Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Pack - Big, tough, and water tight.

If your more of the adventure going outdoor enthusiast and less of the “hang out around camp” backpacker; you likely have a lot of gear. The more extreme the activity, the more gear you will need to carry. Thankfully there is the Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Pack. Designed to carry super heavy loads and bulky equipment, the Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Pack has room for just about any outdoor activity you have in mind.

The Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Pack is unmistakably large, but wears just like the average sized backpack even when fully loaded. You can thank the Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Packs suspension system for that. The pack has a V-Stay suspension system that uses load transfer rods to distribute the packs load evenly across your back. The hip belt is a laminated four layer foam that is thermo formed to contour to your body and eliminate pressure points.

Made from the super tough RipStorm nylon, the Arc’Teryx Bora 95 Pack can handle a wide range of elements before it ever needs a rain cover. The RipStorm and 420 denier WaterTight material give the pack outstanding durrability and water resistance. Add in the beefy waterproof zippers and you have one tough, huge, backpack.
