 This Camelbak is Magic! January 7, 2008

I researched hydration packs obsessively before going to Egypt (it being the desert and all). This was absolutely the perfect product for the trip. I often think "made for women" products are silly, but in this case, it's true -- my husband's Camelbak is painful for me to carry, and this one felt weightless. It is perfect for small people (I am 5'2"); it holds plenty of water, even for the desert; and it has more storage than you'd think. It could possibly have used more space for carrying spare clothes; but it easily held my guide book, balance bars, hat, sunglasses, keys, chapstick, wallet, etc. My only criticism is that Camelbak needs to make covers for the suction part for sanitation. Otherwise, I think the Magic is about the greatest thing to happen to adventure traveling.
Camelbak Water while you pedal; the best July 27, 2010

As a long distance bicycle rider of 125-150 miles per week, you need stamina, good nutrition, and most importantly, hydration. The camelbal lets you sip Gatorade, water, or any liquid thru the straw in the easy to carry backpack; can't live without it and have used if for years; Once you try it, you will feel the same way. It's the best investment you can make for your riding and comfort.
Women's CamelBak Magic works like magic! August 19, 2010
Mary
I was looking for a hydration pack that also had storage space, but was not too big or heavy, to use for mtn biking. I'm a small female, (5'3", 108lbs)and everything I had tried were either too big or too bulky. I ordered the Magic, which is a specific women's fit and it worked perfectly. I love it. The 1.2L reservoir is perfect for a 3 hour ride and it has 2 zippered compartments that allow me to carry my cell, camera, snack bar, sunscreen & bug wipes, chapstick, and money. There is additional storage just by loosening the side straps, where I can stuff my windbreaker, behind the bottom compartment. What I like best about the Magic is the fit. I'm short waisted and the Magic fits great on my back without being too long. It's very comfortable thanks to the strategically place padding/ventilation and the wide shoulder straps and the waist strap gives extra security to eliminate bounce while mtn biking.
Not bulky - very compact. August 24, 2010

I bought this Camelbak for my daughter to be used as a hydration system more than a backpack while cycling and it is perfect. It is more compact than the one I bought myself, but I wanted the extra room to use mine as a backpack, so I opted for the larger one. She wanted something that would feel "barely there" and look stylish and more comfortable. Its smaller reservoir makes it a lighter weight pack. When you fill it with ice and water, it helps to cool her back while riding too, although it is suttle. It does have ample pockets for her protein bars and other essentials while on the trails and she is very pleased with its quality and workmanship. All four of us have Camelbaks of varying types and sizes and we are all very happy with them. You can't go wrong ordering this item as long as you realize its smaller capacity and overall smaller size. If you want a back pack for hiking with lots of extra room, this is not the pack for you.
 MP3 is lame February 3, 2009

I like this Camelbak, it fits well, but false advertising by Camelbak on how it accommodates MP3 players. Marketing material says has an MP3 holder but only some years and some colors actually have the port for the earphones. I thought Camelbak was smarter than that. I don't get their inconsistency. I waited for the new model because it said it had an MP3 holder, but it's just the regular pocket and I have to leave the zipper partially open for the headphone wires. Like the Camelbak, bummed about them creating a false expectation. And why DON'T they have a port for the earphones?
