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.

That's a tight fit, but you should be okay. I love this bag though. Sturdy and durable. No flaws or issues since I've had 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 :-)

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 don't feel like this bag is heavy at all, but hopefully you'll get more answers from others to get more of a general idea.

It's comfortable for me and I don't usually heavy stuffs. My son is 19 months old now, so things in the bag are a bottle water, diapers, few snacks, changing clothes, and some tools (spoon, fork, mat and bowls) to eat outside. hope this will help you.

Comfort-wise and ability to hold it yes. Assuming it is long enough to be comfortable for you there won't be any issues with this handling the weight!

I use the 12 as a daily carry bag on my motorcycle to work, and I carry it around all day. It is plenty big for my computer, a pair of shoes, lunch, and the administrative and personal care necessities. The 24 would be way too much for me unless I was also packing a another pair of shoes and a gym bag. It is pretty heavy duty in construction. For rain, I recommend adding something to keep it and the contents from getting sloppy. I have not tested the degree of waterproofing.

I am 6' and 185 lbs. I fit comfortably in this bag. I think you will find it tight.

If you have small items then you could get away with it. If your a large person (tall etc) then you'll find that your pushing it. I have to be honest it's one of minor issues with the bag, I'd love a bigger compartment / main bag.

If you are the type who carries around a lot it might be ok for you. For me it just seemed like a bag I'd use for a day where we would be out of the house all (more diapers than normal, extra clothes, etc) day as opposed to just our normal routine.

Probably don't want to. A co-worker has one similar and his bag is loose, kind of wobbly... Its from caring too many things in it. Its a small, tight little bag for just the small stuff. I carry my MacBook Pro 13", iPad 10", external HD, Mouse and a few styluses. Anything more is too much.

I had this bag break, I don't remember how severely and you're correct about the zippers. I did carry lots in this backpack (~25 lbs) so normal usage probably won't hurt it too much.

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.

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

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

It would be tight. If you had othet bulkyvitems like a large text book, the zipper might be strained too much and rip. if it is a thin 17" you might be fine.
