FORGE SB is a 20 liter soft-brief and the most minimal addition to the FORGE collection. An external fast access panel keeps your essentials organized and protected: including your phone and charger. Laser-cut, locking zipper pulls secure your gear. 

The SB includes a comfortable, supportive and adjustable shoulder strap featuring our new quick-slide and release T6 Aluminum  Lever™ hardware. Spring gated hooks on either side of the strap allow you to change from righty to lefty. A built-in luggage strap allows you to connect the SB to your carry on luggage. 

The SB fully unzips and divides into two separate interior sections. The organization panel has a place for everything, including a padded tablet sleeve for tablets up to 13”. On the opposite side: our suspended magnetic laptop sleeve cradles your laptop (up to 16”) in layers of ripstop nylon and EVA foam. 

Built from a combination of EmberTex™ and YKK® Aquaguard zippers for a durable weatherproof construction. Hypalon panels are bonded to the EmberTex™ fabric to form a composite shell with structural elements where you need them and flexibility where you don't. The FORGE also features our latest T6 anodized aluminum hardware.

The FORGE Collection features our latest textile: EmberTex™. With EmberTex™ we have now removed all PFAS (forever chemicals) from our supply chain. EmberTex™ is a twisted nylon 6 with an abrasion resistant matte finish, a lustrous texture and a smooth hand feel. The 1200x600 Denier gives it more structure for ease of packing and access. Combined with YKK® Aquaguard zippers, the FORGE Collection is durable and weatherproof. Laser-Cut and Bonded hypalon panels embedded in its shell add structure where it's needed.

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 functional, durable pack with a blacked-out, minimal aesthetic.
