Arc'teryx Bora 65 Backpack - 3720-4330 cu in
Only THE Best Ever Pack Ever!

When I was younger, my father used to load up our canvas rucksacks with 4,783lbs of who-knows-what before we would begin our torturous, bruising, always tear-inducing death march into the mountains. Having survived this primitive Canvas Age rite of passage; a cheap external frame; and a few clunky weeble-wobble, spine twisting internal frame packs, I now find myself in the empyrean nestle of the Arc'teryx Bora 65. Purchased 2006, I've used it backpacking more than 27,000 vertical feet over 84 miles in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and Arizona. It's definitely not an ultralight pack, but is highly water resistant, super durable, and spacious (+compressible). While it's missing some of the cooler features, such as hip belt pockets and rocket launcher, it is the most comfortable, well-designed long-distance pack I have ever owned.
