I have just one question, and that is whether or not the Bora 80 is water proof? It says that it is weather resistant, but does it truly keep your gear dry?

If you are looking for totally waterproof, then you really want a dry bag. For short hikes, one of the SealLine Boundary Dry Packs will work (http://www.backcountry.com/sealline-boundary-dry-pack), but some of them don't have a waist belt and this can be murder on the back. For longer hikes (or if you are hauling lots and lots of stuff) the SealLine Pro Pack 115 is a great dry bag, but still won't be as comfortable as a regular backpack (http://www.backcountry.com/sealline-pro-pack-115-dry-bag). If you want a very nice, highly water-resistant pack that is just short of a drybag, the Arc'teryx Arrakis 50 (and 65) should be considered (http://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-arrakis-50-backpack-3057-3661cu-in).

Hey Ryan, In a similar size Arcteryx, the only option that I know of is going to be the Naos 85 (item#ARC0426). For the extra $275 it's going to run you, you can buy a whole lot of dry sacks for your gear and one hell of a nice pack cover, but if you need it, it's as 'waterproof' as it's going to get.

Short of an actual dry bag with shoulder straps (usually very uncomfortable) the Arc'teryx Arrakis is the most waterproof pack you'll find. BC.com has it in the 50 L version here: http://www.backcountry.com/arcteryx-arrakis-50-backpack-3057-3661cu-in The biggest version currently sold is 65 liters, but I don't see it on this site.

No, it's not waterproof, but it does a good job of holding out moisture for longer and keeping your gear dryer than most.
