Black Ember Forge

Pros

• black ember forge
• I’d recommend an Evergoods CPL16 or CPL24, or something else that can be carried and accessed sideways, like the Black Ember Forge. I’ve owned the CPL and the Forge.
• Cotopaxi Allpa in your size preference, or a Black Ember Forge
• I have the Forge and is amazing, but it’s layout is mostly for travel and have lot of pockets, I love the organization but is not for everyone.
• Meeting all your criteria’s look at the Alpaka Tech Brief Pro, or the Black Ember Forge.

Cons

• The BE is made as well as the TB but the tech organization just makes poor sense to me and has a lot of wasted materials taking up too much unnecessary weight and use of the bags internal space.
• Maybe the black ember forge? Looks a bit weird and haven't research it enough.
• Yeah i have a forge and kompak and i get the feeling they go from design to production without product testing at all. The pocket layouts on both make no sense and the original microhex fabric i have on the forge got horribly and permane...
• I have the Black Ember Forge and my biggest takeaway is that Black Ember makes really cool looking stuff that is impractical and inconvenient to pack out in real world settings
• The forge might be too niche / clunky imo…
