From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'teryx Bora 50 Backpack has enough cargo space to carry all the gear for a plush overnight camping trip and ultra-comfortable suspension to make the hiking as enjoyable as possible. In addition to the Bora 50 Backpack's 2880cu inch (medium) main compartment, it also includes a front kangaroo pocket, a lid pocket, and two stowable water-bottle pockets.

A single aluminum stay supports the load, even if you go a little overboard on the comfort items."

"After 10 years it was about time to replace my old Lowe Alpine Walkabout 45L and the Bora 50 look like a winner.

It's not easy to find on the market packs in this volume that build just right - in terms of materials, shape, quality etc. Many of the packs in this size will target for ultralight backpacking and I'm a bit of an old school with this aspect."

"Piece of mind, this pack rocks. You can go anywhere but scuba diving and your gear is dry. My other packs will now collect dust till I get them on Ebay. Everything from my sleeping bag to my extra gloves stays securely dry. Now I can go further with less stress of an accidental wet overnighter. In southeast Alaska that's the difference between life and death."

"After researching and trying on many packs, I can honestly say for me the Bora 50 is almost perfect. Love the upgraded fabric, the bombproof construction and padding on the hipbelt and shoulder straps is great. But I really wish the side pockets were large enough to hold a liter sized Nalgene."

Reviewed by Jon, Oct 27, 2004

"I initially got this pack for winter day hikes and long summer day hikes but have found it to be better for so much more than that. Now that I have slimmed my pack weight down I can use it for 2-3 day backpacking trips. Ideal pack weight would be between 25-35 lbs but have carried over 40 in it out of neccesity once and did not find it to be uncomfortable at all."
