Intelligent & Functional 3-Way Carry - The Black Ember Forge

[@SebastianC1907]

Such an underrated channel!

[@natecol9322]

FANTASTIC review and quality. Quick tip form a fellow nerd: your audio is clipping a bit - throw a little more compression on there and make sure you're not in the red. Also, get that mic as close as possible to your mouth - even in the shot - and use a mask/plate to edit it out. And if you can, invest in a little room treatment and some carpeting to help with the reverb. Superb channel. Cheers

[@Ruinour]

It's worth mentioning that the compression straps you can buy for the normal size Forge can really compress the depth of the bag, especially if it's not filled to the brim :)

nothing like a rush faster backpack vid at 11 pm in the evening, so relaxing!

[@RushfasterTV]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@TomToken87]

Was deciding between the Forge-20 vs Forge, then I saw the part where you fit in the 6-packs. Sold!.

[@wkm610]

The 4-tinny capacity illustration was inspired!

Would love to yall do a video of "your top picks" An in depth video of why you personally have chosen the product you use everyday or for travel and why

[@dzubmariner]

awesome idea

[@PhotoNERDsUnite]

what a great looking bag

[@tieberius.]

I wish they had the Forge-20 also as expandable version, that would be a perfect size. The standard one just is too bulky when compressed imo

[@madddskillz]

Thanks for the great review

[@billstiber1661]

Excellent review.

[@RushfasterTV]

Glad that you liked it! - John

[@ember1331]

if anyone is currently looking for a bag, i dont really see why not get this. Very versatile and neat looking bag.

[@dpj9421]

Awesome video! Thank you so much @Rushfaster! Can you recommend other similar 3-way carry/Hybrid-Backpack-Briefcase bag that you have reviewed? I'm thinking of this 20L one but don't mind looking at other brands too! Thanks in advance!

[@bambangtondoboy]

How much does the backpack weight?

[@fohx]

This is a great bag. I love clamshell even for the tech.

[@jonmnelson]

Does the Forge 20 have only one zipper to get into the main compartment? If so, that seems like a curious design choice as you would have to open the entire compartment to get to your laptop.

[@Kobk.e]

I was just wondering these past days when will you do a review of this bag, I was thinking about getting it, but i don’t know which one to get, the forge 20 seems like you can’t really carry more than some of your tech gear and the forge seems too bulky for EDC... I love how they look, but i don’t really know which one to get, I might get it this week but still need to decide lol, do you think the compression straps makes the forge as thin as the forge 20 without packing it much?

[@novemberfox109]

Exactly my question

[@Kobk.e]

Nasser Faouri I have the forge cordura now, the normal that expands. Well I can tell you it’s not that bulky when fully loaded. It’s actually slim but that slim without compression straps. It gets fat as soon you start putting things on the cloth compartment in the middle or when you expand that compartment. I think maybe the thing of the forge is for packing in packing cubes but I haven’t tried

[@novemberfox109]

@@Kobk.e thank you for the reply. I ordered mine this morning anyway ;) let’s see how I like it

[@Kobk.e]

Nasser Faouri beware, I ordered on February nd they didn’t ship it until April and they sent me the cordura version, not the microhex one

[@novemberfox109]

@@Kobk.e 😱 yikes

[@justmejus]

Great review as always! :) Just wondering. Is there a way to get rid of the moire patterns that I see in many of your videos? No biggie, but at times it is a bit distracting.

[@LokGop]

do you think this bag would work for me as a teacher? I have to carry some tech and some books but also some gym clothes cause im a sports teacher. im not sure if there is a good compartment to place books in it.

[@iha10512]

Everyman 5-way commuter vs the Forge 20, which do you prefer?

[@RushfasterTV]

Hello. Thanks for asking! Both are great choices, but if you need versatility and lots of organisation, go with the Everyman 5-way Commuter. For a sleek, minimalist design with plenty of space, the Forge 20 is a winner. The ultimate choice depends on your preference and intended usage.

[@jaredakers5764]

Can the expandable compartment comfortably hold a camera cube? Like the small/medium peak design ones?

[@90MohsinA]

Or the wandrd camera cubes? I think it will fit in the original forge but not sure about the forge-20?

[@persim100]

always a great review from you guys!

