"When my Dutch wife and I are traveling in the Nederlands and walking from a train station to a hotel, a wheeled suitcase can be very cumbersome. At my age I finally got tired of the jarring, bouncing, twisting of wheeled luggage. We are not ready to get a taxi but want to walk. Therefore, for me the Forge 40 meets my need for a three to six week stay. It is just like in my younger days of back packing; you carry you stuff on your back. No muss no fuss."
"There are no alternatives compared to Black Ember Backpacks. This is my second purchase. My first was the 30L and I have been using it since 2022-2023 and I haven't used any other backpacks I have at home. Make no mistake, Black Ember bags are mega High Quality, Sturdy, Practical, Well Organized compartments and they sure last a lifetime. I am never gonna use any backpacks. Black Ember bags are your solution to cater for all your travelling needs."
"Coming from the forge 30, this really suits my needs for travel. Upgrades on hardware, fabric and design are highly appreciated!"
"Work Bag Ultra — for when a regular work bag isn’t ultra enough. But in all seriousness, this is an amazing bag with too many thoughtful features to even begin to list. Plus it’s look somehow simultaneously rugged and streamlined, for a perfect no nonsense look that looks right whether I’m walking into a serious client meeting (I’m a lawyer) or meeting up with friends for a solid hang. Great frickin bag period"
"Amazing bag, great quality, every product Black ember made is awesome. . . ."
"Overall, it has exceeded my expectations and has given me a very versatile briefcase/ backpack that both looks and functions extremely well. My only wish is that the inside was more firm to allow it to stand upright like a standard briefcase."
"Needed a backpack solution for my everyday gear (laptop / camera / notebook / headphones) and with the possibility of adding the Gym gear… this solves it! Great as well for a 5 day casual trip!"
"Very happy with my bag. Love the build quality and design. Plus the materials used, in hand are even better than what is seen in pictures."
"Amazing products! Great quality. I took it with me all throughout Scotland and it was a perfect travel bag. The magnetic connection on the keyring makes accessing my keys super easy."
"To be honest I have always been a sling bag type of guy. The Forge 40 has been the first daily use backpack I used since being in high-school. Great part of my EDC now."
