Men's Bora 65
Reviewed by Gman, Mar 04, 2008

"This pack is great for an overnight or two. I have used it on an overnight and was impressed. Had a heavy load and held the weight in perfect place. Plenty of the straps to tighten and loosen the load.

A little heavy @ 6 lbs but very well made."

Reviewed by Sonia, Dec 22, 2007

"I chose this bag over the REI brand pack that was of similar capacity, because I felt like it had much better weight balance. I use the pack for my frequent moves, and I always have it packed to capacity. It holds the weight well despite average of 30 kg loads, and has had no signs of wear over the past 4 years."

"This is my first backpack...and the only one I will ever need. No discomfort whatsoever and did not feel like the bag lead me around. I'm 5'4" and had no problems with the weight of this bag. Lots of head room( no problems looking up)."

"I received this pack from my dad as a gift. I have taken it backpacking through Italy, as well as Australia and New Zealand. I have had difficulty with the fit, and am now just discovering that it was designed more for the body of a woman. I am 6'3" and about 190lbs."

"6lbs, 12 oz

I truely loved this pack. Excellent tough contruction, good design, excellent simple suspension. A bit heavy but so well made it should last years of hard use.

Hipbelt attaches by sliding the stays into two nylon webbing slots."

"A very comfortable capable pack. Construction quality and materials are top notch (made in Canada). Adjustable suspension is excellent, and has the most balanced feel between hip load and shoulders. Shoulders are some of the softest I've come across."
