Arc'teryx Bora 80 Backpack - 4390-5000cu in
Review Title

The thermoformed hipbelts on this pack carry this backpack and load @ 25-30 lbs lighter than anything currently in the backpack genre'. I have a 31" waist and this hip belt and v-stay suspension are a dream whether it is packed to the gills for 5+ day backpacking in Windriver WY or packed with gear for an approach to a multi-pitch this pack has minimal swing weight to rival its ski and technical smaller cousins. Bora: the flask of whiskey and the end of the day for pleasure instead of pain.
