Black Ember Shadow
The Shadow backpack is the latest edition to the Black Ember family and it features all that we come to love about the brand in a smaller profile.
Designed as a simpler daypack for daily carry, the Black Ember Shadow is anything but simple. The Shadow is equipped with a waterproof construction thanks to its waterproof nylon crossweave exterior and YKK Aquaguard zippers. Black Ember also gives you full clamshell access to the main compartment where you’ll find pocket for everything from your tech to smaller daily essentials.
Available in either 22 liter or 26 liter sizes - the Black Ember Shadow is a nice compliment to its bigger minimalist brother the Black Ember Citadel R2.
What we like
Waterproof materials: Great for protecting expensive tech and gear.
Minimalist exterior: Black Ember keeps the design clean and simple without any flashy design features or obnoxious branding.
Lighter weight: Black Ember’s use of nylon crossweave is a nice departure from some of their other heavier-duty backpacks.
SPECIFICATIONS
Capacity: 22L or 26L
