Hello,
I am headed to Germany for a Semester Internship and I was looking at buying one of the travel bags at the travel store. Right now, I'm looking at the Velcoe Guide Bag because it is small and on sale. HOWEVER: I am a plus size traveler and would like to make sure the strap is going to fit nicely before I make my purchase. If anyone has one of these bags, or an earlier version of the same thing I would LOVE to know the measurement of the strap when it is fully extended! I was also looking at the Messenger style bag if anyone has information on that as well! Thanks for your help!

I sent an email to the Travel Store asking that very question about extended strap length (Contact us) and it's been a week and no reply. So I am also interested in the same infotmation, (and a little peeved at Rick's Travel Store)

Hi I measured the strap. It doesn't come off the bag, so this is approximate. It is about 45" long total when all the adjustment is out of it...so 22" or 23" each side depending on how you carry it.

Thank you so much for your help! Now I can compare it to my old worn out bag and see if it's good enough!
