Can these types of bags be worn diagonally across the chest? Idk, waist feels weird to me.

Hi there!Sure. You can. I even tried once to use it this way. Unfortunately I didn't like it. Mostly because the bag kept falling to the lowest point, just under my right arm. Which was quite annoying, because it kept hindering the swing of my arm. Maybe I should had fastened the belt a more. Regardless of that, that bag is really discrete and slim. Unless you run with a really tight shirt, you can place the bag under it, and no one will know you are using this pack. It really is that small. I usually use it this way, under my t-shirt.

I don't think that sounds very comfortable. It's more like a small, tight fitting fanny pack.

Diagonal like over one shoulder and under the opposite armpit? Yes, but that would probably feel worse. Or if you mean straight across your chest like you'd wear it around your waist just higher, I suppose. I was worried about how it would feel around my waist as well, and don't feel it at all when I run. It has efficient size adjustments, so you can make it tight enough so that it doesn't move when running. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. I wear it across most of the time traveling, and I love it. I highly recommend this bag. Great product!!!

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.

There is slight padding towards your back, but no padding towards the other compartments. If you need padding, but something else.

No! Very comfortable especially if you wear it across your body vs over one shoulder but either way you'll be fine!

I wear a med. shirt & a guy that has this same vest is a 2 x. I have the straps at the top as little as they will go. It is a little bulky around the shoulders on me. I just got it this year so I just figured it will take a little getting used to. I thought about taking it to a seamstress to get the top a little less bulky. I hope this helps.

i wouldn't wear it in any direction, only sent it back. i'll tell you this though, the protection plates zipped into place on at least one side and obviously different shapes so probably a no to your question but the zippers were junk and didn't stay together anyway.

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame.

Because the straps cross it would smash your chest. But I have seen guys wear baby on their back. Hip carry might work, but I've never tried. The big wide crossed straps and waist belt make my 25 pound kid feel like nothing, it's a good carrier.

Absolutely! Make sure you have the left bag on the left side and right on right etc...they are not labeled, but the support straps won't line up with attachment points otherwise. Enjoy! I love mine.

I just measured it and it MIGHT fit diagonally, but I recommend a bigger bag so you can put a case or other padding in the bag to properly protect a delicate item such as a laptop from a potentially jarring street commute.

It might! Unless yours is over weight, the place you may have an issue is in the front. I am pretty sure the girth straps have enough adjustment for you. Another problem you might have with how it fits is that how far down the bags lay. If they are too high the bags can slip off to one side.

You can configure it differently than pictured. I made mine cross behind my back and connects to my belt on the other side. It looks nice but is not comfortable for regular carry. Just a show piece. Pretty stiff.

No. They are not designed that way, the corners are too sharp and they don't come in reverse zippered pairs. However, if you are not overly large people, one bag should be big enough for both of you! These bags are big and warm and inexpensive.

It actually sits on my waistline. You could adjust it higher to accommodate the belt. My thought is buy one and give it a try. Even on a budget I was able to afford the bag. I recommend that you look the bag over when you get it. I got one with loose threads on it, but Amazon took care of it quick, fast, and in a hurry. Kudos to them. The bag I have now is my EDC bag. Hope it works for ya.

i just finished trying the set up you suggested (minus the vest) and found that when the packs are strapped to my sides at waist height the 3 inch bulge on either side was noticeable I add a sweat shirt and came to the conclusion that the only way the packs would remained concealed is if you like extremely baggy clothing. or wear a vest like they do in the military and police forces in which case the vest plus the packs would make you look very round (still need a not so baggy sweat shirt for this to work tho).

I wear mine across my chest. And the strap is adjustable! You'll love this iPad case!!
