Not sure exactly what you're asking, but the 3L antidote has kept my 2 kids and me well supplied for about 4 hours of hiking. I'm sure that if you're going solo, it'd last most of the day if it's not too hot.

Yes it works as well as the Sony, yet understand that the belt apparatus across your chest is wide. I guess that would be fine in the winter but I feel it will be too hot for hiking in the summer. Forget the "dork" factor. I have gone to installing my camera on my daypacks shoulder strap, you still look like a "dork" but at least I don't look like a photographer nerd. I guess if you really wanted to look really dorky, then a headband will do the trick.

It's for typical car camping, not ideal for hiking. As for the built in rain fly, I don't know as it hadn't rained when I had to use it. There was some slight mist and it was fine.

It depends. I love this pack, but primarily use it for long day hikes in the a white Mountains where weather can be very unpredictable so I tend to carry extra gear. This would not be suitable for overnights requiring a tent & sleeping bag, but if all you need is a tarp, go for it. It's a great pack

Yes its a perfect pack for a 2-3 or more day hike. I personally did a 4 night hike with this pack and it was awesome. Youtube has some good reviews of this pack that are convincing. The sleeping bag compartment won't hold your sleeping bag unless you plan on just using a thin bed sheet. Its a great starter pack that will last quite a while.

Yeah it is, for everyday normal it's great! I wouldn't try running with it though. The case is the main feature of this item.

Yes. The mesh is elastic and has held up extremely well during two years of daily use, continuously carrying a water bottle in the side pocket. It seems to be just as good as it was when I first bought it, so Osprey has used some good material to allow this thing to last like it has. I have not used it much in the rain, but it seems like it would hold up fine in light rain for a short period of time. I would not expect it to hold out a downpour on a day hike though.

No, but it is extremely resistant, so it might as well be. If you leave it in the rain or are in a torrential downpour you are obviously SOL, but for light to mild rain it is great. Overall I would highly recommend this pack, especially if you are the type of person that packs a rifle or axe around all the time and\or needs to tie additional gear to the pack.

Sturdy enough, yes. Breathable? Probably not. My child gets very sweaty if she's in it for a long time. While it is nice and compact, I do not think it is designed for hiking.

It depends on how you pack your gear, but it isn't bad. I wouldn't want to take it on a 10 mile hike, but for taking out into the desert or woods to shoot, you can carry it a bit. Just make sure the heavy stuff is stacked towards the lower part/small of your back. Higher up it sways to much.

I did some research on the YakTrax site and it looks like there are Pro and Extreme versions that would be more suited for hiking. I am a hiker so I was considering these but now I'm thinking that I should get one of the other versions.

I would definitely still recommend this knife. I do multi-day hikes in the backcountry and always have this strapped to my pack. It's a well crafted knife. I think it would suit your purposes.

Maybe not. It's heavy for it's size. I think there are better option, go to an outdoor hiking gear store and try some on to get the best fit.

This Mattress is perfect for overnight hikes or even 2 day hikes. It is comfortable and easy to manage. I don't find it to be to bulky at all. A good starter choice or short trip choice. If you want lightweight or are going on a longer trip. You might want to look at something else.

Absolutely not! It is not designed for that kind of weight load. A camera with too big of a zoom or telephoto lens would be too much on it, much less a hiker putting their weight on it. You'll need to get a hiking staff that's made for hiking. Good question though, not a bad idea either.

No, I have a malti-poo that ways 10 lbs. No, it would be uncomfortable for hiking or biking however it depends on your comfort.
