19? 25? 19? 19. 25? 25. 25! The Struggle is real!

ooof. I think the only way to resolve it (for me anyway) is to get both, and stand the cost of the return of the (loser). The trick is how NOT to keep both candidates, right?

I'm not sure I'd have the willpower to return one. :)

Danger! Danger, @meekasmom! The strategy of ordering multiple TB items with the intent of returning the one(s) I do not want has not been successful for me. That's how I ended up with my large TB collection -- not that I have any regrets!

I couldn't agree more with your logic here. Despite countless reviews here and elsewhere it took me playing with each bag to truly understand which best suited my needs.

Parting ways with the just-barely-not-ideal bag was very tough for me.

But it did open the window to replace it with a bag that may serve a different function

I want to carry knitting projects like sweaters in my backpack. Sweaters in progress tend to be bulky but light weight. After you put an 13" macbook pro in an S19 there is not too much more room to put in bulky items -- so then you are carrying two bags. Been there, done that. You can still add gadgets and pouches but not bulkier things like books/extra yarn. Hence the problem.

I wish the TB folks would issue or re-issue the much rumored cross body knitting bag replacement for the imago. Knitters are bag collectors by nature and I know there is pent up demand out there.

Darcy, are your ears burning?

That was a great ineffable. I have been having the same debate for months. I am sure that the 25 is the best choice but I am 5'4" and worry that it will be too bulky. Does anyone here 5'4" or shorter have the 25? Do you think it's too big?

I have the S19 (before S25 came out) and am 5 feet tall. I pack a lot of gadgets so S19 size encourages me to pack less and therefore stagger a bit less.

I'm 5'3" and have both the S19 and S25. I like both, but love the S25. I don't think it's too big for me at all. I used it as a personal item when flying and slid it under the seat in front of me.

Last night I set on the bed with pouches and stuff all around me (moving it all from one bag to another) and at the same time my husband and I where watching Castle. At one point he took an aubergine long keystrap and decorated is leg with it. Than he looked at me and asked: is that how you wold like me to dress up for you, so that I can get your attention?

I first read your post hours ago, @Ilkyway, and I'm still laughing. Your husband knows you so well!

[jcinverso]

Ha! Good point. I was curious because Tom Bihn's descriptions of each bag call out that the 25 would be less comfortable for people under 5'6". I just wanted to know what people's real-world experiences were. But you're right, there's no real reason it wouldn't work.

Now I am off to look at the Q-Kit threat. I'd thought that AMP would be too big for it.

It's such a perfect fit I can hardly describe it. I think if it were 2 mm wider or longer it would not fit. Just sets right in and pops out when it's time to work.
