r/onebag

r/ManyBaggers

r/backpacks

While I think this is pretty true, I’ll mention the black ember forge has a big chonk of a laptop compartment.

So, in the past month I've purchased/received three new bags that don't fit my Dell work laptop.  All three bags advertised they would fit a 15- or 16-inch laptop.  None of them fit my new 15 inch Dell laptop.    I never noticed this before because I used a Macbook for work until this year!

Everyday Backpack v2 - Alright, I can see where I made my mistake here.  It advertises as fitting laptops up to 1 inch, and the Dell is 1.25 inches on the thickest part.  

Aer Travel Sling 2 - Just says that it fits up to a 16 inch laptop.  No measurements on the sleeve, but based on the measurements on the site, the laptop is smaller than those measurements by an inch or more in all dimensions.  Doesn't fit in the sleeve or the bag.  

Black Ember Shadow - No measurements on the site for the sleeve, but it's very slim.  Sown directly into the back panel, no accordion or stretch to it.  

Now, it's not all bags... my MR UA 24 fits it, barely.  

I mean, this is a little bit of an annoyed rant (I'd love to see the response from the IT group... you want to go back to the Mac why?), but also a question... when did bag manufacturers start assuming that people only carry the little slip of a laptop?  And I think they need to make this more clear.  Only one vendor posted the sleeve dimensions (making it my fault I didn't check).

When did all nice backpacks only start fitting Macbooks or other ultra-slim laptops?

 these little holes and cutouts for you to attach separately sold Black Ember accessories. These are things like accessory straps, utility straps, some of the compression straps as well, and other modular pieces that you can attach on externally to the back. So here we have a panel here with these little cutouts that you can add those accessories in and also on the bottom here there are those cutouts. I'm just going to turn the bag to the side so we can have an idea of what's going on with this bag

 That goes the same for a water bottle. Unless you have a memo model, you might be able to fit this in really well, but for typical round, cylindrical water bottles, you'll struggle to fit that inside this bag unless you put it in the main compartment of the original forge. Here in this forge, it might be a bit of a struggle, although Black Emma does provide accessory straps for you to attach a water bottle to the outside of your bag, so there is that option there. Um, for a water bottle carry solution, you can go for Black Embers separately sold attachment straps just to show you how good it Is to have the expansion from 20 liters to 30 liters

 There's only the text mark branding on these zipper pulls. Here these hypalon zipper pulls as well as on these aerospace grade aluminium g hooks. There's the little Black Ember logo etched on there. One thing to note about Black Ember is that they really like laser cutting their textiles

 And here we have the Black Ember Forge. The Forge comes in two colors: black and multicam. Here we have the Multicam, which is a Black Camo 500 Denier Cordura and it also uses bonded Ykk Aqua Guard zippers, wood gin hardware as well as laser cut hypalon. Okay, let's check out the features and compartments of the Black Ember Forge

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

 It's not an unboxing, it's an unbagging. The straps are hidden in here. Oh, we're gonna have some fun getting in it up. Alright, alright alright okay I am NOT gonna get into the features of this bag I'm not gonna get into the materials and everything that will be in the next video that we'll be posting in about a day or two

 Black Ember is an independent design studio that designs and develops innovative technical packs made for urban lifestyles. We utilize the world's most advanced materials and construction techniques to create premium performance packs perfect for your everyday. And then if you need help there's a the website for giving instructions inside and then because this is the Black Ember Fork Max what the max means is I get for these straps and one handle strap so the handle can go I believe at the top and maybe maybe not the side moves at the top. so this is the handle

 so we have this plastic bag of revealing this nice black little subtle very subtle logo on the front of this. This is just a soft bag. Oh, there's even a drawstring at the top that's gonna nice classy. Very classy at Black Amber

 These are a little small sometimes I Like to take stuff like this from bad companies and use it as a coaster for my beverage. These are a little narrow so I'm not sure if we work without and then here in here. put your honor four of these straps. These are compression straps that will attach to the back

Black Ember Forge Max in black Kickstarter Unpacking

 It'S not like you're gon na be getting it in and out and in and out of the zipper garage, yeah. So we'll say: that's! Okay, all right! We'Re gon na pull that back out and we're gon na zip this down, compress it back to 20 liters. All right, when it's zipped down to 20 liters you've got this uh, really small, zipper garage that it goes through, that one's really easy to do. So let me show you what it looks like with this bag on

