I've had this backpack for almost two years now, and although it's currently out of stock I wanted to share my opinion.
Very solid all around pack for varied use; how much you can stretch the storage capacity is up to your ability to pack light. I've used it for everything from single night weekend hiking trips, mountain climbing, travel pack for 2+ months as an airline carry on.
I've become very attached to this bag and appreciate the design work put into it, and the rock solid build construction. Deuter makes some excellent equipment - I briefly owned an Aircontact 75+ but returned it because the capacity was just way more than I would ever need.
This pack is definitely meant for smaller framed individuals; I'm not a big person by any means (5'7" 155) and I feel like I'm almost the upper limit for sizing.
