Finding one backpack that fits all your needs is damn near impossible. What happens with the camera, or the clothes, or the laptop when you don’t want to carry them all the time? What if you need a hard drive for all your photos when you’re traveling, but you don’t need to carry it every day? It’s hard to find one bag that could be everything to everyone, but this new modular backpack from Ember Equipment is a good candidate. In its most minimal form, the Ember Backpack is a cordura nylon 20L pack with padded internal laptop and tablet sleeves, two weatherproof exterior pockets and six magnetic lock attachment positions. That’s great and all, but the real magic comes with the add-on components: removal laptop sleeve, hard-cases, military pouches, U-lock strap, compression straps, utility straps, cargo handles and an iPhone case. If something isn’t exactly where you want it, just move the container you store it in.
