Reviews
"Compression straps are a pain to assemble. Other than that its a fantastic bag."
Not too shabby
"This thing is great. It has plenty of pockets, organization and storage on the interior and has room to expand. I use it as my work bag and as a carry on when traveling. It feels bullet proof and looks clean."
Great Travel Pack
"I own many higher end bags and dragged my feet on purchasing this bag. Decided to buy during Black Friday week. This bag is very rich in storage and the capability to expand to 30 liters is comforting. The materials are top quality. The only issues I have experienced is how difficult it was to thread the anchors through the webbing with the compression straps and sometimes the magnetic buckles come undone. If you are in the market for a great edc and travel bag, give this bag a try."
Forge 30 One Above All

Forage 30
"Great upgrade. Great for daily commute to the office or travel."
FORGE 30 - MAX EMBERTEX
"Forge 30 is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a true “Swiss army knife” type bag. It offers an unique mix of versatility and style and can serve equally well as a travel or a commuter/office bag. It has so much going for it but for me the stand out features are: great utility, unmatched craftsmanship and elegant design that just oozes style. The negatives are far and few between but it should be noted that the bag is on the heavier side. That said I am more than happy to accept that compromise considering all the utility and the overall quality on hand. Overall I am very happy with my choice and looking forward to using the bag for many years. Full recommendation from me."
Amazing
"The black Ember backpack has been perfect for work. It stays slim and compact when I’m only carrying my laptop, but expands seamlessly when I need extra storage. The engineering and thoughtful design really stand out — every pocket and feature has a purpose. The quality is top-notch, and the bag feels built to last. Overall, it’s an incredibly functional, well-designed backpack that transitions effortlessly with my daily needs."
Perfect work bag!!!
"Phenomenal hybrid work bag. So glad I changed over from my topo designs. Tons of organization. Fits two laptops and an IPad."
Awesome
"The wait was worth it"