 So i was really excited to get this out on the road uh test it out, taking it to work and just using it on a daily basis. I will confess i was a little underwhelmed after some use and there's some practical things about the bag. That really started to bother me over time and some of them initially just really bugged me. So i want to start out today just kind of going around the the front of the pack and then moving our way to the back and then eventually we'll get inside and we'll get inside multiple places, because there's a lot going on with this particular bag

BLACK EMBER FORGE MAX IN BLACK REVIEW (updated)

 Usually this is one of my pet peeves because with simple front compartments or the lack of slots and compartments in a vertical direction, all of your items tend to slide down once you carry the bag and backpack mode, and then all of your items just accumulate at the bottom. The fortress front compartment has a bunch of slots and compartments that are oriented sideways to access your items easily in messenger or briefcase mode, and this orientation of the slots helps to keep everything in place. When carrying the forged in backpack mode, nothing slides down and everything stays perfectly in place. Furthermore, all of the inner lining is bright silver, so everything is easily visible inside the compartments

 So let me know in the comment section below do you mind the extra bulk or the size of a bag If you can use the bag multiple ways. And also if you have any more questions also come below and if you enjoyed this video, click the like button and please feel free to subscribe to my channel and click that little bell icon so you won't miss next videos. Thank you very much, thank you very much for sticking around! Just as another quick reminder: next week, on the 29th of February there will be a Carey Ology and Subscriber meetup at the High Planet Store here in Hamburg. So this event is supposed to be a casual meet-up where we nerd out about bags and backpacks, but also where I will talk a little bit about what are my favorite features in my potential or hypothetical favourite backpack

 However, with the Forge, all of the slots and compartments worked really well with my packing style, especially. the front compartment is really well laid out. Usually this is one of my pet peeves because with simple front compartments or the lack of slots and compartments in a vertical direction, all of your items tend to slide down once you carry the bag and backpack mode, and then all of your items just accumulate at the bottom. The fortress front compartment has a bunch of slots and compartments that are oriented sideways to access your items easily in messenger or briefcase mode, and this orientation of the slots helps to keep everything in place

 This can either be overwhelming or at least potentially make you lose your small USB stick for instance. speaking of all of the zippers: to open the compartments, the middle zipper that expands the back to carry-on size as the biggest zipper pole that you easily grab accidentally so that you open up the wrong zipper. I Kind of wish that this zipper could be parked somehow, but I personally probably just removed a zipper pole. so I don't accidentally grabbed the wrong zipper as I mentioned in the introduction I Was looking really hard to find all of the negatives when I reviewed this back

Best Bag of 2020??? Blackember Forge Backpack Review

 Okay like this, then this side you just let it drop down. Then you have a way to secure the strap easily and then you can really carry the backpack in a briefcase mode. Of course this doesn't look clean, but as I mentioned, did I mention it? This is just a temporary measure when you are on a go and then you want to convert it from backpack more into briefcase mode. This method can can avoid the usage of this velcro

 Okay so to address this issue okay let's say you are on the move and then you are carrying this backpack in backpack mode. You want to carry it in briefcase mode. You want this strap to be secured nicely. You try to avoid using this because you don't want the hot part of the velcro to damage this strap again

 but I still loved minimalistic design of it in last video I was commented as nitpicking but this is just an honest review how this backpack deal with daily situation. So I guess that's all for today. Thank you very much. If you like this video of course click on the like button

Black Ember Forge review update

 uh, test it out, taking it to work and just using it on a daily basis. I will confess I was a little underwhelmed after some use and there's some practical things about the bag that really started to bother me over time and some of them initially just really bugged me. So I want to start out today, just kind of going around the the front of the pack and then moving our way to the back and then eventually we'll get inside. and we'll get inside multiple places because there's a lot going on with this particular bag

 I feel like it's really solid and I do like the material of this. They use a T6 anodized aluminum hardware on some of this and it is just gorgeous and I'll show you some of that detail in just a little bit. But we got these great Ykk zippers all around and you've got a front pocket here and so you've got zipper access to this front pocket for there's no like top small pocket and so really your front pocket is what you would use for your phone and just your gum and things you want quick access to. So this front pocket is really your quick access pocket and you'll notice on these zipper pulls a lot of them have like a dock for the zipper and you can thread this into the dock for when you're closing it shut so there's just a little bit more security for your bag

