Black Ember Citadel R2 | Best Waterproof Urban Commuter Backpack 

Just commenting to try and get RU-vid to stop sleeping on this channel. The quality in these videos is superb, they truly deserve more traction.

I'm shocked you only have 86 subscribers, your video quality is comparable to a hundred thousand subscriber Chanel man, I guess you earn a new one now

Awesome review!!! Thank you for posting it!!!!

Great review man, subbed

Thanks for releasing a balanced review of the bag! I feel like 99% of reviews are all echoing the same talking points, not really providing an objective analysis of the bag's features.

great vid

Thanks for creating this video David! I enjoyed watching it and it helped greatly in my search for a new backpack. I loved the video as it is but wanted to leave some constructive feedback. I think your videos can 'get to the next level' if you start adding some B-roll footage. You don't have to overthink it, just a few images/close up shots of whatever you are talking about. I can see you already have a few alternate angles, but they are quite short and lower quality than the original footage. If you can add some nice close up shots shot with the same camera then I think it'll add a lot to the reviews!

I think laser cut hypalon is the future. SEALs have used it on water craft, I’ve seen divers use it, and I have seen it on a handful of other bags, but not to this extent. I think this type of IPX rated material is going to become common place moving forward. The only thing they could do is make it lighter and solve the zipper gap.

👍🏼

Hello, first off, great video. I'm looking for a backpack for college. Can the citadel carry a couple heavy books maybe?

Great video David! My question as someone who is 5'11, is this bag awkwardly large? Does it feel like having a camping bag on you at all times or does it look smaller in person? I don't want to be the guy known with the massive backpack!

Do you still use the Boundry Supply arktype sling?

Have you experienced any delamination, especially around the carry handle?

Can i pack some clothes or sneakers for a one day travel?

Two straps do not a compartment make.

Way too dark. I mean your video setup

They gave up on the unique fabric, probably cause of weight , sad
