Looking for the Experts to compare the Baltoro with the Arcteryx Bora 65. I weigh about 145 lbs and expecting carry about 45 lbs. So comfort is the primary issue. Thanks.

In all honesty you can only learn so much from reading and looking at packs online. The best thing for you to do is to go to a good outdoor store (i got my baltoro at REI) and try on both of them, load them up with some weight walk around, go up and down the stairs and see which one feels best to you

I've carried about 45 lbs in the Baltoro on a trip to Glacier NP about a year and a half ago. Being 120 lbs myself, I will say that it was relatively comfortable for being over a third of my body weight. I try to go light when possible but if I need to carry a bit, Baltoro is my choice. The reason why I bought the Baltoro to begin with was because it was the most comfortable pack I had tried on that could carry that load. Of course, everyone is different. I don't have experience with the Bora 65, but I can say that you'll be able to carry a larger load in the Baltoro simply because it has more capacity.
