Incredible Features

I just returned from a July 4th trip into the El Dorado National Forest in California, after just receiving my new Bora 80 pack. Though I didn't get to test it's suspension on a long hike (we canoed in to our campsite), I can vouch for the well-thought out features. Firstly, the "kangaroo pouch" allowed me not just an area to stash wet clothes after swimming, it is a huge additional pocket for anything that you might need fast access to. The lid/fanny pack was also much more comfortable than I thought it might be. The side-access zipper allowed me to easily see/find things deep in my pack -- so great was this feature that I'll never get another pack without it. The list goes on and on. This pack is absolutely incredible!
