| The Arc'Teryx Bora 50 supplies enough space for action packed
afternoons and trailside overnighters. A legendary pack for the crags,
the Bora 50 has the versatility to take on mid-winter ice climbing,
spring day hikes, and summertime camping. Arc'teryx WaterTight zips and
urethane-impregnated fabric work overtime to upgrade the Bora's strength
and storm resistance. All Bora packs offer award winning suspension with
breakthrough technology and an ergonomic design. Now the world standard,
the Bora hipbelt features four layers of foam, laminated and
thermoformed into a curved, cupped shape that allows the agility needed
for travel over mixed terrain. As with other Boras, the 50 has the
little extras that count including a big kangaroo pocket with drain
hole, a top lid pocket with key clip & map pocket, and gear loops
galore. Bottom Line: Ingenious engineering for a day on the rocks or trailside camping.
Reviews (2): I've never owned a pack this nice. Design and workmanship are top notch. It packs down nice for the shorter trek while long day trips are definitely do-able as well (maybe even the light overnighter). I've heard that the short side pockets are a waste in this pack. I pack a Nalgene in each pocket with a carabiner to the daisey chain and found it to be no problem. "You get what you pay for" rings true with this pack. I just got back from two days of ice climbing in and around Rocky Mountain National Park. The Bora 50 was rock solid and very comfortably carried probably 40lb of gear. Very stable when trekking to the ice falls and when climbing. Highly recommended! The Bora 50 Backpack by Arcteryx is constructed with rain repellent urethaned fabric and storm sealing WaterTight zips. Thermoformed suspension makes light of heavy loads of gear.
