From RockCreek:
"The durable Tour Pack from Mountainsmith gives you the same adventure-ready features found in the 1,150 cu. in. Day Pack, but with half the carrying capacity, making it ideal for summertime adventures that require nothing more than compressible rain gear and a lunch. Hydrophobic polyester padding along the removable shoulder strap and patented Omni Belt padding offer comfort standards that exceed most lumbar pack designs. The dual side mesh pockets are sized to accommodate 32-oz. Nalgene bottles. That adds up to 64-oz. of liquid storage, more than some lumbar hydration pack systems. The Tour's compact dimensions make it ideal for packing along on trips where trail runs and day hikes are part of your itinerary."
