Bag capacity in litres means less than a picture of what fits

Anonymous

A bag can have a useful-looking capacity number and still struggle with the awkward objects somebody carries. A rigid lunch box, a tall bottle or a laptop sleeve can change the whole arrangement. External dimensions do not always explain the usable opening or how much space the pockets take. What would make a bag listing easier to judge? Photos with ordinary objects, measurements of the opening or a view of the lining might be more useful than another carefully styled picture of the outside.

Showing an empty bag and a realistically packed one would answer different questions. Which everyday object is most often missing from the photos?

A capacity figure cannot describe the shape of the space. Measurements of the base and opening could help people compare similar-looking bags.

An internal photograph with the pockets open would help explain where the space goes. Several small compartments can be useful without fitting one larger object.

Rigid items are a useful test because they cannot squeeze around each other. A lunch container could reveal more than another picture of folded clothing.

The strap adjustment range belongs with the dimensions too. A bag can hold everything required while still being awkward to carry over a coat.
