Perfectly good as always👍🏼

Perfect size and engineering

I have been searching every brand for an everyday bag and this one is my unicorn. The materials feel great quality, the strap isn't too long or uncomfortable, the organization of the pockets is perfect. My non negotiable gear includes wallet, keys, portable charger, hand sanitizer, tissues, lip balm, a tide pen, and a rather bulky sunglass case. I can fit all of it and still have a ton of space, yet I don't feel like I am lugging around an embarrassingly large mom bag. I love the pass through for the charger cable, I always had my cable sticking out of an open zipper in the past and it definitely wasn't the most ideal setup. I am also a huge fan of the grab handle and the minimalist branding. It's still easy to access everything on the go, the zippers aren't slippery enough that the bag is going to fall open, and with it partially open, you still have as much accessibility to the items as with any other vertical sling. If they ever released a 2. 0 of this bag, I would love to see the key leash in one of the exterior pockets rather than the lower section of the main one, it isn't really accessible easily to get your keys off of it without opening the entire bag. It's doable, sure. But I just think there might be a more efficient place for it. It would also be great if the back pocket fit a standard A5 notebook, it's so close that I really wish I could squeeze one in there. Overall I have 0 regrets and can't wait to get plenty of use out of this bag.

Everything is great! Thanks again

Love this backpack. People have complimented its looks almost everyday I’ve had it.

Arrived on time no issues.

Very well designed product with intelligent placement of inner pockets/zippers. Materials are top quality and the black design is elegant. Sleek design makes it perfect for EDC stuff like phone, wallet, keys, AirPods, etc. although you could easily add more.

Excellent support and responsive hotline.

Great quality ! Great versatily ! Great portablity ! Great style ! Love it 🩶

Amazing as always

Amazing as always!!!

Shipping was fast. First time also to avail of any lifetime warranty and you delivered fast and complete even though I got my forge from Kickstarter days. The whole customer experience was great

Coming from the forge 30, this really suits my needs for travel. Upgrades on hardware, fabric and design are highly appreciated!

These straps are well. Made a bit fiddly to put on the bag but once they're on they ain't coming off unless you want them off obviously but very good

Brilliant piece of kit. Best bag I've owned. It ticks all the right boxes and it's been everywhere. Once again thank you. Keep up the good work.

Best brand I’ve come across in a few years.

The DEX 30 is one of the best bags I’ve ever purchased in terms of actual functionality and regular use. I have the forge 30 as well but can’t help but use the DEX for with almost all of my travel. The modular aspect makes it a perfect travel bag for almost every occasion; from a weekend away or an overnight motorcycle trip. Hands down the best travel bag I’ve ever used

Happy I got this ordered for the grip sling 12. Securely holds everything from tripods to a rolled up jacket with ease

Use these straps to hold things on my packs while riding motorcycles and I take plenty of comfort in knowing the product is quality made. It’s the peace of mind needed when on the road enjoying the moment and not having to check if my stuff fell off constantly

Support team is exceptional. No BS, straight to the point answer even if you don't like it. I wish Black Ember would provide certificate of origin for non US orders. Sometimes customer get discounts on tax from that.
