19 inches seems really tall - does that include the loop? I'm 5'3" and and wondering if this bag is too big for me.

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

Hi Sharon.They are not long enough, you need to use the shoulder strap but I can tell you it's a great bag!!! I work in the accessories enviroment and I bought at least 10 of these bags for friends and sisters and I have 2 of them: it's the most convenient bag I found around for this price, believe me. I'm italian and I bought them in us and I asked later to my US colleagues to buy them on Amazon because they are not available in Europe; I tell you this to show how much I find it convenient. The Tote (I already have it) is more banal

This is a very nice backpack, but you might find it a bit small. I am 5'11" and 195 lbs. It fits me comfortably, but it doesn't cover more than about 2/3 of my back, and the waist strap has just a few inches to spare.If you live near a BBuy, you might want to check out the Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG[ASIN: B00009R6TA Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG]. That bag's dimensions are nearly identical to this one's. If that one's big enough for you, this one will be, too.

I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed. I know it says "skinny" style in the description, but I think that is very misleading because this bag will fit most frames (unless you are less than 120 lbs or over 300).This is easily the best bag I have ever owned (out of about 5-6 other brands, sizes, styles, etc.) and I have been adding gear to it ever since I received it from Amazon. I cannot wait to really get out and beat on it a bit because I know it will take it and as such, would recommend it to anyone.JC I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed.

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.

Hi! While I did not pull out a ruler and measure the bag, those dimensions seem about right. I like the bag, I used it for a trip to Walt Disney World and it held up just fine. The only issue is that it is not designed to sling over either shoulder, only the right one.

It will be too big. My bf is 5'11 and it lands on hips perfectly. I have a north face bag and I'm 5'1 that fits perfectly. I'll try finding the exact model.

I'm 5'9 and can sit comfortably on this bag. However I'm much to tall to stretch out on it. I bought two of these for my kids who love them but they are ages 6 & 8! Good luck

I got this bag for my husband who is 6'5" and weighs 310# . I read him your question and he responded that it is very roomy for him and fits extremely well. After years of too-small sleepingbags fitting like a potato sack tight up to his arm-pits, he LOVES this bag. Hope that helps.

No, definitely not comfortably. I'm 5'3", 115 lbs and this bag still feels pretty small. Maybe if you don't mind laying on your back, legs together, with your arms crossed (...like a mummy) and are an incredibly still sleeper.

might not .... depending on WHAT you're putting in, might be a tad to big. I have a 17" laptop it fits perfect and I do have some wiggle room. 19.5 might be a push ... GREAT BAG!

Yes it is. I'm 5'5" and only have strap extended maybe half then distance that it can go and the bag sits on my thigh when worn cross body

Hi Lori. I have the strap extended all the way. I am 5'3 and it hangs comfortably below my hips but above the knee. Hope that helps. I love it!

I use the M9/C cylinder in this backpack. The cylinder with regulator in just at 16 inches and fits the bag perfectly. It would not be big enough for 19.5 inch cylinder.

It is 19" in height, and the strap is adjustable. I never needed to adjust it as it was already adjusted to my size and I am slender. It may be a bit tight on a person with a large chest/back, but any one who is average sized or small framed should be able to get it all tight as they need as you can punch holes further up the strap it need be. It has 12 holes about an inch apart already neatly punched into the strap.

I am 5'4'' and it fit me just fine. I'm a side sleeper so I don't have my body fully stretched out. If my body is fully extended in the bag then it is borderline short on the shoulders but I think it is this way on purpose since it has the pillow platform (and most people don't sleep like that). If you don't like it, you could always return it.

I believe it does matter if you want to use the yellow straps. I have only used this bag once so far and without the straps because a friend with our same brand umbrella told me our umbrellas are too tall. Admittedly I took her word and did not test it out the day we went to the beach. Our umbrellas are 7ft.
