Modular Urban Packs

The Ember Backpack Allows You to Add or Remove Storage Compartments

— March 14, 2014 — World
The Ember Equipment Backpack is a 20L pack with the bonus of add-on attachments so you can carry a lot, or a little, depending on the day. The pack features two weatherproof exterior pockets, sleeves for your laptop and tablet, and six strategically positions magnetic locks.

The Ember Backpack is made from strong, durable Cordura Nylon allowing it to stand up to wear and tear and different weather conditions. The best feature by far is the amount of customization you're able to do in order to carry more or less depending on how much storage you actually need. The magnetic locks allow you to select and position a removable laptop sleeve, utility straps, iPhone case, hard cases, compression straps, military pouches and cargo handles. If you don't like where a certain thing is on your pack, simply switch it!
