I'm considering buying the Bora 65, but I've stumbled on a rumor of Arcteryx overhauling the bora for 2010. Is this true?

The Arc'teryx Bora 65 isn't overhauled, it's replaced by a pack called the Altra, which uses lighter fabrics and the suspension of the Arrakis. The Bora 80 and 95 continue. If you like the super plush suspension of the Bora, you'd better grab one while you can. The new pack has a cool u-shaped panel opening, and will go up about $25 for the same volume. These will probably arrive just after the first of the year.
