Coachella and Something in the Water might be behind us, but festival season is in full swing. Music festivals are tons of fun; losing your iPhone, cash, and ID, however, is not. That's where side bags come in: with their multiple pockets and zips, these accessories are perfect for keeping all of your essentials safe while enjoying what's happening on stage.

Although tiny bags have become a bit of a trend, you're going to need something a little larger to carry your phone, shades, sunscreen, and other paraphernalia. To help you find the perfect bag before you hit your festival(s) of choice, we've browsed through retailers including HHV and Caliroots to bring you some of the steeziest functional side bags available online — and all for under $100.

Starting with outdoor wear label Patagonia, we've included everything from go-tos that'll never go out of style to trendier streetwear brands such as Carharrt and Stussy. With prices starting at just $31, there's really no reason for you to pass up on a new side bag this festival season.

Peep all of our favorite festival side bags below.
