The Prizes

Up for grabs? Two drool-worthy prizes. First up, the Black Ember Citadel Minimal Kit. This kit includes the Citadel Minimal Pack, two compression straps, and two handles.

The Citadel Minimal Pack features a sleek, tough and weatherproof bonded construction combining rugged, stealthy 900D 3-layer Micro-Hex material with YKK AquaGuard zippers. The result? A highly durable yet understated pack with an IPX-06 waterproof rating. The contoured back panel and 3D shoulder straps help you carry comfortably throughout the day. And with two handles you can set the bag up for easy grab-and-go top or side carry and maneuverability. The pack has you well covered for access too thanks to its lay-flat main compartment that makes packing and retrieving specific items a cinch. Speaking of cinch, the compression straps let you compress the bag for smaller loads and also allow you to secure bulkier items when you need to carry more.

And the second prize? The Black Ember Citadel Sport Kit. This highly versatile kit includes the Citadel Modular Pack, Sport Pack, SML Admin, two sets of compression straps, and a handle.

The Citadel Modular Pack offers the same great design benefits as the Citadel Minimal, but with added modular capability. A variety of Black Ember MODs (modular accessories) can be attached to the pack via magnetic hardware. Quick and easy to attach yet secure on the move, these MODs allow you to tailor the pack to a wide and ever-changing range of carry needs. Even better? You get to enjoy this modularity from the get-go thanks to the handy MODs included in the kit. The Sport Pack is great for storing gym gear or a change of clothes for travel needs. It offers separate storage for wet/dirty and dry/clean items.

The SML Admin is a nifty organization pouch that allows you to keep small essentials tidy and secure yet within easy reach when required. It offers exterior pockets for a phone and pen, along with interior pockets and elastic webbing.

Two prizes. Two winners. Could one be you? Put yourself in the running by entering…

Designed for their LEAF (Law Enforcement and Armed Forces) line, the bag has the pedigree to perform in demanding environments.

The post Black Ember WPRT Backpack: Quick Look appeared first on Carryology - Exploring better ways to carry.

Meet the Black Ember WPRT.

Elevating the good, integrating the overlooked

Water-resistant rolltops are good at protecting gear from the elements. But a lot of them lack sufficient organization and easy access to make them a favored go-to option for everyday use. Black Ember wants to change that with their WPRT Backpack.

First up is premium weather protection. The pack is made with Black Ember’s proprietary three-layer 800-denier Micro-Hex textile, a performance textile that offers long-term durability and weatherproofness. Enhancing the weather protection is laser-cut and heat-bonded construction, YKK AquaGuard zippers, and waterproof zipper garages. The result? An IPX-06 waterproof rating, along with a pack backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Protection from the elements is on point. But what about the organization and access? The pack features a choice of quick-access pockets to store items such as a tablet, water bottle, keys and other items you need close at hand. There’s even hidden back panel pockets to store valuables. Additionally, the WPRT features an external access suspended laptop sleeve, keeping up to a 15″ laptop safe yet easily accessible when required.

And if you want to quickly reach gear in the main compartment? No problem. Side zipper access lets you get to it quickly without having to undo the rolltop closure.

Considered comfort for the long haul

A pack should be comfortable whether you’re carrying smaller loads or larger ones. So the WPRT offers a thoughtful mix of features to keep you in carry comfort throughout the day. The back panel moves independently from the backpack to fit your specific shape. Also enhancing the comfort is an air flow channel in the back panel to help keep you cool on the move.

The removable magnetic sternum strap is convenient to use and keeps the load stable, while the bag’s ergonomic 3D shoulder straps provide a deft blend of structure and padded comfort. Additionally, the straps can be stowed out of the way for a clean silhouette when storing the bag in tight spaces. If you need extra support, you can also pair the pack with an optional waist belt.

More or less just what you need

One of the perks of a rolltop is its adjustable volume. The WPRT is expandable from 25L to 30L, allowing you to adapt to changing loads and carry more or less as required. The magnetic V-buckle makes it easy to secure the rolltop in place, but the zippered opening keeps gear secure when the rolltop is expanded.

To mod or not to mod

Perhaps you prioritize adaptability. On the other hand, clean urban-friendly aesthetics may be key in your carry. So Black Ember provides options with two versions of the pack, the WPRT Modular and WPRT Minimal. The WPRT Modular is ideal if you value modularity and the ability to tailor your pack to a variety of needs. The pack is compatible with Black Ember’s existing MODs, modular accessories ranging from pouches to straps.

