WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunchbox, the last festival bag you'll ever need, today launched with a $25,000 goal on Kickstarter. Lunchbox is the ultimate festival hydration pack that addresses the top issues plaguing festival goers including rampant pickpockets, backed-up water lines, and prohibitive security restrictions that prevent acceptably sized bags from entering the venue.

More than half of all Americans will attend at least one music festival in 2018. Current statistics point to as high as 1 in every 7 festival attendees getting pickpocketed. In 2017, one man stole 100 phones in just one day at Coachella Valley Music Festival. When you factor in the number of hospitalizations due to overheating and dehydration the issues facing festivals are compounded even further.

"Music festivals changed my life, but I realized early on that they too, inherently, needed to be changed," said Tom Worcester, CEO and founder of Lunchbox. "For me, festivals are home. I actually lost 70% of my hearing at four years old - electronic bass is the only music I can really hear, and it created an environment where I felt most comfortable. We built Lunchbox to address real problems faced by the festival community. It's about giving back to a community that's given so much to me."

Lunchbox features include:

Heavy-duty ballistic nylon, strengthening areas most commonly cut by pickpockets
Patented, insulated refill system, cutting pack refill time to under 30 seconds.
Dimensions that meet the restrictions of the top 50 festivals in the United States
Zip-on skin designs to change it up from festival to festival
Compatible EL wire to light up at your favorite stage
Easy-to-access strap pocket for meds, keys, etc.
Charging compatibility
Side wall pockets
Dedicated sunglasses pockets

"After hundreds of interviews and countless hours of research we're finally able to come to market with a pack that perfectly satisfies the restrictions of top festivals, and the demands of attendees," said Worcester. "We built the most lightweight, compact, customizable and comfortable bag to get festival goers through the entire day"

The Lunchbox Kickstarter funds will supplement the first run of production. The first 25 pledges of $59 or more will get the Lunchbox for 50% off retail price of $120. The Kickstarter will run through midnight on January 15, 2019.
