About the Product
Weighing in at just one pound, the Magic™ is ideal for days when the weather is clear and the trail is calling—days when you want to ditch most of your gear to travel fast and light. With 2 liters of hydration capacity, it carries enough water for a substantial 2+hour ride.
Small but mighty, the Aurora is just the right size for essential gear and hydration for 2 hours in the saddle. The interior features an elastic loop for your pump, plus organizer pockets to keep your tools in order.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
CamelBak Magic Women's Hydration Pack, 70oz
  • Awww! The straps are wider and more comfortable than my previous Camelbak. They take the pressure off my upper back and neck.
  • I love this backpack! It fastens tight and doesn't bounce around when I want to run down the trail.
  • This is a very compact camalbac pack. It the fit nicely lightweight. The material is strong and the design is very practical.
  • With my body shape the waist strap is pretty much superfluous. Because the pack is quite small and sits high on the back, the waist strap sits very high up (just below the tip of my sternum).
CamelBak Aurora Hydration Pack, 85oz
  • This is such a useful backpack. I use it to go hiking, and it's so convenient and tiny that it doesn't get in the way or weigh me down when I'm rock scrambling.
  • Its lightweight and carries 2L of water. The mesh pouch can be tightened to hold items securely.
  • It is compact, pretty, and caries most of the snacks I would need for an OCR but not everything I'd need for a long hike.
  • I really like this pack! I used it for a duathalon race and was very happy with how comfortable it was. And if course it is very pretty.
  • This fits great. I appreciate the different cut from the men's version as it fits around my chest better. It's comfortable to use, easy to fill and stays cool for a long time.
  • Bad design and would not recommend bag and gasket. Backpack is smaller than expected. Barely holds a cell phone.

What customers say about "Features"
CamelBak Magic Women's Hydration Pack, 70oz
  • Perfect for a half day hike, plenty of water and snack room. Filled it with ice and water, kept me cool during the hike. Very comfortable against bare shoulders.
  • The straps are easily adjustable and because the chest strap can be placed at any height, there are lots of different ways to wear this. I find it barely moves at all when I run.
  • The water valve is very sturdy and doesn’t leak. The space where you insert the bladder is quite undersized and makes for a snug fit, but it’s not a deal breaker.
  • The tube pops off of the clip, other than that, it is perfect.
CamelBak Aurora Hydration Pack, 85oz
  • Refilling the reservoir is extremely easy. I only do day trips, this little guy is able to fit my phone, climbing gloves, keys and a sandwich in addition to the 2L of water it carries.
  • It held my large phone, itouch, snacks, and sunglasses perfectly in place. The adjuster for the shoudler straps is on the bottom, which is great!
  • It holds enough water for a half days ride and has more than enough pockets to hold my cell phone keys and jacket.
  • Love the color. Perfect for hiking. Doesn't leak when you put the lid on correctly. I use it all the time for hikes, running, and long walks.
  • Works great! Just enough storage space for a wallet and some sunglasses and misc bits. Fits great and easy to use.
  • It didn't leak within the return window, but the last two times I've used it, it has leaked all over my car completely emptying the bladder before I even started the hike.
