Exactly what I was looking for
I was looking for a backpack that I can use for both day hikes and for backpacking (I pack light when i go backpacking!). This pack is extremely comfortable and has the perfect amount of storage for carrying all my gear. It has a sternum strap (which has elastic so it doesn't constrict your breathing) and a waist strap. padding on all the straps and the padding on the back of the pack itself is plenty comfortable. There is a phone/mp3 player pouch on the left shoulder strap and the top of the pack has a special thru-hole for use with a water bladder.
My only complaint is that the zippers are a bit tricky to use. The zippers seem pretty durable but it can be a pain in the butt if you have to unzip and zip the pack frequently. I think other reviewers pointed this out too. It isn't a deal-breaker it's just kind of annoying. There is a fabric strip that covers the zippers (like most backpacks have) and if you pull it away from the zipper before you try to unzip the pack it is much easier.
As far as capacity is concerned I am able to fit all my backpacking gear (sleeping back tent food fishing gear etc) my full-size camera tripod that collapses to 15" and two 1-quart bottles in the mesh side pockets.More detail ...
