does this backpack have a waist strap? And is there adequate room for dry necessities - phone keys papers, etc?

Yes, plenty of room for dry things but no strap. But you can tighten the shoulder straps, my hubs got this for his lunch when he takes his Harley to work, and works perfectly.

Mine has a wrist strap (if that's the thing you're calling between the two shoulder straps). Padded, too. I don't find the outer pocket very large, however, if you're just putting keys and a wallet, brush, etc. it's adequate. It's just like any outer pocket on other backpacks. I wish it were a little larger so I can put paper plates, plastic silverware, etc. in it, but I had to use cocktail plates to fit. Also, the two water bottle pockets are very large, so they are great for stuffing things in.

It doesn't have a waist strap. The outside pouch is perfect for phone, keys et.. But will hold far more than just a couple items. I used ours yesterday, filled two medium size freezer baggies with Melba toast and other crackers for our trip. There was room to spare.

Yes, and it has an outside zippered pocket for small accessories! Its a great bag with padding on both sides yet very slim in design. You will not be disappointed.

It has a waist strap, but it is the same as all the other straps and buckles on the pack.

Honesty, I don't know. I cut off the waist strap because it seemed silly and was in the way. I have had the backpack for over a year and have gotten good use out of it. So far, so good.

Yes it has the padded waist belt, and no the backpack itself doesnt come with a rain cover (or at least I didn't get one.) But the backpack itself is weather proff. Hope this answers your question.

yeah I don't see why not. it's basically just a backpack. I like it a lot. needed to rework some of the straps so they wouldn't pull through the plastic part. sorry, tough to explain. way more carry room than I expected. only complaint would be the waist strap is too small, and I'm not a huge guy. not difficult to take it off and forget about it. I'd absolutely recommend it.

Yes this backpack should hold all those things well. Not much more than that though. Not sure if it is waterproof.

Yes it has the straps to wear as backpack. But please put the tablet inside where the zipper is...a small tablet that is

Yes, the backpack has plenty of room for your iPod, laptop, cell phone. It is a wonderful backpack. Sent one to my friend in New Orleans just in case another hurricane came in. They were without power for weeks. This would of been a God send. Now they don't have to worry about recharging their cellphone, the power is in the backpack.

It does have a side compartment although not very large but it can hold your wallet keys .., and in my case my ear buds ..., so I don't have to go digging ... Like I stated in my review it works for me when I don't feel like carriying my larger backpack ... Hope this was helpful

No, the backpack has neither. This is a lightweight day pack only, which is why I bought it. The pack is well made and very light weight, but has all the right compartments and and can carry quite a bit of stuff. The pack is the perfect fit for my day hikes only.

Yes, there are three pretty decent sized velcro latched inside pockets .I feel confident enough that you'll be able to carry all of your extra magazines and possibly then some. I sometimes carry three pistols, headsets, boxes of ammunition, all in the interior of the bag itself. Yes I know it sounds like its heavy but it holds up pretty darn good. I you can have room for a water bottle

Yes. There is a 8" x 8" pocket at the back which is enclosed by a zipper. This pocket is great for storing car keys, phone, pens, purse size pack of wipes and a couple of cards all at the same time. There is also a slip pocket approximately 6" x 6" at the front which is also great for holding car keys, pens and cell phone at the same time. This pocket however remains opened as there is no zipper or fastener to keep it closed. You can't go wrong with this bag. It is awesome.
