This bag is absolutely awesome for festivals. I just used it at a 2 day festival and it was even better than I expected. The quality is great, it seems really well made and looks like it will last a long time. The design is really well thought out. The main compartment is actually the full size of the bag, unlike with the Lunchbox bag which is cut in half vertically. The hydration pack is hidden in the back and barely takes up any space so you still have a huge area for all your essentials. The inside has side pockets at the top for easy access to small things like gum. The side mesh pockets stretch pretty well and can fit a water bottle easily, I also was able to fit a pashmina rolled up. The chest strap system is great and it easily comes off and can switch sides, which I did so I could have the hose run down the left strap. The pockets on the strap are a good size too and fit my phone no problem. The other thing is that this bag distributed the weight really well and it was fairly comfortable even when it was heavy. I had the full 2L hydro pack, multiple power bricks, extra clothes, trinkets, and other essentials and my bag was probably 20 pounds easily (I'm an over packer) but I really didn't notice it that much because of how comfortable it was. I know not everyone needs that much space but it's still just nice to have. I could not have fit nearly as much stuff in my wife's lunchbox bag so for me this one is far superior. And I haven't even gotten to the accessories. The aura reflector, light rope, and disco ball are awesome additions to this bag. I got so many compliments on it and it was cool lighting up the crowd at night. There are a lot of different designs on the app for the aura reflector too which is cool. My only gripe was that the straps were a little too short. I'm 5'6 and it felt a little awkward at times, like it was too far up on my chest. However, it seems like they have addressed this with the 2.0 version so I will probably be getting that one and giving this one to my wife or a friend. Do not think twice about buying this one. It may not have the name recognition of Lunchbox but it is cheaper and much better in my opinion.
The Elytra hydropack is a GAMECHANGER the amount of storage is insane and soooo clutch !!! I also am a huge fan of the anti-theft features and the accessories like the aura reflector!! I always get SO many compliments 🤩🤩
This is the cutest festival bag EVER!! I love the anti theft features, the amount of storage is incredible and PERFECT since im a chronic overpacker. I also adore the accessories you can pair with it!! The aura reflector has to be my favorite, I get so many compliments when I wear it out!!!
I decided on the elytra because i liked the way the bag looked like an actual backpack, and also because the 2.0 was made with larger straps. im 5’7 and 180lbs, so i needed something made for bigger people. The shoulder straps have a nice firm cushion that make using the pack all night bareable, even when its full. I also wanted a larger led matrix, so picking up the 2.0 elytra with the aura reflector was a no brainer. The materials are light weight and the pack feels well made. My pack had a small error on the outside fan pocket, where the elastic net pocket is sewn with its edge flipped into the backpack where they connect. it made the tension for that pocket stronger however, and it keeps my fan even more secure. All the clips and zippers feel high quality, and open and close without getting stucm. I also got a free lumilight with my bag, and its an ABSOLUTE MUST for keeping my stuff secure.
It can keep the aura reflector working for about 12 hours, or you can get one full fast charge for your iphone. Its able to charge my iphone 16e in about 1-2 hours. It takes 3-6 hours to charge, depending on the charger. The charger provided took nearly twice as long to fully recharge the battery than my usb type c charger. I’ll definitely need another boost pack for my phone