 I love the multi-functional design of this particular bag and I love how expandable it is from 20 liters to 30 liters. So I was really excited to get this out on the road. uh, test it out, taking it to work and just using it on a daily basis. I will confess I was a little underwhelmed after some use and there's some practical things about the bag that really started to bother me over time and some of them initially just really bugged me

Wirecutter

This bag is simple, tough, and backed by a well-tested repair-or-replace program. Short of purposefully slicing into it, there’s little you can do to it that it can’t withstand. But it comes with militaristic undertones that aren’t to everyone’s taste.

This backpack by Osprey is very well made but keep in mind this is a laptop backpack. It’s not going to take a lot and I am quite disappointed with the size. It’s long but thin. Zipper doesn’t go all around because of the bottle pocket will not allow for this

Way overpriced laptop backpack- long and slim

 Let's take a look. let's take a look at some of the specifications for this flagship bag. First of all, it's made out of 1000 d cordura front and back all around. It's got a uh, the Ykk zippers all throughout and these uh little paracord pulls on it so that's uh, adds

 And then they went to a naming convention where the Gr1 now has two sizes, the 21 liter and the 26 liters. So so what I'm gonna cover today for the Gr1 specifically is the fit. What size works best for you? Which one should you consider the function and packing all the different ways you can use this bag? Let's get into it. The Gr1 right up front and center

 Originally the Gr0 was the 21 liter size and then the 26 liter. The bigger size was the G01. And then they went to a naming convention where the Gr1 now has two sizes, the 21 liter and the 26 liters. So so what I'm gonna cover today for the Gr1 specifically is the fit

 soups and nuts, every version, every color. What? it's good for what it's not good for, What size is best for you, How to use the bag, how to pack it everything. Let's get to it. Take our Gr1 [Music] All right, this is it

GORUCK GR1: Fit, Function, Packing in EVERY Mode - 6 YEAR REVIEW

 If you're at all familiar with the backpack space, then you'll know of Goruck's for now. Having spent some time with the Gr1 for ourselves, we'll be the first to tell you the bag doesn't disappoint. However, it's important to keep your expectations realistic. The Gr1 isn't abounding with organizational provisions, and it won't wow you with a bunch of fancy bells and whistles

 Because it's designed to double as a rucking bag, the Jr1 boasts some of the beefiest straps you'll find on a backpack. Where most packs typically come with some plushy mesh padding on their straps, the Gr1 instead sports two layers of dense foam, one to provide structure and the other to add a bit of comfort. They're pretty stiff when you first get the bag, but they'll break in more and more with continued use. It's worth noting, though the straps are pretty coarse

 However, it also makes the pocket into something of a bottomless black hole. Not a deal breaker by any means, just something to consider if you're packing and unpacking on the move. Because it's designed to double as a rucking bag, the Jr1 boasts some of the beefiest straps you'll find on a backpack. Where most packs typically come with some plushy mesh padding on their straps, the Gr1 instead sports two layers of dense foam, one to provide structure and the other to add a bit of comfort

 However, it's considerably more supportive, especially when combined with the interior frame sheet on body. It's completely absent of any hot spots whatsoever. No matter how much weight you're carrying, just be sure to check your size. Our tester stands a solid 511, and while the 21 liter makes for a great fit, the larger 26 liter model can be a bit long depending on the size of your torso

Hands On: GORUCK GR1 Backpack Review

 It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded.  • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine.  In summary, I love the color and comfort

I’ve owned many different kinds of travel backpacks. Although my luggage collection tends to be quite nice, my travel backpacks tend to be of the lower-end variety. I’ve heard great things about this brand, so I decided to give this a try. Here are some thoughts after a few daily uses along with a short weekend trip:  • Size: This is labeled as a large backpack

 While it is certainly long and wide enough to fit a 15.6” laptop, the depth is not quite what I imagined as it is built to be a little flatter than most large backpacks.  • Pockets/Compartments: This is a fairly simple backpack when it comes to pockets/compartments. The front contains just one compartment

Not a full zip-around, but great for intraday use
