I absolutely loved this bag. I hated to send it back. So many nice features like everything closing up so nothing falls out. Beautiful leather, chocolate really looks like chocolate. Hoped to use it forwhen I just needed music, computer and power chords. Depth was perfiect for that and held my 14 inch computer. I believe my 15.4 fould have fit also. The water bottl eholder at the side isalmost impossible tofind on a laptop leather bag.
The glitch for me at 5'5" was that the straps only adjusted so far lengthwise.With the straps adjusted all the way up the weight of the bag was still left hanging over my lumbar. It took just a computer and a small book to give me a backache within 5 minutes. I don't get that from my bigger pack that holds more. It has straps that pull it up at least 5 inches higher.The other problem was that a strap would fall to one side or the other. Perhaps a little more padding would have made it stay put, or a sternum strap. Bottom line: I think any man or woman taller than me would make this their "go to" bag. I wish they would fix the strap issue and perhaps add a stash pocket on the back side. I sent it back reluctantly and still wish I could have found a way to make it work. Leatherbay,can you hear me?
