As the biggest pack in the Arc'teryx line, the Bora 95 Backpack represents is ideal for week-long backpacking trips and large-scale expeditions. With a massive 5500cu inches of cargo space (medium), this Arc'teryx backpack holds all the gear you could possibly want to carry in one trip. The Bora 95 uses dual 6061 aluminum stays and thermoformed straps to give you excellent support and comfort while you heft your monster load. A large front pocket helps keep gear organized while the side zipper lets you access gear without unloading this giant pack.
Bottom Line: Count on the Arc'teryx Bora 95 Backpack when you need an absolutely massive pack for a big load of gear.
You can probably carry every piece of outdoor gear you have ever owned in this pack. it's that huge. I took it to the alaska backcountry for a month and it never let me down. the hip straps are super comfortable on your hips, and the brain detaches as a makeshift summit pack.
I would like to see a few more organizational features on this pack, but it's real intended purpose is to haul EVERYTHING for long slogs on expeditions.
This is without doubt amongst the best backpacks on the market. And I would be very surprised if it wasn`t. But, as with all things, it`s not perfect. It is claimed that the volume is 95L, but it does not feel like that when I use it on trips. I also think that the sleeping bag compartment is to small for my winter sleeping-bag. And as with all gear from Arc`teryx, its not exactly cheap. At least not where I come from.
What I appreciate with this pack is that it has a whole lot of straps you can fasten gear on. Groundsheet, ice axe, fishing rod and so on. The straps also gives you great comfort while hiking. The pack is highly adjustable, which i find very important. Although it is a little tricky to figure out at first, you will appreciate it, cause it allows the pack to fit your back perfectly. It has a large front pocket that I like , where I use to keep my jacket, camera, snack etc. There is easy access to the front, main, and top pocket with the waterproof zippers. And the pack has actually, for now, been waterproof. Although, a few drops of water will always find a way inside.
The most significant thing about this backpack is the comfort when carrying heavy loads. If you know how to load it properly, 30-40 kg does not feel as heavy as it should feel. The comfort is the best I have ever experienced.
I would recommend this backpack to hikers who is experienced with heavy loads and long trips. If you want a backpack for just a weekend on the mountain, I would get another one. Expeditions and long trips is the Bora`s main sector.
take tape measure and put the number one on the back hip and then measure up to your neck or just go to www.Ospreypacks.com and look at pack sizing and it will tell you
I've used this back on several extended backpacking trips. I can fit everything (including two bear canisters), and the pack still looks good. I wish they made the 95 in a women's version. I also have a Bora 62. I've had that pack for years and it still looks like new (with the exception of being faded). You won't be disappointed with this pack.
