Would the strap on this bag be too long for someone who's very short (5'0 ft)?

I'm 5'2" and it falls right at my hip. It's really comfortable for me to wear.

I would say yes. My 5'2 mother tried it on over the holidays and felt it was too long for her torso. She felt it could be professionally altered though. It is a great bag!

I'm 5'3" and it's actually a hair short for me. It doesn't fall on my hip like I would like, but just above. Hope that helps!

Definitely. It's only 20 pounds. I'm only 5'8" but I wear it like a back satchel and ride around town bumpin tunes. If it included a 2nd strap it could be made easily. Only thing is it would still have to hang horizontally, so it's tough getting through doorways with it on =)

I suspect it would be a little on the long side, but not so long/large that it's uncomfortable. I've put this bag on my 4' 8" daughter and it's still a little big. I'd recommend finding your torso length (YouTube) to know for sure. This bag runs about 16", but keep in mind you probably won't be loading that much weight into it, so it won't be as important if it's not your exact size. Hope this helps.

Seems unlikely that the bag will be too long. The issue will be not having the cross bars and securing the bag front to back. The bag is pliable and could be conformed to fit a smaller area.

I don't have it with me to measure & answer - but I'm 5'7" and the strap is long enough for me to wear cross-body even when loaded with camera & gear.

Hi! I too am "un-petite", a 44 or so belt and I personally find it depends on where exactly you are measuring your waist and how marsupial like you might hang over the waist. That being said I can fully extend the length of the buckles and the belt is still loose. I can tell you I have travelled frequently with the bag and like it more and more. I recently bought a Vanguard 100 series carbon fiber tripod and ball head and the legs strap on easily and I'm not nailing people with it when I turn around while moving through airports. One thing I did notice about the bag is I have to be careful of the straps when the bag goes through X ray machine, they can get snagged on the rollers. I'm thrilled with the Flipside even more now that I'm using it more, very ergonomic and comfortable. With the Amazon return policy my advice is get one and see how you like it. Good luck.

The strap is nearly 1 meter long from one end of the bag to the other... Hope this helps. Assaf

Hello, the strap is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet, i am also 6' 4" and find it is ok for short term use. the carry handle is a little bit better.

The short answer is "maybe." Definitely not straight out of the box. The length of one (they come as a pair) is 12 in. from tip of hook to end of strap (not including clip) at its shortest. If you had the skill and the tools it could be possible to shorten the strap but it would still be ~6.5 in. (guesstimate) including clip for one strap. After modification it may not work for a smaller person. Won't know until somebody tries it.

Yes. My strap on the long side is 50 inches. There is another 5 inches on the short side with the stationary clasp. I hope this helps!

The way I have it set, the strap is 48 inches long. I wear it cross body and the bag hangs just below belt level. I'm male and about 5' 9" tall. Hope that helps.

It probably would. It is fairly roomy compared to many other mummy bags. You might have a bit of a problem with the length if you wanted to wrap up using the drawstring in the cold but this is not a bag for really cold weather so it may not be an issue. I'm 5'9" and it has a lot more room than my Northface cats meow bag.

I don't think this would be any problem. You can adjust the length of the straps to fit accordingly your body size. I use very much this bag, the old big and bulky I have I only use as storage to my lens and accessories.

The straps are long enough to go over your shoulder. Like long purse straps but more heavy duty. I am 5'6" and if I hold the straps in my hand the bag is close to the ground but does not touch or drag. It's close, maybe have a few inches clearance.

Mary the strap is about 52" long and is adjusted by a plastic buckle that is very easy to use. I would recommend this bag to you. You may find it in person at BestBuy.

You can shorten the strap to have about a 15 inch drop. Keep looking, this bag is not great.

The strap is adjustable. I think it should work, but can't say for sure on someone that small.
