"Bora spent three months with me while I traveled in South America and Mexico. My Bora hiked the Inca Trail twice (one of the times I had to attach a 20+ pound bag to her and her seams still are in fantastic shap), been to Santiago, Chile, and been to the Andes Mountains in Ecuador."

Bora 30
Reviewed by Conrad Buck, Sep 17, 2002

"Having bought the pack quite recently, I decided on this model from the reviews here on the board and through price research etc.

I was looking at Jack Wolfskin and The North Face but the cost compared to the Bora 30 was crazy. For $119 canadian, you will not find a tougher made pack."

Bora 30
Reviewed by Mark Shimaura, Jun 09, 1999

"Absolutely a wonderful pack for long dayhikes. The tall, narrow shape and compression straps keep the load well balanced and stable. The kangaroo pocket is great for items you need to get to quickly. The hipwing hipbelt looks minimal, but actually it can actually support a lot of the pack weight."

Bora 30 (Tall)
Reviewed by Matt, Apr 29, 1999

"My wife got this for me and I was initially dissapointed (small). I returned it for the tall version and am happy with this. I use it for trad. climbs (one day climbs) and ice climbs. It is perfect for day trips, carries very comfortable, and does not impede climbing (unless body jamming)."

Bora 30
Reviewed by Max Wojcik, Mar 03, 1999

"I like this pack quite well. I researched intensively for a year all the packs built near this size, and concluded that this one was the best, with no compromises. Build quality is of the absolute highest though it doesn't seem to clean up to new looking quite as my Dana, if that matters at all to you."

Bora 30
Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Sep 06, 1998

"This is a great day pack. Construction is top notch. The fit and function is perfect for a smaller pack. It has an HDPE framesheet and single aluminum stay. The hipbelt is a 2" no-frills with "hip wings"; usually more than enough for your average day trip."
