Arc'teryx Bora 75

I love this backpack! Previously, I owned an old Camptrails external, and when it was time to get a new pack, I tried on, what seemed like, hundreds of packs trying to make the right decision.

This pack felt good in the store and feels great on the trail. It carries well and fits even me, a small person, while allowing me lots of packing room. Most people would choose a lighter model for long distances, but I took this on a thru-hike of the Long Trail in Vermont and was perfectly happy and comfortable carrying it for a month.

I highly recommend this pack: no more aching shoulders and back. Now I can simply enjoy the mountains themselves.
