DEX45 CORDURA® RN66 AIR-MATTE - JET BLACK : 45L (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION
DEX includes the following:
• BACKPACK SHOULDER STRAPS
• BRIEF HANDLES
• MAGNETIC KEY RING
• REMOVABLE STERNUM STRAP
DEX packs combine the classic lines and simple functionality of a duffel with the comfort, support and flexibility of a backpack. The DEX transitions seamlessly between Backpack and Duffel modes with stowable backpack and duffel straps.
DEX packs are like classic Duffels that you grip by the handles as you move through an airport, and when you decide to skip the Uber and walk across town to your hotel, the DEX really shines.
DEX packs are a composite build with a lightweight CORDURA® RN66 shell, strategically laser-cut and bonded hypalon panels, and YKK Aquaguard zippers. 3D shoulder straps with two densities of EVA foam provide both cushion and support and the back-panel is a high density frame sheet that flexes to fit your shape.
The top pocket of the DEX features the Fidlock V-Buckle, and inside you'll find the Boarding-Kit (Boarding-Kit sold separately). Whether you're road-tripping or hopping a flight: stow your Dex and have a seat with your Boarding-KIt. You'll have everything you need for the journey, including your iPad. On the opposite side is the shoe pocket. It's actually 2 pockets, one for your shoes and one for your Dopp-Kit.
DEX is designed to be packed simply, like a duffel. It’s also a modular pack that offers the comfort and support of a travel backpack.
Black Ember is proud to be the world's first brand to collaborate with CORDURA® Advanced Fabrics on the launch of its new CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 collection. It is the first 100% recycled nylon 6,6 textile from CORDURA®.
When compared to virgin N6,6 production CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 produces 83% fewer GHG emissions, consumes 82% less energy and uses 57% less water.
The CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 refers to recycled Nylon 6,6. That 6,6 rating means it's a high tenacity nylon and that it is ultra-durable. CORDURA® re/cor™ RN66 has passed the brutal barrage of tests that make a woven nylon CORDURA® brand certified.
All Black Ember products are made using our BOND-STITCH™ high-precision construction. All textile components are laser-cut for precise assembly. This construction yields a super durable, over-engineered pack with a blacked-out, minimal and stealthy aesthetic.

Customer Feedback:
Doubles as both a large duffel and can collapse to half the size. Boarding kit pocket I use for dirty clothes. Not too many pockets. Perfect for the gym or for up to 4 or 5 days travel.

Customer Feedback:
I bought the DEX 45 in the EU, after a try with the materials and quality of BE with the TKS. No surprises: the bag is stunning. I love organization and this product excels for that. \n\nPROs:\n- materials look superb. The bag is pretty stiff and I was expecting that, as the weight and the thickness makes this product pretty bombproof.\n- there’s no perfect bag but this is pretty close to be so for my specific needs. I needed a bag for my everyday swim activities (over engineered just for this) and, at the same time, a week-end bag for my short out of the town seaside escapes: I often use the train for my short trips and the possibility to change from duffel mode to backpack is really a plus for me. \n- organization of the pockets is well thought and there are many possibilities to find a proper personal way to arrange your garments or gear. \n- I do love BE idea of their theft deterrent zippers. Using trains and underground make me fill more secure\n- side pockets and zippers work flawlessly.\n\nCONs:\n- funny that there’s no theft deterrent zip possibility with the big pocket on the back/bottom where you store your PC/tablet. Why?\n- being the bag pretty stiff please expect some extra movements in order to unzip the pockets to host the travel kit from one side or the shoes/pod bag on the opposite side, especially if the DEX is not fully packed. The problem should then be gone when the bag is full and the edges tightly pulled.\n- I found very difficult to hang-up and disengage the shoulder straps to/from the proper cloth loops. The metal clip is really hard to push and insert properly and quickly. I hope this will become quicker by using them more often, but it is a bit frustrating to be honest.\n\nAll the rest is perfect. Do not expect a real 45l space when you open from the top as the pockets organization “steal” some space in the main compartment, but the bag is big enough for a 5-6 days during summer time (as clothes are lighter and thinner), but 2-3 days for winter garments. Of course this very personal and depending on everyone’s habits. \nI do suggest the hip belt if you pack this bag heavily. It would really help your back during long trips. \n\nExcellent job guys with some minor improvements to be done according to my personal usage (still limited after only 20 days).

Can't say enough about this bag. Gorgeous design and utilitarian. Great weekend bag size and I was lucky to get the Kickstarter Dex 45 Bundle which was a tremendous value for my trips. I admire this company and their commitment to quality, design and functionality.\n\nKeep it up! Thank you.

Review Title: The most perfect marriage of design and function that I've ever seen on a backpack duffel.
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)
Reviewer Name: Ryan F. (Verified Purchase)
Review Date: 2023-06-23
Customer Feedback:
I love this bag, there's no other like it and I have looked, A LOT. You can literally feel the quality! It holds my entire remote work life and all the things this sweaty beast needs to get huge at the gym. Zippers are perfect, compartments are perfect, retains its elegant shape no matter how much you stuff it and feels like it's gonna last a lifetime. These people need to make suitcases because I would go ALL IN if the superb quality of make and design carries over. Best bag company I've come across in years!
