Hi @baileylab. I'm a fellow petite, also same height
That's great that you got those extra holes in to set it a bit higher. When I work up enough courage, I might consider that too hehe.
Your dad's comment is cute. Agreed, it is super secure especially for traveling. Imagine getting an H padlock on there and having to unlock it, twist the lock, unsecure both straps, etc. etc. Whew! Not complaining though, this bag is well worth the effort
I like how we can wear it in a variety of options and leave it open/closed. I'm off on a trip next weekend but cannot bear the thought of setting this bag on the plane floor :\ Not sure if I will take it </3
