I'm 145 lbs, 6'0" with a 30" waist, intending to hike 20 miles a day on the CT, with 50+ lbs of gear, food & water in my pack. Is this a reasonable expectation? Would this pack work for this?

Brandon, I paid $100 to swap out the hipbelt on my new Altra. My info from the rep is that ArcTeryx does not do free swapouts in the US. Not happy about that policy. Can you confirm or deny it?

The Arc'teryx Bora 80 is made for just such a trip. While it's a bit heavier than some other packs of this volume, the suspension, and harness system will actually carry your load so well that it may seem lighter overall. One suggestion, it seems like you'd be a tall, but need medium harness components. This is easy to swap out, and you can contact Arc'teryx to get the smaller hip and shoulder harness if, indeed, the ones on the tall are too big for you.
