The Arc’teryx Bora 65 is a backcountry beast. A hiking backpack that is built to carry a good amount of gear smartly, features and a general design make this $300+ pack worth it for more serious wanderers of the wilderness. There is a bigger 75-liter option for longer outings.
While the Roto-Glide hip belt can rotate for a natural stride and shoulder straps can be adjusted in height and width, the ventilated back panel keeps your back feeling cool even after hours of hiking. Arcteryx has a Bora in male and female options and regular and tall iterations.
The backpack is made from Cordura Nylon with a respectable 210D rating for durability. Water resistance is as good as any premium pack. The Bora is created to be top-loading, meaning you fill it up from the top down. This is usually a downside, although this model has side zippers that allow you to reach the gear you placed in the bottom at any point.
Organization, comfort and quality make this hiking pack worth checking out.
