For multi-day backpacking trips or your next climb up Mt. Hood, the Arcteryx Bora 65 Backpack was designed for those extra-long weekend adventures in the backcountry when you need more gear than a simple over-night, but don't want to haul an expedition size pack. With interchangeable thermoformed shoulder straps and pivoting waistbelt, you can get a customized fit that will provide distinctive on-trail comfort. Arcteryx built the Bora 65 for comfort and used only the toughest materials for durability and strength, and while their backpacks may be a bit heavier that some ultralight bags on the market, you will be more comfortable carrying a heavy load with the support, suspension, and load transfer of an Arcteryx Bora pack.
Designed with spirit-freeing weekends in mind, the Bora 65 from ARCTERYX has a high-volume kangaroo pocket to stash lots of gear, and the supportive Vapor thermoformed suspension makes it a pleasure to carry heavy loads.

The Revised 2007 Bora 65 Backpack by Arc'Teryx is a great pack for multi-day trips into the backcountry requiring substantial amounts of food and gear, and the Bora 65's thermoformed suspension system comfortably shoulders the extra load. With a larger volume kangaroo pocket, sleeping bag compartment, and full-length WaterTight side zipper, loading and finding gear is quick and easy.
The ArcTeryx philosophy is simple: transfer the load of the pack to those areas that best handle the weight while not restricting or adversely affecting movement. Outstanding Arc'Teryx technology yields an incredibly confortable and durable pack.
Extra-long weekends require more food and gear, and with the thermoformed suspension system the additional load is a pleasure to carry in the Arc'teryx Bora 65. With a larger volume kangaroo pocket and full-length WaterTight side zipper, loading and finding gear is quick and easy.

Makes me feel FAT | |
| Rating: |  |
Yep, i feel like a total fatass wearing this pack. That's because i don't feel any weight hanging off my shoulders or pulling me back at all. It feels like i just got 50 lbs heavier when I put the pack on. | |

I snatched up the bora 65 four years ago and still love it! i've used the pack for pretty much everything...from traveling overseas to a day pack for rock climbing. You can load it up heavy and the super plush hip belt transfers all the load with easy. That pack has a great fit and you won't be sorry on long hikes. I was going to purchase the bora 80, but i'm glad i went with the 65 instead. The material and quality of the pack is bomb proof and I haven't had any issues after 4 years of abuse and multiple luggage checks at airports! The pack is pretty pricey, but you won't ever need to buy another one. my tag says made in canada...but I think the new ones are being made in the phillipines. | |

Good Stuff. | |

Earlier last month (October), I took the pack through the Grand Canyon as well through the NY Catskills these past few weekends. The pack is comfortable and expands appropriately if needed. I like the side zipper; I was able to access the contents easily without unpacking everything from the top. In addition, the external 'zippered long pocket' is perfect for my tent and camelpack. Some of my hiking has been in the rain and the pack seems to be water resistant but not moisture resistant hence the need to wrap everything inside is plastic bags (should be doing that anyway). I will purchase the rain cover (read in another post). I have not trail tested other packs of this size but overall, I happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this pack. Enjoy! | |

"Buy this pack" | |
| Rating: | |
| This pack comes w/ holsters that fit nalgenes perfectly in a damned good location for grabbing. The fit is amazing, and the pack moves with you as you move around. It even has metal stays that bend to fit your back! The only change I would make is to make the brain bigger, however I think it is the size it is because it doubles as a day pack (it has an additional buckle for this use). It has a side entry for easy access. The bottom compartment has a zipper that allows you to creat one giant compartment if you want. The clips undo themselves before you can break them. To sum things up, evertime I go backpacking I realize another awesome feature this pack has. I | |

Worth the money | |

I purchased my pack about three years ago, and it is still holding up as good as the day I bought it. Super durable foam padding that stays firm and comfy for years, great suspension system, and plenty of features and accesory buckles and straps. The zippers are stout and sealed, and with the rain cover, this back is bomb proof. The only complaint I have is one of the lashes for the Nalgene bottle holder no longer works, the clip broke first time out, and I haven't gotten around to replacing it. Pain in the butt though, as the bottle won't stay put without that cinch. Long story short, a great technical pack, with a price tag that is as hefty as the features. | |

Bora (wind) | |
| Rating: | |
Bora, I believe its name derives from the Greek mythological figure of Boreas the North Wind. I most definitely felt the north wind on a 2 month long southern Patagonia trip living day in and day out of my Bora 65 pack. I had my Bora loaded, weighing in at 18Kg. (39.6lbs.) at the start of the Torres del Paine circuit.. This pack was just as comfortable on day one as it was on day seven, That being said... I am a big fan of the Bora. This piece was made in the Phillippines and I feel as though Arc'teryx did a fine job overseeing the quality of this pack. | |

great pack | |
| Rating: | |
Had this pack for about 3 years or so, awesome pack, i've used it for everything. Weekend wintercamping, summer camping, overnight trip with a snowboard and backcountry gear, even sinches down good enough to make for a daypack carrying my snowboard. I've loaded it down with 60-70 pounds of gear and it held it tight. Love the pack, arc'teryx gear and clothing across the board for life as soon as i get a job that can pay their prices for all of it! | |

Bora 65 | |
| Rating: | |
did a week trip in the smokies on the A.T. This pack had the most comfortable hip pads ever and never sagged down. it rained pretty good and the pack was waterproof for the most part. sleeping bag got wet in some areas. all you need is an extra pack cover like a trash bag and you will be fine. had plenty of room for six days of food and a heavy jacket. best pack i ever used. | |

"Don't look for another pack!!" | |
| Rating: | |
| Great pack! Comfortable on the clavicle, easy on the iliac crest. The harness and belt system make this pack worth the money. Overall construction is tremendous: durable near waterproof material, brilliant kangaroo pouch for easy access, and strong zippers that resist popping when you stuff your gear. For a tall skinny guy with not much mass, this pack made it seem like I was carrying 30 lbs not 45. Bottom line: excellent pack. worth the extra cash | |

Good investment | |
| Rating: | |
Got this pack 3 year ago. Use it for for backpacking, traveling and snowshoeing. It's a robust bag and very comfortable. I like the slim long design (allows me to fit a pair of fins with sleeping bag compartment closed). The only thing i was disappoint of was the removable top that can be use as an independent bag : it doesn't work well for that purpose. Overall, highly recommended, worth the price. | |

"Probably a very fancy pack, but the carrying system doesn't work for me" | |
| Rating: |  |
| I've tried this pack in a store. It's probably a very fancy pack with lots of fancy features, but the carrying system is very clumsy to adjust. It's not very comfortable either so it wasn't an option for me. | |
