December 22, 2008
my bora 80 has endured the impassable woods of westren nc . thickets so thick eric rudolph eluded the fedral govet for 5 years in them .
been out alot and in these times of economic uncertany I know that ill always have a home with my bora 80.
im still finding features with this pack that serve me well ive had to adapt to keep things organized by adding a compartmentd bag to my gear to keep small items accessable but the rig is flawless
I dont use 1/2 of the external strapping options but I imagine if I did id double the range of this thing relitively easily
I do wish arc teriyx offered some cylindrical bags for the sides but beyond that I cant see a whole lot o f room for improvement
well done
