Arc'teryx Bora 80 Backpack - 4390-5000cu in
Bora 80 Rocks
By Lee Siemens
Ranked #764 - Weeklong Packs (Over 4500 cu in)
July 15, 2005
The material it is made out of is amazingly tough. I used my 80 on some hikes up to the old copper mines in the heart of Wrangel St. Elias National Park and it held up very well. I was climbing on rocks that ripped my Nalgene bottle to shreds and the 80 came out with hardly any marks on it (I wasn’t taking it easy on it either). The kangaroo pocket is awesome, I don’t know how I lived without it before. The hip belt is very nice and takes most of the load and puts it on your hips. It is also waterproof, it was raining for 3 solid days and my stuff stayed dry the whole time. I also was able to fit it as a carry on when I flew on the plane.
