Product Overview
The Kemp USA Ultimate EMS Backpack is Kemp's established workhorse EMS pack, offering the same comprehensive compartment layout and operational features as the PREMIUM model at an accessible price point, with a 600D tear-resistant nylon shell that balances durability and economy for agencies equipping large crews or replacing bags on regular rotation schedules. Kemp USA has manufactured professional EMS bags from their Charlotte, NC facility for decades, and the Ultimate represents the foundation of their EMS backpack lineup.
The 20" × 13" × 18" profile accommodates a comprehensive BLS or ALS loadout. The two large 10" × 13" × 3" front pockets organize the most-accessed supplies: the upper pocket features a dedicated zippered sub-pouch for small essentials, while the lower front pocket uses elastic retention loops to hold bandaging, airways, and supplies securely upright. The two 19" × 7" × 4" side pockets — one with fixed dividers, one with removable utility pouches — provide segregated staging for assesssment tools, IV supplies, and equipment that providers reach for frequently without opening the main compartment.
The built-in D-tank oxygen cylinder straps on the exterior keep O2 accessible without occupying main compartment space. A reflective stripe improves crew visibility in roadway response and low-light scene environments. The adjustable padded shoulder straps support comfortable multi-floor building carries and extended scene operations.
Ultimate vs. PREMIUM Ultimate: Choosing the Right Tier
The standard Ultimate EMS Backpack (600D nylon) is the right choice for: agencies replacing bags frequently, newer crews, lower-frequency deployment environments, or budget-constrained procurement. The PREMIUM Ultimate (1680D Cordura) is the right choice for: high-frequency operations, agency bag programs where capital equipment is tracked for multi-year service, water rescue applications, and crews who regularly subject their bags to demanding terrain. Both share an identical compartment layout and feature set.
