Description

Problem
 
Heavy backpacks have been an age-old problem across all age groups. Carrying more than 10-15% of your weight on your backpack is not allowed in many countries, but this law is never really enforced upon, or taken seriously. Backpacks are used for almost all purposes, including but not limited to, commuting, hiking, biking, traveling for personal or professional work, schools, colleges, and sporting reasons.
 
Solution
 
Eume‘s three different TSA compatible backpacks come with a built-in massager that includes two points to massage the shoulders and back, with adjustable straps to let users move the massage points to where they feel best. Eume’s backpacks are also designed with a flexible back torso to hug the back of the wearer, helping to maintain a straight posture and alleviate weight distribution when carrying heavy loads. A front strap also helps keep the bag in place when the massager is activated. All of the bags also come with a rain cover, reflectors to make the wearer visible at nighttime, and anti theft features that include hidden pockets for valuables and covers that can easily be slipped on the bag’s zippers.