The WPRT Minimal offers a more pared-back aesthetic that still accommodates modular straps if you want the flexibility to secure gear externally. Both versions also come with a modular handle that can be secured to the top or the side of the pack.

Black Ember has also created four new optional MODs for use with the WPRT, ranging from a DSLR Pack and VERT Pack, to a Maglock Belt and Maglock Key Chain. A combination of Fidlock magnetic hardware and mechanical clasps enables quick and secure attachment. And for added flexibility the DSLR Pack (which is compatible with both the minimal and modular WPRT) can be used as a standalone camera shoulder bag.

The not-so-humble rolltop

The WPRT takes rolltop backpack design to new heights. Convenient organization, quick access and clean aesthetics come together in a pack built for modern everyday and travel needs. An all-rounder that embraces diverse environments, loads and weather conditions. Find out more about the collection through Black Ember’s WPRT Kickstarter campaign which runs until 28 December 2018.

Ultimate Carry Awards Giveaway

Black Ember Citadel Minimal Backpack

When Black Ember first showed up on the scene, it sent shockwaves through the Carry World. Never before had a bag brand surfaced with such difference. Such individual flair, modernist aesthetics, and new thinking around exterior modularity. Since then, they’ve continued to grow and refine. And the Citadel Minimal is their most ‘universal’ and considered offering to date. Cleaner and stealthier in aesthetics, allowing it to play in more formal environments, but still pushing the boundaries of performance fabrics, urban functionality, and what a ‘waterproof’ pack can be.

The IPX-06 waterproof rating gives it a licence to go anywhere (rain, hail or deluge), while urban commuters can carry in low-key style thanks to the 900D 3-layer Micro-Hex fabric, designed to reduce reflection and avoid that ugly sheen. Digging down, there’s exceptional pocketing and custom hardware for enhanced organizing and performance. And notably with its bomber build, custom hardware and waterproofing comes weight, and to counterbalance this the Citadel puts extra muscle into its harness, combining a contoured back panel with 3D shoulder straps for a comfy fit all day long.

Superb work, Black Ember. You’ve truly delivered on efficient, adaptable and sleek everyday carry, that’s as nailed as it is unique.

________________________________________________________

Highly Commended

These are the pieces that just missed out, and in most cases, by the smallest of margins. To them, we award a High Commendation. The below were of outstanding quality, displaying fine craftsmanship and design flair. With honor, we bow our heads in the utmost respect and kudos. If this were a dais, they’d be biting their teeth into silver medals, while their flags were hoisted into the horizon – a feat not to be overlooked. And we’re sure they’ll be back, to take it one notch higher, next year.

Brown Buffalo Conceal Backpack

We like to keep things transparent here, and The Brown Buffalo is a long-time contributor of ours. But there’s a reason for that – and a reason why the Conceal Backpack deserves a High Commendation. His skills in bag design are masterful. He’s worked with major names such as Nike and Head Porter, and his own brand based in California maintains those rigorous standards.

The Conceal Backpack’s construction walks that line between the personality and soul of handmade but with the exactness and flawlessness found in machines. It simply feels like quality in your hands, and when you pore over the details you see that everything has been considered. Laser lined stitching. Super durable fabrics including a choice of 525D Ballistic Nylon CORDURA and 1000D Nylon CORDURA, with a 500D STORMPROOF lining and burly YKK AquaGuard zips for weather protection. And just enough organization and space to keep everyday items within easy reach, while maintaining a clean and clutter-free design.

Extra features also bring unobtrusive functionality to your setup. A self-standing design, a structured build that looks good whether the pack is full or carrying smaller loads, plus a luggage passthrough sleeve. Tough but tailored, the Conceal brings versatility and low-key style to work and weekend setups alike. This is a home run!

Triple Aught Design Axiom 18 Pack

TAD scored top honors in last year’s Best Work Backpack award with the Axiom X25. And they deliver another dialed-in performance with the Axiom 18. A more compact baby brother to the Axiom X25, this pack is designed to keep you agile. Lightweight, weatherproof and durable, the Axiom 18 features a VX-21 ripstop shell and water-resistant YKK zippers for all-day protection from the elements. On point with adaptable organization, it opens wide with a clamshell main compartment for easy access, a range of external and interior pockets for smaller essentials, as well as additional attachment points to add pouches.

The Axiom 18 Pack finds that sweet spot for a minimal daily carry bag. Sufficient space to carry your day-to-day supplies, while maintaining a lean and pared-back profile. This is a considered and solid effort, highly adaptable and well suited to those who carry light. Congratulations, TAD!
