Hydration packs and easily portable water bladders are typically associated with sports such as hiking, but the fact of the matter is that consistent hydration is critical during music festivals due to the copious amounts of time spent in the sun and often copious amounts of alcohol involved, which is precisely why Grasshopper Gear has come up with a hydration pack specifically designed for this environment.
Grasshopper Gear, which is based in Chicago, designed the 'Duet' hydration pack to include a 3-liter water bladder. However, on top of hydration, this pack also offers easy access to personal items such as your smartphone thanks to the inclusion of a pair of chest pockets. On top of that, this design has been thoughtfully engineered in order to make it possible for you to detach the chest pockets, lest they not be permitted in festival grounds.
The 'Duet' hydration pack is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign and can be reserved for a pledge off $79.
