Best Clear Bags For Lollapalooza: What You Need To Know | Rachel Bloom Festival Bag Guide

Transparent Style. Smart Function.

If you're headed to Lollapalooza, chances are you've heard about the clear bag policy. But what qualifies? And are there better alternatives that still meet the rules? In this guide, Rachel Bloom breaks down what you need to know about clear bags for Lollapalooza — and introduces smart, secure options that pass inspection and look amazing doing it.

What Are Lollapalooza’s Bag Rules?

• Clear Bags: Must be no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".
• Small Clutches: Allowed up to 6" x 9", do not need to be clear.
• Backpacks: Not permitted unless fully clear and meet size limits.
• Hydration Packs: Must be empty and meet transparency standards.

Rachel Bloom Alternatives That Comply

While not actually clear, many of our Smart Bags fall under the “small clutch” or crossbody category and comply with most music festival policies — including Lollapalooza’s 6"x9" exception rule. Always double-check with the official site before the event, but here are our best picks:

The Smart Belt Bag

Ultra-compact, hands-free, and equipped with fingerprint lock and GPS tracking. Most users wear this as a crossbody or waist bag that passes security checks with ease.

The Smart Crossbody

Stylish and functional, this sleek festival bag is small enough to pass through checkpoints — but powerful enough to protect your valuables.

The Smart Mini Backpack

For those needing more room while staying within policy, our Mini Backpack offers security and style without the bulk of traditional packs.

Why Not All Clear Bags Are Created Equal

• Most offer zero theft protection. Anyone can unzip or reach in quickly.
• Style is often sacrificed. Cheap PVC bags rarely complement a festival look.
• Durability is an issue. Many tear or fog up in the heat and sun.

FAQs About Clear Bags at Lollapalooza

Can I use a non-clear bag?

Yes — if it’s a small clutch 6"x9" or smaller. Rachel Bloom bags like the Smart Belt Bag often qualify under this rule.

Do your bags pass festival checks?

Yes — many customers have used our Smart Belt Bag and Crossbody at major festivals with no issues. Always confirm with the latest Lollapalooza guidelines to be safe.

What if I want to be 100% sure?

Use a clear bag for guaranteed entry — and pair it with a secure Rachel Bloom pouch or RFID wallet inside for added protection.

Get In. Stay Safe. Look Good.
