To finish off the materials, there’s also a #6 Wasa snap fastener on this bag that connects the two top handles for easy carrying. We haven’t had any issues with it disengaging during testing, so nothing to report there. External Components Left: Rebecca, Height: 5’7” (170 cm), Torso: 16 in (40 cm) | Right: Nathan, Height: 6’4” (193 cm), Torso: 19” (48 cm) When you want to wear it as a standard tote, pull the strap up by this handle and use it along with the front strap to throw the bag over your shoulder. They’re not comfortable for long, as again, they don’t have any padding—but we’ve found them to be convenient for when we’re just running into the store or—similar to the shoulder straps—when we want to give our hands a break.
