The CamelBak Magic is for the days when the weather is fairly clear, and you don’t need to take a lot of gear – but want a couple of pockets for the essentials, as well as a 2 litre hydration pack.

3 Essential Skills for Beginner Mountain Bikers

This pack carries 4 litres, plus the hydration, and suits a two hour ride. It weighs just one pound and includes hooks for your helmet, plus a zipped front pocket with room for a phone, card and keys.

The removable waist belt will provide stability and there is also a tailor made pocket for your bike pump plus magnetic strip to hold your drinking tube.

The women’s specific version has S-curved straps and a shorter pack length for a perfect fit and we found it at Wiggle for £59.99.
