Previewed at the outdoor industry’s gathering in Salt Lake City last week, the Bora AR Pack asks long-distance and alpine trekkers to, quite literally, suspend their beliefs about pack comfort. Active Junky found the fast-but-secure adjustable fit hit the mark with wearers from 5’6” to 6’4” (based upon the two people who tried it). The Roto-Glide Hip Belt is where the action is, with two-dimensional movement that’s more akin to a light day pack than an expedition-worthy piece. Follow Arc’teryx’s lead, rethink what it means to travel and get ready to extend your adventures in 2017 and beyond.
