How do you carry this? Are there any straps for over the shoulder? Or is this meant to be carried inside a backpack?

Hello Rd; you can carry it in your backpack or, if you used it to store your sleeping bag, you can tie/strap it outside your backpack but not with the compression straps! It is waterproof as long as you fold the lip at the top properly.

Hi RD; it's to be carried in back pack or pannier etc; the straps you see in the picture have been pulled tight to produce the compression. Hope that makes sense :-)

It's generally meant for stuffing into a backpack, though depending upon how full you have it, you could conceivably strap it to the outside like you would a sleeping bag. The straps are meant more for the compression; you wouldn't really be able to wear it directly on your back. There is a small handle at the orange "cap" on one end, but that's only about 6" across, if that -- just enough to slip your hand through it. Wouldn't be ideal to carry it that way for the full trek.

I just tried placing it into a somewhat large backpack. It is flat enough to fit inside and I thought it was light and easy to lift. But the problem is that it is rather long and the top will stick out. It would have to be a fairly long bag to fit it without showing. It's 22 inches long when folded up. If you don't mind it sticking out the top it might work. I'm just average strength and thought it was fairly easy to carry. If carried in a backpack with straps, I could probably have it on all day. I personally wouldn't carry it around because of the length, but I've seen people carrying bigger, heavier things in bags before. I just tried placing it into a somewhat large backpack.

yes, it has nice "Back Pack" style straps so you can carry it over your shoulder.. Very well made,, Very rugged..

What canvas straps are you referring to? It has straps that wrap around it when it is folded up so it is easy to carry. Not sure if that is what you are referring to though.

The straps are not padded. I have the bag loaded but it does not dig into your shoulder.

The 3 ways to carry this bag would be backpack style, by the top handle or by the side handle. The only straps it has are the 2 straps for backpack use. These straps can be tucked away behind a zipped compartment if you choose to carry it another way. The other ways would be by the handle at the top or on the side. Both handles are padded very well to offer more comfort while holding it.

The strap that is shown is the one that I remember. It was a gift so I can't check on it. You can use the handle or the strap to carry it. It can be very heavy depending on what you put in it. My friend can often use it to travel. He likes the separate compartment for wet clothes so that it doesn't get everything in the bag damp. Just remember to take it out :).

I think I understand what you are asking. My answer would be 'NO'. It does have two straps to carry like a "back-pack."

I have the one with the shoulder strap which handles nicely. Make sure you get the shoulder strap one. This could be it with the strap folded in the picture. The problem I have with the Marsupack is that even the small one sticks out quite a bit in front of the person carrying it.

Not really, and it you use it as a proper tote I think it would be a very heavy load for your shoulder. The straps are generous, but on the shoulder - I don't think so. But saying that, this is a great, sturdy, nice looking tote!

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.

No backpack style straps. It comes with a shoulder strap, like a purse style of carry.

Yes, there is an included shoulder strap that can be used. You can stow away the backpack straps behind a zip-up panel and then hook up the shoulder strap to carry it in that orientation. It also has a side-handle which makes it even more convenient to carry the bag this way.

No, the strap is too small for over the shoulder carrying. The bag itself is small so you have to be sure you don't have any large containers or a lot of things to carry. I stopped using mine bc I needed more space for different sized containers and objects as well as a drink.

I no longer have the bag but I don't believe it would be comfortable as a shoulder carry. You could use one strap and carry it a a slinger type.

yes it goes over the shoulder and comes with a strap, it has a hard bottom and plenty of room for all you accessories. Not bulky either.

definitely not a shirt, maybe pants, if youre wearing cargos with giant pockets. but id say no. i personally really wanted to carry it in my pocket, and sometimes i do (with bottom piece on, but no top cover on), in back pocket when im wearing baggier pants, but typically i carry over shoulder with strap. you can make it work, but it's def not the most comfortable, esp not for long periods.
