Hey there. Yes, you can access your keys without taking the Black Ember DEX30 Duffel completely off. It's designed with quick access pockets and compartments, allowing you to reach your essentials easily. Cheers!
Hello. Thanks for the love! 🙌 The 45L is a great choice. As personal item, a 30L should be accepted as it fits well under the seat and the overhead bin. Safe travels! ✈️
Hello. The Black Ember Dex 45 is very similar to the Dex 30 and only differs in capacity. Feel free to let us know if there's anything specific you'd like us to cover!
Both bags are made of quality materials and craftsmanship, but for comparison, you may check the links below to see the bags' details: aersf.com/products/capsule-pack blackember.com/products/dex30 Thanks for watching! -Katreen
If you prefer a sleek, minimalist design and need a bag for daily use or short trips, choose the Black Ember DEX30 Duffel, but if you need a bit more space and appreciate additional features like a ventilated wet/dry compartment and dedicated shoe storage, choose the Boundary Supply Errant Duffel 2.0. Cheers!
Yes, the Black Ember DEX30 Duffel's hypalon connections (more durable than pvc fabrics) and stitching are designed for long term durability, ensuring reliable performance even with regular use. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
Hello! Thanks for your comment. The bag is marketed as weatherproof, meaning it's water-repellent and water-resistant, but it's important to note that it's not completely waterproof. Cheers!
Yes, the Fidlock system on the Black Ember DEX30 Duffel is designed to be strong and reliable, even in shoulder mode. Fidlock magnetic buckles are known for their secure closure and ease of use, providing a solid and dependable connection. Users of the DEX30 Duffel have reported positive experiences with the Fidlock system, highlighting its durability and the peace of mind it offers when carrying heavier loads in shoulder mode. The magnetic lock ensures the straps stay securely in place while also allowing for quick and easy adjustments:)
Tired this for a week or so but in my opinion it doesn’t have the comfort or ergonomics to be a true “do it all” bag. The side pockets are large and are oriented for the duffel bag orientation, so loose power banks, wallets, etc are not secure if you’re using it as a backpack. Having the boarding kit or shoes in the side pockets also significantly cuts down on what you can fit in the main compartment. As a travel bag or gym bag it’s fine, but not for walking and moving.
Hi. You make a great point about the side pockets and how they affect the main compartment's space when fully loaded. Your feedback on the comfort and ergonomics is super helpful, we'll forward this to the brand for future design improvements. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Do you think this could fit a weeks worth of clothes? Been looking for a carryon bag that I can use for an upcoming trip and I really like this bag but not sure how much it can hold.
Yes, the Black Ember DEX30 Duffel has a 30-liter capacity and dimensions of 19x12x9 inches. With its convertible design, including backpack and duffel modes, it appears to be suitable for a week-long trip as a carry-on bag. The various compartments, including a shoe pocket and top pocket, suggest it is well-designed for organized travel.
Killed the review, clean edit and love the board kit mini. Keep it up Zack!
Thanks so much! Have a good one. Cheers!
I love Black Ember! Can you tell me if you can access your keys without taking the bag completely off?

Love this bag but as a UK viewer it’s over $400 to buy once delivery is included - and that is just far too expensive which is really disappointing
Thanks for your insights and for watching our video. We understand your concern about the price, but we assure you that the bag is worth every penny!
Love the video man!!! Do you think this can get away as a personal item on an airplane? I have the 45 and love it!!!

You look like Sam from Death Stranding with this backpack. It's more like for couriers
I'm a fan of Death Stranding too, and I agree! 😎Black Ember backpacks are designed for adventurers and urban explorers alike. -Joe
Between this and boundary supply errant duffel 2.0 which one would you recommend?

When rains, the water enter all in the bag… i find all my stuff wet! But it is waterproof?
Hello! Thanks for your comment. The bag is marketed as weatherproof, meaning it's water-repellent and water-resistant, but it's important to note that it's not completely waterproof. Cheers!
@@RushfasterTV Thanks for the explanation. There is something to make that completely waterproof?
How would this material do with pet hair?
Hi there! The CORDURA® re/cor RN66 material can (sadly) pick up pet hair. But it should be easy to clean with a lint roller or damp cloth. Cheers
wonder is fidlock strong enough for the shoulder mode?

30 liter is plenty of space for a weeks work of clothes
The 30 l is pretty small. Get the 45. Volume on this bag is different as in other companies
