Hydration packs aren’t just reserved for hikers and runners anymore — they’re also an essential festival accessory that has saved my dehydrated butt more times than I can count. And while there are a number of smaller, sling-style bags out there now, if you’re going to go front row or spend all day trekking from stage to stage, trust us when we say that you’re going to want a solid backpack-style hydration pack like our favorite ones from Cotopaxi can’t be beat.
The best part is that you can hook yourself up with the all the proper outdoor gear for summer festivals this season on the cheap, because everything from hydration packs to concert size-approved hip bags are up to 60% off right now at Cotopaxi. While it’s also a great opportunity to score off-season fleeces and down jackets for much less, it’s worth it to invest in a hydration pack even if you’re feel more like the crowd-surfing type than the embodiment of Bear Grylls.
Lagos 15L Hiking Hydration Pack
$58.00 $145.00 60% off
We like the Lagos 15L Hiking Hydration Pack, which weighs just under two pounds and has enough room for a 2.5L reservoir (included) and space for your other essential carry (think sunglasses, wallet, sunscreen, etc). You can score it for a whopping 60% off, bringing the price down to $58 (normally $145). while it’s meant for hiking, the pack is made with ventilated and super breathable materials so you won’t be sweating from carrying it on your back all day. And we like how easy the bag is to wipe clean, especially after a dusty day in the desert at Coachella or Stagecoach.
Lagos 25L Hiking Hydration Pack
$64.00 $160.00 60% off
If you’re in a big group and seem to always find yourself carrying everyone’s stuff, this 25L Lagos Hiking Hydration backpack from Cotopaxi is also about as versatile as a bag can be — and it’s $96 off right now. Inside there are several pockets and compartments that help maximize capacity, and most importantly, a and a 2.5L reservoir for your H2O. The build quality and materials — 100% recycled 210D ripstop nylon with PU backer — are also pretty rugged, so you’ll get years of rough use out of it.

Keep in mind that every festival has their own individual rules when it comes to hydration packs — for example, Sips & Sounds Festival allows all hydration packs as long as they are empty upon entry, but Ultra Music Festival, on the other hand, only allows hydration packs that are not backpacks. Some festivals may also have clear bag policies, which might apply to your hydration pack. It’s always best to check the specific rules of the festival you’re attending, but if it’s specifically a size-related rule, Cotopaxi has a lightweight hip pack version of their popular hydration packs that can keep you hydrated while you search for that water station.
