I love this bag for its comfort and substantial volume. I can carry a lot of stuff on the trail for a long time in real comfort. But I'll be blunt: the water bottle pockets are inadequate. Seriously. They're advertised as being able to handle 32-ounce bottles (think Nalgene), and they will fit, but the pockets are so shallow the bottles WILL fall out if you do anything other than just walk. Why can't Mountainsmith design acceptable pockets for the most common water bottles for hikers? It's not hard: JUST MAKE THEM DEEPER. Other than that, it's a great pack.

I use this bag in my travels as well as a good, everyday, pack. I think the quality is top-notch, and it's a plus that recycled materials are used in the construction.
My only "gripe" is that the shoulder pad on the shoulder strap has no way of fastening itself to one place on the strap - it migrates around and often ends up at the end of the strap. If there was some Velcro on the interior of the pad and on the middle of the strap, one could stop the movement.

Had a hard time deciding between the Tour or the Day (which is larger), but the Tour is perfect for my needs of simple urban treks to and through local parks or fishing on the pier. This pack is simply fabulous. The material is heavy duty and looks like it will hold up. The fit, finish, stitching, buckles, straps, and padding are top notch. Bright yellow inside for visibility. Small zippered hanging bag inside. Key clip in outer zip pocket.
Belt is wide and long enough for Clydesdales. I don't know why no manufacturer provides belt length in specs, but I'm grateful for this feature because of all the beer and chili dogs in my recent past.
Although the bottle pockets are advertised as deep enough for 32oz'rs, I'd take that info with a grain of salt. Enough room for me to carry a micro umbrella, .75L mug/pot, 220gm fuel canister, Optimus Crux stove, lighter, coffee cup, spork, Cup o' Noodles or ramen, wallet, keys, cell phone, small digital camera, handheld dual-band amateur radio transceiver, and a couple of water bottles with no problem.
The really cool thing about this pack (and the Day), is the flexibility of wear and use. For example, you can use the pack as a shoulder bag with the included padded shoulder strap. Stow the strap in the padded pocket in the small of the back and wear as a lumbar pack. Stow the strap and fold the waist pads and belt into two hidden side pockets and carry this like a tool bag. Add the 'Strapette,' (purchased separately), and you can wear as a small daypack or support much heavier loads in the pack as a lumbar.
Finally, I'm no tree-hugger, but it is nice that an effort has been made by the manufacturer to create this pack using material made (partially) from recycled water bottles - nearly 20 according to the little tag included with the bag.
Buy this product with confidence. I'm sure you'll be pleased.
UPDATE: I've discovered that this bag is *perfect* as a handlebar bag on my vintage Specialized Rockhopper mountain bike. With the hip belt inserted and reverse-buckled, a single short bungee looped around the head tube and latched onto a loop on each side holds this bag firmly in front and off the front tire - w00t! BONUS!
