what is the difference between the Aura 65 women's and the Ariel 65 women's?
I got the Aura 50 and it's a great pack but decided I needed a bigger one for that bit more of clothes and food. Thanks for your answers!

This is a pretty belated reply at this point, but for the record, the Aura has the "Airspeed Suspension" back panel (i.e., mesh held under tension with an inch or so of air space for ventilation) whereas the Ariel has the corrugated foam back panel, aka, "AirScape".

Eva, there are a couple big differences between the packs. First is the suspension, this pack has the foam mesh back panel and the Ariel has the Airscape which some people prefer. The weight, this pack is over a pound lighter than the Ariel and also has more pockets than the Ariel. They are both excellent packs and would do the job. It comes down to which pack you think would be best for you. The Ariel would probably handle heavy loads better if that is a requirement for your hiking style.
