High-Tech Duffle Bags

Black Ember's New 'Dex' Duffle Bag is Made With Cordura RN66

— August 4, 2022 — World
Indie backpack brand Black Ember has officially unveiled its newest duffle bag called the 'Dex.' Similar to the brand's other offering, the Dex features a modular design that prioritizes versatility and performance.

As a result, the bag features an extra-durable Cordura RN66 shell and laser-cut and bonded Hypalon panels. In addition, the bag comes equipped with high-tech 3D-printed shoulder straps and a set of duffle handles that have been designed to rest flat against the duffle when not being used.

Currently, the bag is being offered in two 30-liter and 45-liter sizes. However, both models feature a substantial amount of storage space thanks to their well-thought-out interior designs. For those interested, the 'Dex' duffle bag is now available to purchase on Black Ember's website.
