Silver LED Hydration Rave & Festival Bag

Ever tried to find your friends in a dark warehouse at 2am? This is the fix. 💦

The Silver LED pack is chrome, mirror-bright, and lit from the inside in blue. The light panel runs three modes — solid, blink, rapid blink — for 18+ hours on one set of AAA batteries, which is longer than any night you're realistically going to have. Silver is the loudest of the four colorways in daylight: it catches every bit of stage light before the LEDs even come on. Underneath it's a proper hydration pack — 2L of water, a hidden anti-theft pocket sitting flat against your back for your phone and ID, and fully adjustable straps with a chest strap so it stays put when you move. Hands free all night. See you in the lasers. 🦄

Why you'll love it

• People can actually find you. Three light modes in blue, bright enough to pick out across a dark crowd.
• It lasts the whole night. 18+ hours per set of 3 AAA batteries — and they're removable, so a spare set covers a multi-day run.
• It stays put. Adjustable shoulder straps plus a chest strap, so it doesn't shift around while you're dancing.
• Your phone doesn't get stolen. The anti-theft pocket sits against your back where nobody can reach it in a crowd.
• 2 litres of water. The extra 500ml over the mini line matters when refill stations are far apart.

Silver LED hydration pack specifications

Will it get into your festival?

Every event publishes its own maximum bag size and the limits genuinely differ, so check your festival's published policy before you travel. The measurement you'll 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?

Blue. Straight answer on how this works, because it's the thing people most often get wrong: the colour is fixed and cannot be changed on demand. The three modes change the flash pattern — solid, blink, rapid blink — not the colour. Each colorway ships with its own LED colour: Silver is blue, Hot Pink is white, Midnight Black is red, and Clear Sparkles uses a multi-coloured strip that shows several colours at once. None of them have a colour-select button.

How long do the LEDs last?

18+ hours on a single set of 3 AAA batteries. That covers a full festival night with a lot of margin. The batteries are removable rather than sealed in, so for a multi-day event you can carry a spare set and swap them in about ten seconds — you're never stuck with a dead pack and no outlet.

Does it come with batteries?

No. It takes 3 AAA batteries and they're not included, so pick some up before your event. Standard alkaline AAAs are fine; rechargeables work too.

How much water does it hold?

2 litres, about 68 oz. That's 500ml more than the mini line. How much you actually need across a day depends on heat, how hard you're dancing and what else you're drinking — we go into that in how much water you need at a festival.

Can I wear it in the rain?

The shell is TPU-protected and the zippers are water-resistant, and the battery pack sits inside a water-resistant pocket rather than being exposed. That's built for rain and spilled drinks, not for submerging. We haven't published a formal water-resistance rating because we'd rather test it properly than quote a number we can't stand behind.

How do I clean the hydration bladder?

Pull the bladder out, hand-wash it with warm water and mild soap, then hang it open until it's completely dry before storing. Never a dishwasher or washing machine. Storing it sealed while damp is what causes odour. The pack itself is spot-clean only. Full method in how to clean a hydration bladder.

What size person does it fit?

The 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. We haven't published a specific chest-size range yet — we'd rather measure it than estimate.
