Upon ordering the Lunada, I immediately had second thoughts on whether or not I should have picked up the Noatak, or a Hazard 4 pack. I currently own a number of backpacks and messenger bags. I've gone through quite a bit, as I like to carry stuff on me, but I don't like pocket stuffing. Comfort and maneuverability is a major priority to me, so I test bags pretty often. The Lunada ended up being smaller than I expected, which was good, as it fit the key requirement of being able to hold my tablet- a Barnes & Noble Nook HD+. It fits snugly into the hydration pouch. There's an additional hidden pouch that can be used to hide a compact pistol, money or identification hidden under the small zippered pouch (with velcro for added security). The space inside the main compartment isn't overly generous, however it can easily fit a bottle of water and some snacks, possibly a light jacket etc etc. Perfect for any minimalist. Anyone who needs to haul lots of gear may want to check out the larger packs. The top rear compartment fits a flashlight, my Freedompop Bolt and a small bottle of hand sanitizer. There're organizational pouches however I'm not using them. The lower one has lots of webbing, and I use them to hold my pens. There's a sleeve that perfectly fits my Kobo Mini e-reader, and I have space for a notebook, Clif Bar, and more. I will also slip my wallet (Saddleback minimalist) and phone (now LG L9) without any excess bulge. For a nice touch there's a zippered compartment in the very back which I use to slide receipts, notes and also keep a microfiber cloth for cleaning my gadgets if necessary. The quick-release clip buckle on the band is useful if you're encumbered and can't be bothered to lift the bag strap over your head. It's large and strong. There's a mini clip that lets you secure the bag to you if you need to run, however I don't need the strap as the webbing is slightly rubbery, keeping the bag from sliding too much. The strap I put into the hidden external sleeve, for the just-in-case factor. These bags can be had for ~100 new, however I was lucky enough to get mine used like new at $65. Keep your eyes out for a good deal, I was very fortunate for mine, and am extremely happy I've finally found a Maxpedition that fits me well. EDIT (2/10/2014): A quick update. I still use this bag daily. It's my favorite pack, and I've refined my carry. The main compartment holds my Nexus 7 in the small back-sleeve, the actual main compartment is empty for daily carry, in case I want to add a water bottle, gloves, snacks etc. The little zipper flap holds some kleenex, my Freedompop Overdrive Pro and a signal mirror. The top organizational pouch holds my house keys, a small Altoids tin, some basic medical items, and hand sanitizer. The larger bottom organization pouch holds the most, a CRKT M16 Knife, Bodyguard 380, NiteCore SRT7, a food bar, a random pen, spare battery for the Nitecore, spare magazine for my 380, and an external battery charger for my phone. All this fits in without any added bulk. I recently broke my right arm and was able to switch the strap to go across my chest the opposing way, so I could easily put on/take off the pack while my arm was in a sling. This proved to be extremely useful. I might add that the pack survived a car crash, also protecting the contents within (slamming the bag against the dashboard at a combined 80mph impact (40mph from both cars). This same impact shattered an otterbox cargo box in my car's trunk.
