The handle is only 8 in. high, thus an average adult would hand carry only.

I can comfortably sling it onto my shoulder but not across my body... Look at the two pictures that show a man and a woman using the bag, you can see exactly how long the strap is

I just got up and measured it - 40 inches from the floor. To put that into perspective, I am 6' 1" and the handle fits in my hand without any leaning or slouching. It is just a wonderful bag.

It's kind of a hand held thing. I just measured it for you; it's about 7-ish inches in length. My husband can run it over my shoulders and back and it isn't cumbersome at all. Our last one I had was really long and heavy. This one is very light.

The one I have is 3 1/2 inches long. Works fine for me. Don't really see the advantage of a longer handle. You don't need a death grip on it or a lot of leverage.

The telescoping handle makes it longer than the length it is when it is shipped. I am tall so I wanted something the did not require that I be bent over to work.

I haven't been bothered by the handle length.My first one so I just accepted it and got to like it.The slippery handle was a problem.Someone on line suggested wrapping a couple of rubber bands around handle.Worked great.In fact the resulting wider grip is also a plus for me.

When carrying weapons on your back the Deluxe has better weight transfer. Length is no issue.

it has a padded strap to carry over the shoulder or across the shoulder/neck but nothing for both arms

well the handle is only shorter by .3 inches and to me that doesnt really make a difference to me, what i now realize about the tanto is that the sheath is crap and i shouldve gotten the drop point because it comes with a better sheath.

I never tried to carry it on my shoulder. Pulling it on wheels didn't work very well, so I ended up carrying the bag using the 2 shorter straps.

Here is only about 1 and 1/2 feet long and may stretch to approx. 3 feet. It is not that long; however, it is made for you to carry with a shoulder strap???

Hi. The strap is 30" total at its shortest and almost double that at its longest. I carry it on my shoulder at the shortest length and it it hip length. This is a very sturdy bag and carries quite a lot! I really like it. Jill S

I don't have a problem using it. My wife is 5'6" and she uses it all the time, but she prefers using a shoulder strap with it.

Not sure about that? But it seems plenty long enough. Maybe their just talking about the silver part of the handle is eight inches before the black muddler part is added on? This is worth buying.

It was comfortable for my 5' 10" daughter in law (she's the tallest in our family). It would not be hard to add an extension if you needed it, either! I honestly don't remember exactly how long the handle was, sorry!

I bought this for my husband. He says there is an estimated 3-4" strap across the back side which should allow one to slip it over a pull-up handle of a larger piece of luggage.
