Camelbak/ Hydration pack options

[Joeboy69]

Any views on the Camelbak Aurora. My wife wants to replace her Camelbak, so I am deciding whether to buy it or go for the slightly larger Camelbak Magic. She never does more than 2 hours but drinks a lot :-)

 

My thinking is that the smaller one will be less arduous to keep on your back but I'm unsure if it has enough packing space (she is a bit of a hoarder) ....

3L is a lot. Most I generally drink from the pack is 2.5L over 4 hours, plain water. Then usually have one 750ml something else(Rehidrat or USN Energy). 2L should be fine. Looks like a nice pack too. The magic looks like a female version of the Lobo, Lobo does have a bit more space and the nice pads for better airflow, but filled to 3L it is pretty heavy. It does offload nicely to hips though. My advice. Have her try both and see which she prefers.

Still my favorite (And I've tried a lot of hydration packs) - I use it with water and then I fill a 750ml bottle with something sweet like Energade / Isotinic Game or something like that and store the botle on the downtube
