Can anyone tell me, how long the straps are? Are they long enough to be used as a shoulder bag?

I bought this and love it. The straps are long enough to throw on your shoulder as a short shoulder bag, but since the base of the bag is kinda wide I don't usually carry it like that because it just feels awkward. But they are longenough to if you want to.

My 8 year old uses it and they are long enough for her to use as a shoulder bag. With that being said, if you're figure is petite then you should be able to. If your shape is average it won't work. Hope this helps.

Yes they are long enough to be a shoulder bag but I would prefer to hold it but it is still comfortable to be a shoulder bag.

These straps are about 12 feet long and 3-1/2 to 4" wide. The shoulder harnesses are the same. I was lifting a bunch of tall cabinets and didn't need shoulder pads, although they were probably only about 200# each. I have moved, lifted and carrier a ton of stuff in my life and at $40.00 I wishthese were around as I would have bought these in a minute, even if I could have only used them once. They are well worth the money.

I just tried it on as a back pack and it seems like it would work just fine. the waist strap buckled just fine and the shoulder straps felt good as well.

There is no one shoulder strap with this bag. There are two quite long handels which can be kept on a shoulder easliy but there is no way you can go over opposte shoulder.

No its not! Its so uncomfortable. It digs in your shoulder because its round, its not flat.... sorry I meant the shorter straps. The long one is ok, not padded like others say but its not bad.

Hard to say - the pack is 18-1/2 inches in length, but would hang down further when the straps are over your shoulder. I find it one of the most comfortable packs I've owned even when I have camera, lens, iPad, water. It is more narrow than most packs. But, I am 6'1".

The strap is 50 inches long. I wear it across my chest. I am a male, 6'2, and weigh 200 lbs. The bag should be comfortable to wear across your chest most people.

This is a guesstimate, as I don't have the bag with me, it was purchased for my Granddaughter. I am guessing it was approx 13 inches high X 12 inche's wide. The strap was perhaps 48 inches long (and adjustable).... hope that helps. It was perfect for my GD who is 16 yrs old.

strictly as a sling bag... i would definitely not do it. the padding on the strap is good, but for 10lbs and long period of time...? i would not take a chance... however, overall, it is a very nice bag!

It has adjustable shoulder straps for torso length. What I don't like about the bag is the zippers. I broke a zipper tab off before I even used it.

I believe it does matter if you want to use the yellow straps. I have only used this bag once so far and without the straps because a friend with our same brand umbrella told me our umbrellas are too tall. Admittedly I took her word and did not test it out the day we went to the beach. Our umbrellas are 7ft.

Strap is about 50 inches but cinches up to 26 and fits over my shoulder. I really like this bag and use it every work day! I get lots of compliments on it! Hope this helps.

I use it as a handbag. Its just big enough for my laptop and one book. If you were to use the strap it would be just like a laptop bag. I love mine!

Janice the straps are pretty long, but I would say it woud depend I guess on how large your waist is. My waist, is 41 inches and I have plenty of strap ends left. Hope this helps. Christina..

You should be fine. Measured the bag with a dollar bill (approx. 6 inches), since I have no ruler with me on the road. Plenty of slack in all 4 straps, even if I was off by a tad in my approximation. I have 2 of these. Works great, great price. Enjoy.

The actual strap (colored knit-material) is about 20" long. About 24" if the ends are adjusted as short as they' 'll go. Could extend to probably 30". Great quality. I really like it. Not bulky, soft material.
