The CITADEL 20 is a smaller version of our original urban everyday pack. The third collection in the CITADEL series brings new features while still delivering a lighter-weight pack built with EmberTex™. Over a year in development, this twisted nylon 6 has an abrasion-resistant matte finish with no PFAS (forever chemicals).
The new CITADEL 20 features a magnetic, separate and suspended laptop sleeve, a protective quick-access pocket, and our latest T6 aluminum hardware.
The CITADEL 20 features our latest textile: EmberTex™. With EmberTex™, we have now removed all PFAS (forever chemicals) from our supply chain. EmberTex™ is a twisted nylon 6 with an abrasion-resistant matte finish, a lustrous texture, and a smooth hand feel. The 1200x600 Denier gives it more structure for ease of packing and access. Combined with YKK® Aquaguard zippers, the CITADEL 20 is durable, making this a weatherproof laptop backpack. Laser-cut and bonded Hypalon panels embedded in its shell add structure where it's needed. All these features combined give you an awesome weather-resistant backpack.
All Black Ember products are made using our BOND-STITCH™ high-precision construction. All textile components are laser-cut for precise assembly. This construction yields a functional, durable pack with a blacked-out, minimal aesthetic.
It's a weatherproof Laptop backpack, a weatherproof commuter backpack, and a comfortable everyday carry!
