I'm 5' 8" and 180, but I have 43" shoulders so I can't fit in too many tight places.

You're an inch taller than me and yes it is all relative. I carried a toolbox close to 60# years ago.

After years of trying out bag after bag, finally I've found to ultimate bag. Keeps all of my hands tools on the outside so that I can see them and my screw/ nut drivers, etc. On the inside with plenty of space to spare.
