How long is the strap that goes around the waist? I never trust this "one size fits all" stuff. I am about a size 3x... so that strap needs to be LONG.

Sorry Larissa but I don't think it would work for you. The previous comment says it is "very elastic" I would say it had some give to it but it is made of Neoprene so it is as elastic as putting on a wet suit!I have found that it works well for me to wrap it once around my thigh then around my hips. This allow the best sprort of the groin area. I needed it after a hip surgery and it worked well. Sadly I don't think it will work for you as I wear womens XL and using the previously described wrap method there is very little overlap.

I am a 3X and it is just right with a little to spare; you have to put it tight/ You also have to adjust it after wearing a while, but it does help keep hip pain down while doing things like sweep,vacuum etc. The tighter the better. I don't have it out right now or I would measure, but it is very long. It just slips and needs adjusting, but haven't found anything better. If worn over something like this picture, I think it would stay on really well- that I will try myself. Heat helps at night, too. Good luck! :)

In my opinion, the strap should be a little longer. I would prefer it to go down to closer to hip area.

The strap is too short to wear across the body. I extended it by adding the shorter strap to the long strap. It's still a little short, but it works.

The strap is adjustable. I'm 5'11" I can either adjust it to hit at my waist or even longer. Very nice product.

It stretches out pretty good, I would think it would fit. Not sure though. I wish they made one, that you could just stick to your skin with no strap.

Yes sizes are waist sizes. I thought it ran a bit small/tight, but then it's probably supposed to fit snug. If I gain any more inches around the waist, I'll have little velcro left to connect the strap.

I don't think they are that size specific. it seems that one size would fit all since the strap moves up and down.

yes, the strap has a binder so when you loop it in on itself you effectively adjust its total length. not hard to do but it will probably take some trial and error to make it fit the way you want.

I'm about a 32" waist and I just looked at my bag and strap.There are 2 plastic adjusters which may let out enough to fit your 42" waist.Maybe email the manufacture in CA and ask them.You could purchase it and maybe return it if it does not fit also....

Hi! I too am "un-petite", a 44 or so belt and I personally find it depends on where exactly you are measuring your waist and how marsupial like you might hang over the waist. That being said I can fully extend the length of the buckles and the belt is still loose. I can tell you I have travelled frequently with the bag and like it more and more. I recently bought a Vanguard 100 series carbon fiber tripod and ball head and the legs strap on easily and I'm not nailing people with it when I turn around while moving through airports. One thing I did notice about the bag is I have to be careful of the straps when the bag goes through X ray machine, they can get snagged on the rollers. I'm thrilled with the Flipside even more now that I'm using it more, very ergonomic and comfortable. With the Amazon return policy my advice is get one and see how you like it. Good luck.

I just ordered this bag about a month ago. The strap is about 7 inches long. It wraps around the rear bike rack and then there's a plastic belt-loop type thing the strap goes through on the opposite side of the bag. After going through the plastic loop, the strap folds back and sticks to the Velcro on it's underside. The two straps are about 1 1/2" wide and you can really pull them very tight so the bag is secure. It fits way more securely to my rear bike rack than I thought it would. I was afraid it would jiggle around and come off, but it does not. For the price, it's a great little bag. It isn't real big so be sure to notice the measurements on it.

I would probably try and find something a little smaller. I'm not tall by any means (5' 7'') but it is a bit constrictive. I wear a 29 waist and it fits but I definitely have to tighten it far down the Velcro.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

I too own this and love it. It best fits 15-17. I know the seller states the size is measured to the bottom of hip belt but I disagree. Best measurement is from strap to MID hipbelt which is 16- 16 1/2 so this should be perfect for you. You want the hip belt on your hips- not mid waist which is what would happen for those with torso lengths longer than 17" or so.

There is plenty of extra straps...too much straps in my opinion. The adjustable strap is about 28 inches long. I'm 5'6 and it is about the right size for me, but I'm replacing it with one that can hold a tri-pod when hiking.

Hi there! My waist is 37inches and I have a medium that fits and works amazingly! I believe that the company only makes small and medium for women, but the Velcro strap is fairly long so the size is adjustable as well as comfortable. :)
