I've read great things about the fit and durability of Arc'teryx packs, but feel that the Bora 65 may offer more capacity than I need. Does anyone know how the Bora 50 compares to the 65 as far as quality, fit, comfort and useful features?
I plan to use it camping and trekking this summer in Southern Ontario and the Canadian Rockies. Has anyone used it in similar climates, and if so, did you find that it made you sweat a lot?

Southern Ontario is the summer is of course very hot and humid, but realistically no heavy-duty pack is going to offer you very good ventilation, despite claims. Suggest you don't worry about that at all - just get what fits and works for your needs. If you plan on trips longer than an overnighter, and you're not packing superlight, then default to the larger size (e.g. 65 litres).

The Arc'teryx Bora 50 uses the same quality material for the body of the pack and shoulder harness. The hipbelt will be more trim as you won't carry as much weight with the 50 (theoretically). Arc'teryx uses a wicking material on the harness and has channels across the back pad for some airflow. That being said, if it's quite warm (probably not a problem in Ontario), you'll sweat a bit. For the 65 liter, you can compress the pack and remove the lid to decrease the overall volume.
