From RockCreek:
"The Bora 62 by Arc'Teryx is a fully featured women's pack with state-of-the-art suspension for comfort, plus plenty of room for backcountry trips. Formed specifically for female curves, this multi-day trekker handles plenty of mountain gear. New weatherproof WaterTight fabric and smooth sliding WaterTight zips keep the elements from penetrating. The Bora 62 is featured and designed to keep pack-hoisting women smiling. The ArcTeryx philosophy is simple: transfer the load of the pack to those areas that best handle the weight while not restricting or adversely affecting movement. Outstanding Arc'Teryx technology yields an incredibly confortable and durable pack."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Arc'Teryx Bora 62 is a women's pack with enough space for multi-day loads and a few days of backcountry bliss. The Bora 62 incorporates all the bomber Arc'Teryx features but with a female engineered V stay suspension system that supports the unique characteristics of a woman's anatomy. Arc'Teryx's Bora packs offer award winning suspension with breakthrough technology and ergonomic design. Now the world standard, the Bora hipbelt features four layers of foam, laminated and thermoformed into a curved, cupped shape that pivots to allow forward load transfer. Translation of all this techy talk? Travel over rugged and irregular terrain with a Bora on your back will be a comfortable affair. The little extras that count on the Bora 62 include a top lid fanny pack with key clip & map pocket, gear loops galore, and a full length side zip for quick access to the main compartment. *Available for US shipment only."

Features state-of-the-art suspension for comfort, plus enough storage capacity for multiday trips. Four-layer foam in the laminated hipbelt is thermo-formed to match the shape of a woman's hips; adjustable angle lets each hiker fine-tune the fit. Includes dual daisy chains, wand pockets and ice axe/tool loops for carrying gear outside the pack. Laminated internal kangaroo pocket protects contents from water, dirt and other elements.

More than a sized-down men's pack, this pack's suspension is engineered to fit a woman's build. Removable lid pocket becomes a waistpack with an integrated water bottle pocket perfect for hikes away from camp. Thermo-formed foam backpanel with ventilation channels and contoured, dual-density padded shoulder straps enhance comfort. V-stay suspension system with load-transfer rods helps distribute the load evenly between shoulders and hips."

"This pack travelled with me through the Swiss Alps and the rest of Europe for two months. The only conplaint that I have is that the side waterbottle holders don't hold onto the bottles well. Many times while hiking if I leaned over, or took my pack off and put it on the ground, my Nalgene bottles would slip right out."

"Excellent backpack! After trying 5 different types loaded with 35 pounds, only with the Bora 62 I’ve felt that I’ll be able to walk many miles without any problems. And I actually did. Five-day hike in Yellowstone, climbing over 10,000-ft mountain range wearing Bora 62 was a pure pleasure."
