FORGE 30 is the second edition of our ever popular weatherproof EDC and Travel Pack built with EmberTex™. Over a year in development, this twisted nylon 6 has an abrasion resistant matte finish with no PFAS (forever chemicals).

Originally pioneered in Tokyo, the FORGE was inspired by the Japanese 3-Way Pack, long commutes and longer days mixing business, commuting and travel. The FORGE is designed to be carried three ways: Backpack, Soft-Brief and Shoulder Bag. 

Ready to pack? The FORGE unzips and divides into two separate sections: The organization panel has a place for everything while the storage compartment is made for clothing and bulky items. For long term travel: grab the expansion zipper. The FORGE instantly expands from 20 to 30 liters. If you max out the storage space, compress the FORGE with our magnetic compression straps. 

Designed to keep your gear organized and protected. Your essentials are right at hand in the quick access panel. The laptop sleeve gives you easy access to your laptop and tablet, you'll find them isolated and protected in layers of quilted EVA foam and rip-stop nylon.

Ergonomic 3D shoulder straps with two densities of EVA foam provide both cushion and support. Set up your FORGE to your fit with Load-lifters and a magnetic sternum strap. The FORGE has a contoured back-panel with an air-channel to keep you cool and dry. Our butterfly back-panel keeps your straps hidden, until you need them. Laser-cut, locking zipper pulls secure your gear.

Built from a combination of EmberTex™ and YKK® Aquaguard zippers for a durable weatherproof construction. Hidden, bonded hypalon panels 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.

FORGE 30 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 CITADEL 20 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 weatherproof, durable pack with a blacked-out, minimal aesthetic.
