With Its 2l Hydration Bladder And Multiple Pockets, The Sojourner Hydration Pack Is The Ultimate Festival Essential For Staying Refreshed And Organized

Review: "No leaks! No issues! No stress! I was so worried this would leak or the material would tear since I wear it to a lot of festivals and treat it pretty rough. It’s held up just fine. Looks brand new still. The design is gorgeous and it really pops. No drip from the hose or mouth piece. Very comfortable mouthpiece and shoulder straps feel light on my shoulders." - Aubrey guinn

 Liquid I.v. Hydration Multiplier Lemon Lime: Quench Your Thirst And Replenish Electrolytes Faster Than Water Alone

Review: "When it's hot and you are sweating a lot and maybe not drinking enough fluids, this liquid IV really refreshes and restores your energy fast. Great product. The flavor is decent too, although I wouldn't buy it just for the flavor alone. Buy it because it is effective against dehydration (in addition to drinking plenty of plain water of course)." - REcap
