DuQues, That look's like a Lowepro MiniTrekker. I'm considering getting one for a 18km hike I'm doing in June. Is it comfortable over long distance walking and would you recommend it?

Not only looks like it, it is one.
I find it very comfy, it packs quite a lot (and safely). I am often walking around with most of my kit in it, and the rest in my hand. Those walks often exceed 20 kilometers, and even with my bad back have no problem whatsoever.

Yes, I would recommend it. But: with my kit the bag is packed to capacity, so if you have more gear it probably will not fit...

The shoulderstraps are not broad enought and misses the waist belt on which you balance the weight.

What is that thing I put around my waist then? A snake?
The shoulderstraps are about 8 cm wide.
My kit weighs in at 6+ kilo's, no problem.....
Mini tracker classic.

If you are just carrying 1 camera and a bit of accessories a harness might be more comfortable, see the previous link and click around a bit.

IÃ‚Â´ll just stick to the "amateur" photography:
