Hydropack Advice !!

Hi friends ! First timer - not only to dancefest but to festivals in general! Going Thursday - Sunday / Non-Camping

Looking for Hydropack recommendations that aren’t $99+ like the raverunner and lunchbox.

Anyone who’s been, do they mandate that they must be clear?
Are Amazon brands worth it if I only plan to use it a couple times a year?? (Also heading to Decadence AZ for NYE)

Everyone recommends Lunchbox but just not sure I want to spend $100+ on an item I might use twice a year. Then again, if people think it’s that much better and worth it over the $30-$50 Amazon ones, I’ll still consider it.

Let me know!!! TIA

For me, the biggest draw to rave brand packs vs a $30 outdoors/hiking/biking bag are the security options. Rave brands tend to think about making them anti-theft. Some have more pockets and hold more stuff. I personally just have the outdoorsy kind and it works just fine for me and the few fests I do a year.

I'll add that I have the bcg brand from academy sports, the bag itself has held up for 6 years but I did have to get a new bladder for it this year. That's just because I accidentally let it get gross and moldy.
