I'm planning to put about 20-25 lbs in this bag, will in be uncomfortable to carry all day?

No! Very comfortable especially if you wear it across your body vs over one shoulder but either way you'll be fine!

I don't think you will be comfortable carrying that amount if weight for long periods of time unless you supplement the existing padding, which is quite firm.

I'm a 30-ish woman in pretty good shape. I find that kind of load in my bag is not comfortable for long periods. A backpack would distribute the weight more equally.

The bag itself can carry that much but I would think that it would be uncomfortable. There is a padded shoulder strap but I 25 lbs would be a bit to carry all day.

Yes. Tight, but the bag opens pretty wide. I carried my bass drum pedal easily. Good luck.Bob

THIS bag will work for you! I got it for my son to go on a trip where the temp got down to 20 at night and they were in cabins, he was very comfortable.

I've had it loaded for a dayhike for my wife an I (lots of water, some food, rain gear, first aid, etc) with no concerns whatsoever. I think unless you're planning on hauling bricks, you'll be just fine. I would have felt comfortable with it carrying twice the weight I'd given it, but I think it would become uncomfortable for the carrier. The pack isn't designed for very long and very heavy.

I wear XL and I could fit at least 20 in one bag... It can hold some clothes...

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

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame. Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort.

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

Definitely. The bag is a softside, so it will flex to accommodate whatever you put in it. I've put a couple of boxes of 20-gauge in the inner pocket without discomfort or causing problems to the bag.

Yes, my husband carries it with him everywhere and hasn't experienced any discomfort. It definitely fits comfortably in his pocket.

Definitely. With the rain coat in the bottom it creates a decent 3 inches of padding. Unless you plan on checking the bag you should be fine.

You know I am not that big. I am 5'11 and 200lb.I fit quite nicely. Your size doesn't seem tobe in the wide area but more tall. I think you will be able to fit but not sure how comfortable you will be. But the bags are different sizes. Being the inside one the smallest. The outer and middle bag is quiet large. I used it with all three bags. Hope I helped with your question.

I wouldn't put more than 20lbs of gear in this pack. This pack is really only meant for day excursions.

I took my Maya on RAGBRAI last year, I carried about 50-65lbs all week without any problem. If you are planning to use the red bag that comes with it though, I suggest not to overflow it with stuff. It tends to rip pretty easy.

Noooooooo. This bag is weak too. Plus, it hurts to carry bc of the straps. I wouldn't reccomend it.

I use it daily for work and have not had any problems as of yet. The pattern doesn't even have any wear to it...but it would also depending on what your carrying. If its overstuffed with books and notebooks, it might be different. Best of luck :-)

The strap can be tightened to about 26 inches. I have mine that way to carry it.
