| The Arc'teryx Bora 35 keeps gear in place and organized for a day on
the trail. Arcteryx uses their V-stay suspension to gently handle heavy
loads. Signature Arc'teryx effects including kangaroo pocket with drain
hole, and WaterTight zippers, designate the Bora 35 as an enlightened
load carrier. Laminated internal pocketing, and a dedicated sleeping bag
area, combines with the removable top lid that can be used as a fanny
pack, to insure that gear stays organized. The Arc'teryx Bora 35 is
built with breakthrough suspension technology and ergonomic design. Now
the world standard, the Bora hipbelt features four layers of foam
laminated and thermoformed into a curved, cupped shape that gives
agility to even a fully loaded pack. Travel over rugged and irregular
terrain with a Bora on your back will be a comfortable affair. Bottom Line: Enlightened engineering brings comfort and control to a day on the rocks.
Reviews (3): I own an Arc’teryx Bora 65 and love it. It is by far the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. So I was a bit let down when I bought the Bora 35. The pack itself was just what you would expect: tough, rip proof, kangaroo pocket, just like the bigger Boras. The suspension however, leaves much to be desired. Now I realize that a 35 liter pack is meant for short day hikes and that 20lb is probably the max I would be carrying, but this pack was uncomfortable with 12-15lb after a few hours on the trail. The shoulder straps are quite thin with minimal padding, and the waist strap is a simple, thin, nylon strap. No hip padding whatsoever. So after two hikes I sent it back. My other complaint is the hydration sleeve which performed poorly with a two-liter Camelback bladder. A single liter would probably work fine though. So if you're looking for the same great comfort you'd find in the Bora 50, 65, or 80, this isn’t going to cut it for you. The Bora 35 is an awesome backpack for "car to car" in a day excursions no matter if you're hiking, backcountry skiing or climbing. The suspension is the heart and soul of this pack, combining a breakthrough in technology and ergonomic design. WaterTight zips and urethane impregnated fabric significantly upgrade strength and storm resistance. Ideally sized for day hiking, climbing and cragging.
