"Best overall. Arc'teryx Altra. Combine the legendary durability of Arc'teryx's Bora series with the ultra-stable, swiveling-hip comfort of its Naos series (an Editors' Choice Award winner in 2006), and you get the new Altra. You might also get the only big-load pack you'll ever need." - Backpacker Magazine 2010 Gear Guide, Editors' Choice Award
