Bora (wind)

Bora, I believe its name derives from the Greek mythological figure of Boreas‚ the North Wind. I most definitely felt the north wind on a 2 month long southern Patagonia trip living day in and day out of my Bora 65 pack. I had my Bora loaded, weighing in at 18Kg. (39.6lbs.) at the start of the Torres del Paine circuit.. This pack was just as comfortable on day one as it was on day seven, That being said... I am a big fan of the Bora. This piece was made in the Phillippines and I feel as though Arc'teryx did a fine job overseeing the quality of this pack.
