EMS Four Wheel Jive Pack

EMS Four Wheel Jive Pack


Positioned as a bag for the Urban / Campus / Business / Travel user, this pack gets my thumbs up and is my favorite in the lineup. Pretty large as far as daypacks go, you could definitely use this one for a weekend away if you travel light. The large laptop compartment is well padded and hold all but the biggest 17 inch laptops. (my old 17 inch HP pavilion did not fit).

Features
Large well padded shoulder straps soften the blow of carrying a large load. The waist belt is more of a strap for stability but it can be tucked away which keeps a nice clean look to the bag.The back padding is substantial and comfortable
There is a laptop sleeve compartment that does have a hydration port if you find yourself needing to convert it for a dayhike. But that’s not really what this pack is about. Next to the laptop, the EMS Four Wheel Jive has a pretty spacious Main compartment which will probably hold the bulk of your gear. The main compartment has two smaller sleeves which are ideal for you underwear and socks. (I’m going with the travel theme on this bag)
The front compartment of the EMS 4 wheel Jive has your standard organizer panel with padded sleeve for you iPhone, a key fob, one zipped pocket and a bunch of smaller pockets and sleeves for your other junk.
Two side pockets on the 4 wheel jive confuse me, because while they could easily have been designed to hold a water bottle, they clearly do not. Perhaps a good place to stash your mains-adapter for your laptop, or food you don’t want to mix and mess with your cloths.
Oh, but the EMS 4 Wheel Jive is not finished with pockets yet, to keep your OCD happy, there is one fleece lined sunglass pocket and one vertical-zipped front pocket for that bit of gear you need access to all the time.

EMS Four Wheel Jive – Bottom Line
Too big for a hiking daypack, but perfect for travelling, and suitable for someone who commutes to work and needs to take their workout gear with them in one bag.
