regarding the size, does it refer to the straps or the smaller /larger bag itself?

With all packs, size always refers to the hip belt and straps (which sometimes includes their placement relative to one another as well). The ***volume*** refers to how much the pack can hold. All sizes of the Talon are 33 liters.

It ***might***. However, I don't have the bag anymore so I can't measure it for sure. It's something like 4" by 3" by 1" as I recall.

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 bags come in several sizes. The small is definitely too small. My small has a main compartment about 16" long and a slightly smaller computer compartment. I forget where, but you can find a listing of sizes on the net, maybe at manufacturer's site.

Hi Emmy, it is smaller than a lot of the handbags I've seen. If your not carrying an obvious "purse" I think they would just let it go as your purse. I really love mine for travel.

The package contains two straps, one long (about 18") and one short (about 12"). There are instructions in the package about sending in for a different size if needed.

If you mean how far they stick out from the body, it varies. The side ones are pleated and therefore are narrower on the bottom then the rest of the length. If that's what you need to know ill measure them when I have the bag in front of mean. I do want to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how large the bag is...huge

The overall bag size is the same. The difference between the sizes is the distance between the hip belt and the shoulder straps on the 'backpack' feature. A small/medium bag will be more comfortable for somebody less than around 175cm (5'9") in height, while a medium/large bag will be more comfortable for taller people.

Bag itself might be slightly big, but straps can adjust to you height so not a big deal.

There is an external pocket that rests against your back which holds a waterproof cover for the bag, maybe that is why the external dimensions are slightly larger? I have the backpack and it is great! Light weight, comfortable straps/back padding and holds a TON!

I think the 3 inches is a front to back measurement of the bottom of the bag. It will hold lots of stuff and i have packed it to where it is too heavy and have now moved on to a smaller bag. It works great if you want something just a bit smaller than a backpack that you dont wear on your back.

Definitely the smaller one! That's the main reason I went with that size over the large one better for carrying as well!

Don't know what they are referring to. My bag measures 7" across the top opening.

It's been a while since I used it. I believe it is one size fits all. But both straps are very adjustable. It fits me well, while two large ones from other brands are still small for me.

I just measured the Walmart bag against a Garvey bag - they appear to be the same size.

The strap that goes around the chest has a buckle on both ends. just have the "back" side pre-buckled and then buckle the front side after you put the shoulder pack on. the size does not matter.

Actually, neither one. The dimensions of the bag (length and width) are the size of the bag when it is empty, laying flat on the floor. For instance, the extra large bag, listed as 50" x 30", is actually 48" long x 18" diameter when fully stuffed. The stated measurements, while true, are a bit misleading, since they don't really convey the size in a useful manner.
