You need to use a minimum recommended 10000mAh power bank, which is placed in a small pocket inside the backpack. The backpack has a twin cable to attach the power bank, one thicker than the other. Since it does have a motor for the vibrations, I recommend not carrying it out during torrential rains as it could ruin the bag’s primary function — the massager. Being a fitness enthusiast myself who works long hours during the day, incessant back pain has become more of a part and parcel of my life than just a one-off occurrence. I found that the Classic Pack was more than sufficient to fit all my daily essentials which include an emergency change of clothes, my 15-inch MacBook Pro, my iPad, my diary, a one-litre water bottle and some knick-knacks that I carry with me daily. It doesn’t have any built-in battery but depends on an external power bank to keep it powered.  

The model I have received is the EUME GenX 26L (signature edition) that retails for around Rs 4,499 on Amazon. By fitting motors neatly in the back — near the shoulders and lower back — EUME ensured that they havent compromised on the style quotient and no one will presume that this backpack has such a unique trait. At the front, there are also two quick-access pockets with the anti-theft system that can be used to hold some easy-to-access items like lower denomination bills or small change. This can be especially useful during especially humid days or even China fire alarm cable for that matter commuting in a cramped Mumbai local. Overall, I feel that a lot of thought was put into the design and finish and the folks over at EUME haven’t rushed with the production but instead launched a product that is well refined.Moving on, the shoulder straps are adjustable and for the massager to work at its optimum, one should adjust it accordingly to hit the desired spots on your upper back/shoulders and lower back.The EUME bag comes with a weatherproof design that makes it possible to carry around during light showers.While I found the bag big enough to carry all my daily goods, it does come with a compact design, that’s also lightweight making lugging it around a non-bother.The backpack has four vibrator motors, and each pair is placed to concentrate on an area of the body, respectively.  

This makes adding your important items like credit cards, smartphones, passport and cash completely secure. Two are present on the upper side which does their job on the shoulder blades, while the other two work on the lower back.It comes in various colours, and in for review, I have the understated dark grey/black combination. If you feel that this option is a bit expensive, then you can opt for a slightly cheaper model that’s priced at Rs 3,999.So how does this massager get its power? While EUME has thrown in all the motors to ensure that I get the steady vibrations, its up to you to power the backpack.. Apart from the shoulder adjustments, there is also a strap that runs down the centre to further tweak where you would like the massaging units to be placed. It comes with a neat 180-degree opening that’s convenient for accessing all the items easily. The 26-litre model is known as the ‘Classic Pack’ while there are two others which are dubbed as Daily Pack and Travel Pack. So, I jumped at the opportunity to review it as — A)  

I would be able to get unlimited free back massages, and — B) who in their right mind would say no to a new backpack that’s absolutely littered with pockets ranging from a slot for a laptop to another one to store your daily clothes?Design, Build:The EUME (pronounced as You-Me) backpack is a world’s first-of-its-kind as it features built-in massaging vibrator motors, and by incorporating this tech in it the brand has not in any way compromised on design and style.The EUME massager backpack as the name suggests is a backpack that has the insanely cool feature of having a massager built into its fabric. At the back, in between the motors for the massagers, are air channels that allow airflow to reduce the amount of sweat accumulation. This doesn’t mean that its immune to theft, but rather, the zippers are concealed making them a bit difficult for thieves to access easily. The storage space in here is ideal for your regular office commute or short business trips. There is a secret pocket too where valuables can be safely stored.PerformanceTo start off, the backpack comes with an anti-theft design. The Daily Pack is rated at 27L while the Travel Pack can fit a capacity up to 42L
