FORGE 20 - JET BLACK (SOLD OUT)

Everything great but not personal item size on some Airlines

I love forge 20. You have to like fidgety things because there are lots of straps and zippers. But I like that. One problem. I bought it as personal item bag to go with my carry on. For some airlines (like United) the limit is 17x10x9. This bag’s dimension is 18x12x9. Maybe no one will notice the difference. But there is enough inherent travel stress to be sweating over that. I found a small baggage strap that I can wrap around the 18” dimension and can cinch out that inch. And if you do not overpack the bag and cinch down on all the top and bottom straps you can get that down to 10”. I think BE should change the design or have a note about which airlines this will/will not work on for carryon personal itemw. But I got them bag to work for me.

Great backpack!

Material and design are great. I wish the backpack straps can be hidden better, now the bottom still shows.

Great backpack, but may be I should have taken the classical FORGE.

Superb quality of the backpack, I really do like it a lot. I was still been using the BlackEmber backpack from the Kickstarter campaign in 2015 (?) and switched to the FORGE-20 for daily use with notebook and stuff. The quality really is outstanding, everything‘s nicely crafted and well thought out. But it might have been better to have so more space in the FORGE-20 for non-laptop things. Nevertheless i like using it a lot - for the rare case I‘d need more room, I still have the Kickstarter one! Keep on doing these great work, the stuff is really awesome and worth it!
