User Review: Arc'teryx Bora 80

Arc'teryx Bora 80
Above: The current Bora 80, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Max. Load Carried: 47 Pounds
Height of Owner: 5 '9
Price Paid: $325

Purchased this pack after researching several months. I did a 4 day trek through the James Peak Wilderness, CO carrying about 47 pounds. The pack held up very well. We were rained on every day, and the pack kept everything dry.

The suspension is very easy to adjust, compared to the Gregory's. One thing I do not like are the two side pockets that are designed to hold your Nalgene water bottles. Kinda hard to get to when your pack is on. The fabric, build, and comfort are very good. My first pack since Boy Scouts though, so I can't compare it against other modern packs.
