Clear Sparkles LED Hydration Rave & Festival Bag

Glitter suspended in a clear shell, lit from behind in every colour at once. Yeah, it's a lot. That's the point. ✨

Clear Sparkles is the showiest pack in the line, and the only one with a multi-coloured LED strip — several colours glowing along it together rather than one flat tone. The transparent shell is packed with glitter, so when the panel comes on the whole thing lights from the inside and the colours scatter through the sparkle instead of sitting behind it. Three modes (solid, blink, rapid blink), 18+ hours on one set of AAA batteries, and a real 2L hydration pack underneath it all, with a hidden anti-theft pocket flat against your back and a chest strap to keep it steady. 💞

Why you'll love it

• It's the multi-coloured one. The only Drippy pack with several LED colours in the strip — the rest are single-colour.
• The glitter lights up with it. A clear shell over suspended glitter means the glow scatters instead of sitting flat.
• It lasts the whole night. 18+ hours per set of 3 AAA batteries, removable so you can carry spares.
• It stays put. Adjustable shoulder straps plus a chest strap.
• 2 litres of water. 500ml more than the mini line — fewer trips to the refill station.

Clear Sparkles LED hydration pack specifications

Will it get into your festival?

Bag size limits are set per event and published by the festival, so check yours before you travel rather than assuming. The number you need: this pack is 15 in (H) x 7 in (W) x 4 in (D).

Our Coachella bag policy guide works through one event's rules in full, and rave vs hiking hydration packs explains why some festivals limit compartment count rather than size.

Taking it to Burning Man?

Black Rock City has no bag policy and no pocket limit, and the official Survival Guide lists “lights for your bike and your person” as required kit — so an LED pack does a job there that a plain pack doesn't. Read the Burning Man hydration guide before you go.

Frequently asked questions

Does it have a chest strap?

Yes. All four LED colorways have a chest strap across the front in addition to the adjustable shoulder straps, which keeps the pack from shifting while you're moving. Note that the Drippy mini packs do not have one — they're shoulder straps only.

What colour do the LEDs glow?

This is the multi-coloured one — the strip carries several colours that glow together, rather than the single fixed colour the other three use. One thing to be clear about: you can't select or cycle the colour on demand. There's no colour button. The three modes change the flash pattern — solid, blink, rapid blink — while the colours in the strip stay as they are. For single-colour packs: Silver is blue, Hot Pink is white, Midnight Black is red.

How long do the LEDs last?

18+ hours on one set of 3 AAA batteries — a full festival night with room to spare. Because the batteries are removable rather than sealed in, you can carry a spare set for a multi-day event and swap them in seconds instead of hunting for an outlet.

Does it come with batteries?

No. It takes 3 AAA batteries, not included. Standard alkaline AAAs work fine, and so do rechargeables.

Is the glitter printed on or actually inside?

Inside. The glitter is suspended within a clear shell rather than printed on the surface, which is why it scatters the LED light instead of sitting flat against it — and why it doesn't rub off.

How much water does it hold?

2 litres, about 68 oz — 500ml more than the mini line. How much you actually need across a day depends on heat, effort and what else you're drinking; more in how much water you need at a festival.

Can I wear it in the rain?

The shell is TPU-protected, the zippers are water-resistant, and the battery pack sits inside a water-resistant pocket rather than exposed. It handles rain and spilled drinks; it isn't made to be submerged. We haven't published a formal water-resistance rating rather than quote a figure we can't stand behind.

How do I clean the hydration bladder?

Remove the bladder, hand-wash it with warm water and mild soap, then hang it open until fully dry before storing. No dishwasher, no washing machine. The pack is spot-clean only. Full method in how to clean a hydration bladder.

What size person does it fit?

Shoulder straps are fully adjustable and there's a chest strap to fine-tune the fit, so it works across a wide range of body types and layers over a jacket. A specific chest-size range hasn't been published yet — we'd rather measure it than guess.
