    If you get a model with a waist strap, you can loosen the shoulder straps and let the weight of the pack rest on your hipbones instead of your back. That's the only way I can ride comfortably with a pack.

    In retrospect, I probably should have gone up a notch to the Magic, which has the waist strap but still is pretty small.

    Interesting....I could have sworn I had the Aurora, but mine has a waist strap. I wonder if I have a newer or older model. But, yes, I prefer having a waist strap.

    ETA: I'm an idjit. I just looked up the Magic, and that's what I have. In the words of Emily Litella (if anyone is old enough to remember SNL circa 1976), "nevermind."

    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
