CITADEL 20 - EMBER ORANGE : CORDURA® RN66 VELOCITY (LIMITED EDITION - SOLD OUT)

$ 239.00
DESCRIPTION

CITADEL 20 includes the following:

• HANDLE

• MAGNETIC KEY RING

• REMOVABLE STERNUM STRAP

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 CORDURA's latest re/cor™ RN66, 100% recycled fabric : 420 Velocity.

The new CITADEL 20 features a magnetic, separated and suspended laptop sleeve, a protective quick-access pocket and our latest T6 aluminum hardware. 

For the CITADEL we specified CORDURA's new 420D Velocity, the latest textile in the CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 collection of 100% recycled textiles. Velocity has a matte-shine finish with a water resistant top coating that repels dust and dirt and a multi-layer polyurethane back side to keep water out. 

Black Ember is proud to be the world's first brand to collaborate with CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics on the launch of its new CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 collection. It is the first 100% recycled nylon 6,6 textile from CORDURA®.

When compared to virgin N6,6 production CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 produces 83% fewer GHG emissions, consumes 82% less energy and uses 57% less water.

The CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 refers to recycled Nylon 6,6. That 6,6 rating means it's a high tenacity nylon and that it is ultra-durable. CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 has passed the brutal barrage of tests that make a woven nylon CORDURA® brand certified.

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 super durable, over-engineered pack with a blacked-out, minimal and stealthy aesthetic.

Awesome

"Great color and awesome organization — have so many to slots and pockets to organize my work stuff. It’s also a good waterproof material (great for me, rains a lot where I live)."

— Caleb T. (5/5)

Great for Laptop

"very cool and unique laptop carrier!"

— Greg B. (5/5)

Expensive

"I like the bag but the import duties put the cost of it over 300 Canadian dollars. I have the kompak too, it’s my daily edc. But again it’s expensive here. I guess buy once, cry once."

— Harold P. (5/5)

I love this pack

"Brief review since I need to spend more time using the bag but initial impression is that it's amazing. Materials, design, quality, looks - it's all so so nice. Wanted a non-camera EDC-ish pack (or under seat non camera for travel) and this pack is so nice. Compact for EDC yet very capable. Got the orange and love it. And super weather resistant too. While I like the separate laptop compartment on the 25L (or wish there was a version exactly like the 18L but with separate laptop compartment), the tradeoff of laptop inside main compartment is fine as the 25L is too big for what I'd want for edc (ish). On a future version, my suggestion would be to move the laptop compartment magnets even further toward the corner of the panel as the compartment can fit a bigger laptop than specified - my dell xps 15 fits tightly however the magnets are blocked by the laptop in that case, not a huge deal for me, still works totally fine and I won't use it all the time with a laptop. The compartments strike a nice balance of sufficient number of pockets without being over-organized / adminy (and you can always use a small pouch if needed). Overall I am super stoked about this pack."

— David S. (5/5)

Exceptional quality backpack.

"This is my third Black Ember bag, and like the other two- one larger back pack, and one shoulder bag- the quality is exceptional, and the colour kicks butt! I expect these will last for many years."

— Rob S. (5/5)

EDC delight.

"The perfect size for a daily commute or day pack on a city trip. The orange is incredible, both vibrant and subdued at the same time, light depending. The best organisation of any pack I have used."

— David R. (5/5)

Top Design Top Material

"I love so much this color orange and Citadel 18 provides Top Design , Top Material and size is very optimal to my EDC Macbook Air 13 with some EDC tools and Gadgets . Next Item orange I will purchase 100 %."

— Mr. C. (5/5)
