Jammy Pack Review ~ Fun Summer Product
It’s summer time and why not celebrate in style; with some good music. Everyone has some iteration of a smartphone, so why not plug it in and bring the music everywhere you go. Enter the Jammy Pack! JammyPack is all-in-one high-kicking, fist-pumping, retro throwback portable speaker fanny pack that easily connects to any smartphone or mp3 player.While it’s not new; the JammyPack is here to add some style to your summer celebrations. Just think of all the people you will impress at the weekend BBQ, music festivals, camping, cruiser rides, or simply walking down the street to your own tunes?
The idea for Jammy Pack was born in Newport Beach, Calif., and prototypes were tested in the Colorado Rockies. In 2009, Jammy Pack officially set out to create their ultra-hip and retro, high-performance portable sound machine. According to Jammy Pack founders, “What began as a product for the beach and your occasional escapade with friends, has grown into something bigger than we could have dreamt: Bridging the gap between action sports and music, Jammy Pack embodies freedom. A social tool designed for the perfection of the party, recreation, and frothy lounging.”
The Test: The Jammy Pack review was collected on closing day at Stowe Mountain Resort (it doesn’t get much better for a Jammy Pack). From rocking out on the chair lift to crushing the spring bumps and tailgating in the parking lot, I had music all day long. And I’ve continued to test this product while skateboarding, hiking, biking and hanging out with friends.
The Rating
4.5 (out of 5)
Design: Offered in a variety of colors and several styles, you can never go too wrong with a fanny pack. +1
Style: Fanny packs are not everyone’s style. Typically they are not mine unless dressing up in some form of ridiculous costumes. But it’s a fanny pack and you have to feel comfortable rocking it to pull it off with style. +.75
Durability: I did not get the rechargeable battery, and definitely used up regular disposable batteries pretty quickly, but the sound was great when it had full power. +.25
Performance: JammyPacks pump loud, using the highest-quality, water-resistant, silver-stamped magnetic, open-source, mini-speakers; boosting 3W of stereo-amplified beats per speaker. +1
Comfort: The adjustable hip belt allows for the pack to reside wherever you feel it is most comfortable. +1
