We back baby.
At least in California we can walk around unmasked and everything is open. That means I'm traveling again. I've had my eye on a Black Ember backpack for awhile now, but just didn't pull the trigger. All of their offering seem enticing and honestly seem like they have a lot of overlap in use cases. I ended up choosing the Forge since it's expandable, and if there's anything that gets me excited, it's versatility. 20L-30L? Hell yeah!
I currently use the Topo Designs 3-Day Global Briefcase and it's very similar in size and intended use case. The only reason I didn't like it was the looks. It's not super sleek or professional looking.
Enter the Forge. Black Embers aesthetic is really tech and modern looking. It's all super clean and well put together and really exactly what I was looking for in a travel pack. I'd also use it as and EDC.
As I mentioned it goes from 20L-30L and I used it mostly in 20L and it worked perfectly as a personal item carry on. I took it Guadalajara and it fit under the seat in front of me with ease.
They have a lot of built in organization in this bag and I didn't really make use of most of it. I'm the type that changes bags a lot and because of this, I don't often use all the nooks and crannies in a bag. Takes too much memory.
Though I liked the size and looks, I didn't find the backpack straps to be super comfortable. The Topo is more comfortable to me. Actually, many other bags are comfortable to me.
At $259 the Forge isn't cheap. If you are looking for a well built, well designed, clean looking bag though, it fits the bill nicely. Moreso if you find it to be comfortable.
Overall, I am keeping it, but I've got my eye on others to check out soon. Stay tuned!
