Summary:
Nothing to say about this pack, but something that you should realize about the comapny. Jacket zipper fell apart after just three around town uses and was told that it was the "zipper's fault". Repaired but refused to replace.

Summary:
this pack is awesome! I originally bought the ladies pack over the mens pack because of the sale, but it fits me great. the pack is one of if not the most comfortable pack on the market and expands and contracts greatly. i have had no problems with the pack and am planning an AT thru hike that I will use it on. I am confident that it will perform flawlessly.

Summary:
I have the Bora 65 (which is very similar to the 62) and I'm really happy with it. It's a pretty expensive pack but it's been very comfortable. I'm particularly happy with the hipbelt; the hipbelts on most men's packs aren't very comfortable but you can get a women's hipbelt on Arcteryx packs. Wheeeeee!! It's also a good size for me - it carries what I really need for a 3-5 day trip but no more.

Customer Service:
I emailed Arcteryx a question and they responded within 2 days. No complaints.

Summary:
Very comfortable, after the initial time spent bending the stays and adjusting the harness, it fits like a glove. I do wish I could strap my sleeping pad underneath the pack (I have to strap to the front) but that's ok, it just makes the cover (also ArcTeryx) a little tight at the bottom. Also I couldn't beat the price, this pack retails in the US for $320US but is only $306CD in Canada. I suspect ArcTeryx may be raising their Canadian pricing as they have done with their outerwear... let's hope not.
