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.

Depends on how much stuff is in it and your style. People usually wear across back because it's not a purse and can bike with it on that way but whatever suits you works.

Hi Ryan, you can definitely fit a LOT in this bag. I would go for it -- it's great for hiking and moving around because you can wear it as a backpack, and depending on where you're going, it may be better that it doesn't have wheels in case the roads aren't paved.

I don't have the bag with me at the moment, but I can wear it comfortably like a messenger bag and it's adjustable. I'll have to measure when I get home. :)

Hi Cris, I love this bag! Due to how small it is, how well it holds to my bike and the room inside of the bag due to its height, I love my bag! I feel sure it will work great for you.

No, it's too heavy and too bulky. Spend a little more and get a higher quality bag.

As a bike commuter, i do notice when padding is too thin. The Atlas has been comfortable. Support is thicker (~0.5" extra pad) in the lumbar region. Works for me.

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

yes it is but as with other bags, the base could do with more padding in my opinion. Great and VERY comfy bag though... i actually bout this and a swiss gear because i couldnt decide but this is very comfy on the shoulders

I would say no, It would be fine for an occasional commute, but for a regular 15 mile commute no. There is only one gear, and it is low so hills are quite a workout. and the seat is very firm and the tires are 20 inch so there is no suspension so you feel the road. If you are going to regularly commute 15 miles get one with a more comfortable seat and larger tires.

only with the side pockets the main mesh its tight squeeze but possible. but too tight for easy access.it held supplies for a 105 mile bike ride no problem nuk tablets power bars and tools with a patch kit.over all not a bad forward bag and for the price it is worth it.

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, it is. I am 5'9 and the bag hits my hip on the shortest loop. The leather is soft and marks up easily.

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 is fine .. it is covered the half bottom of the back not fully with cushion, this bag if i rate it should be 9.9999 .. My only concern is the handle on the top not think enough to grasp it in comfortable way , but rather than this it EXCELLENT..

I would say no. Great bag, but not designed for long distances or heavy loads.

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.
