DESCRIPTION

CITADEL 20 includes the following:

• HANDLE

• MAGNETIC KEY RING

• REMOVABLE STERNUM STRAP

KEY FEATURES

• SHAPED ERGONOMIC SHOULDER STRAPS WITH A REMOVABLE MAGNETIC STERNUM STRAP

• SEPARATED AND SUSPENDED BUILT-IN LAPTOP SLEEVE

• FIDLOCK® MAGNETIC KEY RING

• HYPALON THEFT-DETERRENT LOCKING ZIPPER PULLS

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, separated 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 and weatherproof. Laser-cut and Bonded hypalon panels embedded in its shell add structure where it's needed.

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.

A more comfortable & functional upgrade
I'm really happy with this backpack! Switching from the Citadel R1 25L to the R3 20L was the right move for me, as the smaller size suits my slimmer frame (175cm/55kg) much better. The new materials strike a great balance between flexibility and durability, making it easier to pack while still being...

Sleek, quality construction
Sized down to 20L from 25L. Happy with decision. Shoulder straps make my 3x weekly commute (car, train, walk) more comfortable. Weatherproofing is solid. On the tad heavier side, but was expected due to use of quality materials.

Love my backpack
Love my backpack. It's the perfect size. It's flat on my back and I love the design. Only thing I wish for is to have a separate bottle compartment on the side or inside but that only comes with the larger one.

2 weeks in Citadel.
Great build quality. Comfortable to wear. Pockets are good but need tech cases or similar as additional org since no admin panel. I would have like a dedicated pen slot somewhere. Not for a traditional pen but an Apple pen. Lastly it fairly heavy but price to pay for great quality materials.

The Black Ember Citadel 20L
The Black Ember Citadel 20L is an impressive design with innovative features and excellent material choices. From my personal perspective, incorporating a mix of ballistic material would be a great addition for enhanced durability. However, a few enhancements could make it even better for everyday c...

Best backpack I have ever owned
I was looking for a simple small-medium sized backpack to carry while traveling and this one did not disappoint. The bag itself was very well packaged out of the box and felt like it was made of quality materials. There are plenty of pockets on the inside and outside with tons of storage for extra s...

Great everyday carry backpack for the office
Excellent well designed backpack that is the perfect size for everyday carry to the office. The laptop pouch with magnetic closure is well thought out and easy to work with. The fabric is very durable and the bag keeps its shape so you can operate zippers one-handed when needed, which makes it very ...

A Daily Carry Masterpiece
Stunning quality, materials and design. Finally found my go to daily bag. My previous Black Ember bag was the first Kickstarter original Citadel, this is basically a stealthier, sort of more rugged compact version and definitively the company improved on a ton of aspects. Truly a masterpiece.

Il est parfait avec ce
Il est parfait avec ce sac mon Mac est en sécurité lors de mes déplacements, j'avais peur que le sac soit trop grand mais il ne l'est pas, je regrette tout de même le fait que la version 18l ne soit plus disponnible car je préfère les format plus compacte mais le 20l reste une bonne alternative.
