot remember how all of the pockets are. However, I can tell you that many (if not all, my memory fails me), are side loading.

I think this bag would be big enough. It is on the bigger side. I am an over-packer and this bag worked just fine for me :) Lots of pockets too!

My dslr fits (lens down) along with two medium size lenses and a flash. But it won't hold much more. The side zip pockets arsn't big enough for a lens or flash. I use them to hold cords and battery charger. The front zip pocket, alsi good for holding filters, extra lens cap, a rsmots, etc. Won't hold anything bulky. Sounds like you'll be crowded with everything you listed. That said, it's an excellent bag and wdll worth thr money. I keep extra lenses, camera body and accessories that I don't use much in a large padded duffel which I'll take with me when I need it.
