1. A highly rated clear backpack with side pouches, a front pocket, inside pocket, and mesh inserts that'll make it sooo easy to keep track of all your belongings.
Promising review: "My wife and I ordered two of these bags specifically for a weekend long music festival for our family of four. We were very impressed with the build quality at this price point. Both bags lasted the weekend and beyond to other large events. The pair of bags held everything we were allowed to bring in to the festival for two people each and had room leftover to bring merchandise home. The plastic material kept the dirt and small liquid spills out of our bags. The dual side water bottle pockets can easily hold 30-ounce Yeti Rambler up to a 1L Evian bottles at about 3" diameter with no issue. The main compartment has a handy mesh pouch with a zipper conveniently placed at the top for easy access. The smaller outer compartment contains a variety of mesh sleeves and a pouch." —B
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I have been looking for a while for a bag that would suit my needs and hold a laptop, walkie-talkie, lunch to bring in, water bottle, and many other miscellaneous items.

Finally a plastic backpack that is actually strong and stylish! Highly recommended for work or school! Not to mention the straps are padded and sturdy this is a very comfortable bag.

Promising review: "I bought this to take to a festival and it was great! I used it for four days and I never felt like it might break. It held a water bottle, cups, keys, koozies, phones, wallets, other smaller bags, and I still had room leftover. It shuts securely so your items are safe. 10/10 great purchase" —SK

6. A semi-clear stadium-approved backpack that ticks the boxes of being spacious and waterproof but provides juuust a smidge more privacy than a totally transparent option.
Promising review: "I like this bag because it is a tad bit more unique than other similar transparent bags in that it has the mesh-like pattern. I have had it for a few months now, and it has stood the test of time with me lugging it back and forth to school and work. It is spacious and easily fits my laptop in addition to a handful of notebooks." —Claire Rorick
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in 10 colors).

7. A small but mighty convertible backpack with shape-shifting abilities...well, almost. It can be worn as a shoulder bag, crossbody, or regular ol' backpack thanks to its removable (and adjustable) shoulder straps!
Promising review: "It's nice and small but it carries quite a bit. Even with my phone, two small wallets, four masks, a pack of Tums, and a few more odds and ends, it still had enough space to put a concert shirt I bought inside. It held up super well and I'm still using it a few days later. It breezed me and my girlfriend through security and the seams look really sturdy. If you're looking for something to meet size requirements and also have enough room to put things in, this is a good one. So many ways to wear it too because of the multiple rings." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love the side pockets on these as it was easy to slide in a small cell phone charger as well as things I would need on the fly such as chapstick or wipes. The front large pocket was great to keep my vax card (so that I would not have to take it out at security check point) and anything else I would need right off the bat. Super spacious bag that was sturdy and could hold all of the things I needed to get through three days of music festing." —Melissa Garcia
