Ember claims their new Modular Urban Backpack ($209+) is inspired by the outdoors, built for life in the city, and designed to address the challenge of global travel. And looking at it, we’d have to agree. At its core, the Ember is an industrial backpack composed of black-grid waterproof cordura nylon, bonded hypalon, anodized aluminum hardware, weather-proof urethane coated zippers and more. From there, things get interesting, as you can opt for numerous add-ons to precisely tune the Ember backpack to your carrying needs.
There’s a laptop sleeve, phone case, military pouches, hard cases, compression straps, handles and more. Add as much or as little as you want, and you’ve got the perfect gear stowing solution for whatever urban environment you find yourself in. The Ember Modular Urban Backpack is currently about 50% funded on Kickstarter, so if you want one, head over and show Ember some love.
