I'm 5'3, 130 pounds. Hoping to use this pack when I travel to SE asia. Would the small be too big for me?

Hard to say how it would fit. Is there any way to try a bag on in a store and then compare measurements? My guess is it would be okay but you may want to compare for your own comfort.

Per the pack's description, the small is for a torso length of 14.5" to 18.5." The backpack experts say you should always buy a pack based on your torso length, not your body height. If you can get someone to help you, run a tape measure from where your neck meets your shoulders down to the top of your hips. Place your two hands on the tops of the hips, and let your assistant measure from the top down to the center our your two outstretched thumbs. This is your torso length. I'm guessing the small/medium size will be fine for you, but measure first. Everyone is built differently. I'm 5'9" and the medium/large fits me well. Some people are "higher-waisted" than others, so such a person might have a shorter torso length despite their height. Good luck!

No. This particular pack won't hold that size. I have a 15inch laptop and it barely fits in the pack. But I've traveled all summer with this pack and love it more everyday. It's small enough to not be bulky but can carry a lot! And great brand.

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.

The answer is a definite "YES". I would know because I wish should have bought a smaller one for my needs. On note though is that it may not have the padding you normally see in packs that are meant to hold laptops. Lots of pockets inside.

It is a pretty big pack. I usually do not wear anything when out riding, the only reason I got this pack is for patrol duties. I was surprised to see how roomie it is, you can store a lot of stuff in there. Downside is the added weight once it's full (not to mention the bladder is pretty big as well so it will add to that). So if you like riding light I would suggest getting something smaller. If you are looking into a lot of storage then this is a good choice. Considering your petite frame, I wouldn't recommend it (unless the main purpose would be a large haul capacity).

i've seen this pack before, haven't purchased yet (will soon) and the short answer is yes. it might put some strain on you, but i think you could work it out. the only problem i would see is the boots, but you could fix that probably. so, yes, if your willing to carry it.

I have a 36" waist and there is plenty of room left over. It may be a snug fit, but it should work for you. Great pack and definitely worth the money!

I would sure think so - the straps are very adjustable and should accommodate a smaller bag. My bag is a standard walking bag and there is a lot of tightening left. Hope this helps.

I'm in the army and was looking for a camping backpack that can hold a-lot of equipment. Even though it is a nice pack, it is more like a hiking day pack. I'm 5 foot 9 inches. It fits me well. it should fit you as well it can adjust.

My husband is also 5'9" and weighs more than you do. The pack is comfortable and also adjustable, fits well. You should be fine!

No, this would not be a good pack for carrying that much weight. I bought it to take on the Camino in the fall. It was great for afternoons and evening just to carry light weight personal items. The beauty of this pack is that is can be condensed. The straps are not very well padded. It is not intended to be used as a main back pack. More of a travel accessory.

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.

Hello, I'm 6'4 and I bought this pack last year for a hiking trip to the Poconos. Loved it. comfortable to wear and hold a lot of stuff. I had enough stuff packed in it to get me through 4 - 5 days. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Hi, I think this will be perfect for you, it has the right size and it's confortable to carry on your back. I used this in my trips to the rainforest and mountains.

It's not very big so i would assume it will fit you better than most standard sized backpacks. Quality is excellent for the money, better than some of the other high end names out there. I did switch back to a messenger bag for preference, but i would recommend this backpack to anyone that is looking for great features and quality for the price.

I am 5'4" and have been nothing but pleased with the pack. It is very comfortable for any sized person, and I highly recommend it!