[@mayasarmonia3257]

Curious question about the bag, if you actually packed for let's say 2-3 days worth of travel on it, would the weight still be within the limits of the hand carry capacity (7-10 kg)? Fairly certain the stuff will fit but the weight is going to be my concern. Or perhaps you're forced to check in your luggage?

[@RushfasterTV]

We believe so, as per airline policy- regardless of the item your stuff is contained, it shouldn't exceed the allowable hand-carry capacity of 7-10kg. If it's more than that, then you may need check-in this as a luggage. This gear though can accommodate between 20-30 liters, we suggest you maximized the capacity so you wouldn't have to bring an additional hand-carry bag.

[@mayasarmonia3257]

@@RushfasterTV Thank you for this. I'll take it into consideration.

[@tomlee45]

I own this bag, and I would say that this bag has been a good companion for multiple years i have used it. I have the model where they updated the material to the nylon instead if that weird plasticky looking material. If your items are flat - then this bag works well, i was able to buy both a macbook pro and 14 inch gaming laptop. the Main compartment where where things just move around, i wish there was a divider accessory that could be added. The front pocket is my favorite part, I get a small techslim pouch and put one in the mesh pocket. When you expand the bag out, you that's when the structure really breaks and the bag will sag but i carried easily 20+ pounds worth of gear and no issues. The biggest issue is probably that if you don't have flat items, it's hard to put it in this bag.

[@RushfasterTV]

This is a great review of this bag. Thanks for sharing your experience, Nom. Appreciate it. This is very helpful. Have a good one! Cheers

[@naterjacke]

How does it compare to the Aer Travel pack 3?

[@rcs832]

I have a question, what’s your watch model, the black one you had on the north face backpack video

[@Steve-fx6ej]

Great review! Do you think this could replace an Aer travel pack 33l ?

[@RushfasterTV]

Dang dude = Aer Travel Pretty good imo. But if you're interested in the 3 way carry - then defs worth giving a try. - Ed

[@kpnitrl38]

Do you ever sell any of your bags?

How much does the bag weight?

This bag vs Evergoods CPL28 V2?

[@veronicasporabenini]

I just bought a new Forge since I was happy with an older backpack of this brand, but instead if the model shown in pictures, which was in a gummy fabric finish like the other one I use, it came completely different. I asked to exchange it since it is not compliant to the sales page images, and they said they changed the fabric and that’s it. But if you buy on line you trust the pics and its not fair to send a different product. I loved my old one I gave my boyfriend and now I am just disappointed. Its not right to be sent a different product and be ignored, like it was my fault for their mistakes. I am not happy, feels like a scam. If you change the product, just SHOOT NEW PICS. Is it that difficult? Don’t blame a client that trusts your pics, please. Its sad and helps no one.

[@RushfasterTV]

We're so very sorry to hear that, if you bought the item from us, please do not hesitate to reach us as we're always ready to assist. We always strive to give our customers the experience! Oftentimes a brand would modify their existing product- trying out different materials, like that of the X-PAC versions. From our end we tend, to update the images prior to posting it online, that way online expectation meets reality.

[@veronicasporabenini]

@@RushfasterTV i wish they updated the pics before selling! Now they just deleted the detail pics so yes they are seeing my protest, but stopped answering my emails. Errors are human and we could have meet and agreement, but ignoring me and deleting the pics is so coward acting for a brand. Disappointed.

[@a_shuchu_601]

16:30 who set the texture quality to low?

[@filippovicini2057]

are the handles removable?

[@RushfasterTV]

Yes you can take the handles off if you don't like them :) - Ed

[@aaronv7820]

How much does it weight?

[@RushfasterTV]

Hi Aaron! It is 1.25kg upon checking.

[@angelangelov7547]

looks like the forge is quite heavy empty, does anyone has this spec?

[@RushfasterTV]

The Forge Max (the expandable one) is 4lbs! :) Hope that helps - Ed

[@novemberfox109]

What about the 20 how much does that weigh?

[@RK-um9tu]

Both bags weight 1.81 kgs / 3.99 lbs empty. Fully packed, they will be extremely heavy. Better start going to the gym.

[@RushfasterTV]

Time to hit the gym or start some heavy lifting training! 💪

[@noneknwsbrah]

Not much going on in the compartment store on the forge 20. Big pass...
