Looking for the Experts to compare the Bora 65 with the Baltoro 70. I weigh about l45 lbs and expect to carry about 45 lbs. So, comfort carrying a relatively heavy load by a slender person is the primary issue. Thanks.

The key here is whichever pack fits you better. In my experience, arc'teryx packs are the best fit, IF they fit. They tend to only fit a small range of people, but the people they fit love them. Gregorys are a little more flexible, fitting a wider range of people. One feature that really sets this pack apart from the Baltoro is the aluminum stays in the backpanel. These stays increase comfortable load capacity by transferring more weight to the hip belt. Also, by bending the stays to fit the profile of your back you can get an even more comfortable fit. Also, the durability of the Bora is legendary. Some features that the Baltoro boasts that the Bora lacks are the Response suspension system and better organization. The response system is basically a suspension that moves with you. the hip belt is attached to the pack with a rotating disc that increases mobility, which is nice when you are navigating tricky terrain. The organization is more of a personal choice. Overall, I think the Bora is a better choice, but you need to go into a gear shop and get them fit to you. Just because you are a small person doesn't mean you need a small pack.
