The Citadel Collection from Black Ember is composed of some seriously sleek backpacks. The sleek part comes courtesy of the three layer micro-hex build and bonded construction, which absorbs light and delivers a enough protection from weather that you could spray the damn thing with a high powered hose and nothing inside would get wet. If you want, you can go modular, meaning you’ll get lash points and magnetic load panels that allow you to attach pouches and straps so the bag fits whatever activity you need it for. If you’re pretty sure you won’t need to accessorize your bag, you can’t opt for the minimal model, which keeps a clean look. Other clever details include a magnetic key holder, a contoured back panel for comfort, and shoulder straps that tuck away so you can use the bag like a briefcase. You can back the bags on Kickstarter now.
