From REI:
"For a week's trek or longer, count on the Bora 80 with thoughtfully designed suspension and loads of room for backcountry and mountaineering use. Main compartment features top-loading and side-zippered access for extensive entrance to all corners of the pack. V-stay suspension system with load-transfer rods helps distribute the load evenly between shoulders and hips. Laminated four-layer foam hipbelt is thermo-formed to fit the shape of your hips and reduce pressure points; adjustable angle offers an individual fit. Thermo-formed foam backpanel with ventilation channels and anatomically curved, padded shoulder straps add comfort. High-density polyurethane (HDPE) framesheet protects your back from bulky and pointy items and supports heavy loads. New, injection-molded external occipital cavity creates a permanent 3D space for full head mobility. Large, self-draining front kangaroo pocket holds bulky or wet gear and is accessible from top or front. Zippered, lower sleeping bag compartment is created by the adjustable, roll-up divider. Eliminating zipper flaps, the easy-to-use WaterTight™ zippers are designed for protection in extremely wet weather. Top lid pocket can be removed to become a waistpack for summit attempts or short day hikes. Underside of lid features a hydration zip pocket for holding a reservoir plus an exit port for its drinking tube (reservoir sold separately). Includes dual daisy chains, wand pockets and dual ice axe/tool loops for carrying bulky gear outside the pack. Made of RipStorm™ nylon and 420-denier WaterTight™ fabric, with an impregnated polyurethane backing, for abrasion- and water-resistance."

Brought it home and was thrilled with the amount of adjustment available in the suspension. Shoulder straps cold be moved about 3 inches in total for a perfect fit and some minor hip belt adjustments."

The inside stayed bone-dry throughout and the outer kangaroo pocket served as the perfect place to store wet jackets and Tevas (after fording a river)."
