Ideal for long days hiking, climbing or scrambling across the terrain, the Bora 50 Pack from ARCTERYX can handle the demands of tough days in the backcountry. The harness system moves with you through dynamic moves and fast packing sessions.

Spacious enough for overnighters, the Arc'teryx Bora 50 Backpack loads many convenient features into a practical sized pack. Organize gear in the large top lid or front kangaroo pocket, quick-draw water from the stowable bottle holder, and personalize the fit with interchangeable thermoformed hipbelts.
The Arc'teryx Bora 50 Backpack has enough cargo space to carry all the gear for a plush overnight camping trip and ultra-comfortable suspension to make the hiking as enjoyable as possible. In addition to the Bora 50 Backpack's 2880cu inch (medium) main compartment, it also includes a front kangaroo pocket, a lid pocket, and two stowable water-bottle pockets. Arc'teryx used their thermoformed waist-belt and back panel technology to give this overnight pack a comfortable carry. A single aluminum stay supports the load, even if you go a little overboard on the comfort items.

What you would expect for the price | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
This pack is great and exactly what you would expect for the steap price. the top compartment is water resistant with a water resistant zipper. meaning your stuff in the lid wont get wet in a light rain. the should strap and hip belt are thick and comfortable and support heavy loads well. This is the burliest hip/ shoulder straps that I've seen on a pack of this size. this bag is not overloaded with pockets and water bottle carriers, for me this is a good thing. there is one compartment on the top of the lid and one on the bottom of the lid, there is also a kangaroo pocket on the outside of the pack. This pocket is small and is only good for small items that you might want to get to with out unpacking everything. | |

Best Backpack | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
I just recently purchased this backpack and already I love it. Its durable and long lasting. The zippers on the bag is tight and durable. I traveled to Europe for a week this backpack was all i needed. Its comfortable with its padded straps. The bag is somewhat water resistant just dont pack anything you dont want to get wet in the toplid. The bag has many storage compartments, also some hidden ones to keep valuable papers. One draw back to the bag is its weight the bag could be a lot lighter. Over all I would most definitely recommend picking up this bag for long trips. | |

"great pack" | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I ordered a mercury one and this pack didn't disapoint me. You can always trust arc'teryx because their products are top line. Compare to the old bora 50, the new bora 50 looks not as tough as use to be, but i believe the fabric is still very sturdy. The suspension system is very comfortable. I love all the details. This is a pack you can use for decades. | |

"It is a great pack for 1 to 4 day hikes if you don't bring too much." | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| I like the great workmanship as well as the superior material. It does not have an adjustment for length so if S M L don't fit, don't buy. If you pack it to the max, the sides of the top cover are to short. The outside pocket could be a little deeper. Comfortable with 14 KG on an all day hike but you need to be a minimalist! | |

"Awesome durable pack worth every penny." | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Extremely well made pack. Holds and distributes a big load really well. Fabric is bomb-proof. All zippers and seams are very strong/durable. Overall awesome pack... Kept all my gear and clothes dry in a downpour without a raincover. | |

All around pack | |

This pack gives me everything i want from a multi-day pack. materials are sturdy and superb quality, good padding and straps. Too large for a 50 liters pack. Fitting on my back is really good. | |

"I'd consider another pack" | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| Arc'teryx usually puts a lot of thought and forsight into their products but this pack leaves much to be desired. The back cushion is far to firm and unyielding, the padding on the shoulder straps doesn't come down nearly far enough causing painful pressure on the pecs and the elastic chest strap is so stretchy it doesn't do the job. Too many useless zippers and hiding spots(adds too much weight) and the hip belt adjusters are backwards. My 2 cents. | |

"Get the Bora 65 which has all the features of the Bora 80" | |
| Rating: | ![]() |
| While it looks like a miniature version of the Bora 80 and is made of the same quality, it lacks all of the features that make the 80 a great pack, namely the side entrance zipper and a separate compartment for the sleeping bag. I was looking for a pack that would carry several days worth of supplies. While it may have the capacity, it does not have the desired features. | |
