Thinking about buying a Bigger Bag

[topdawgy58]

I bought a Fade Crunch Box that holds 14 Discs. I been thinking I should get a bag that holds 20 dics and has room for all my other stuff.
Anybody have any suggestions on what to buy?

Revolution or Gorilla Boy

[snap7times]

yep, revolution or Gorilla Boy are the best, do the research, this comparison has been done several times.

They look spendy compared to the Fade bags.

I just went through this same process. I ended up getting the Revolution Carolina bag after much advice from this board, and doing my own research. Here is an article that helped me with my final decision.

Go back aslo and read the posts on the tread "Fade Gear TOURNEY DISC GOLF BAG?"

I actually just got my new bag yesterday, and so far I am really happy with my decision. Since I have not actually used it yet I feel I can't not give a review yet.

Hey Cindy
You did not like the Fade bag? It costs about half as much. Plus they are more colorful.

From my expirience, fade is a cheaper replica of the innova bags. I have a gorilla boy bag and it is super light and the storage room is great. Also Gorilla Boy is a sponsor for our 2009 ODDGC at Horning's Hideout so I'm looking forward to seeing what they send me for sponsorship. I plan to buy the Kong this year. I have both a Innova tournament bag and Gorilla Silverback.

[topdawgy58]

Yup I was looking at the Kong and it looks like a really nice Bag with lots of room and pockets. I also love the camo pattern. Probaly buy one when I get my taxes back.

I will be getting a Kong in either dark Red or green... hard to decide, waiting for the owner to get back to me about pictures so I can make a better decision on which color to get.

I would compare two things when considering these bags - 1. the strength of the fabric (500 vs 1000) and 2. the weight of the bag when empty.

decided on kelly green kong bag, so excited. Gorilla Boy uses 1000, Revolution uses a mix of 1000 and 1650 denier cordura. What company uses 500?

[topdawgy58]

I need to look at in person the silverback and Kong bags before I fork over all my money. Do they sell these bags anywhere?

[snap7times]

Gorilla Boy is a smalllllll company run by one guy basically. There are a few NW peeps who have a gorilla boy bag from their sponsorship to the 2007 National Deaf championship in Oregon. They all love it, as the review link from legorules post mentions, it is a solid LIGHT bag. I have a silverback already, it is half the weight as the innova bags, HALF! I can fit about 9-10 drivers and 3-4 mids in the main compartment of the Silverback and then 3 putters in the front using the front zipper area and putter holder. I expect the kong to be able to take on 2-3 more drivers and 2-3 more mids. But the real reason I'm getting the Kong is for road trips, can fit all the accessories in the extra space that is not filled by discs etc. Let's just say this, i Know at least 20 people with Gorilla Boy bags nationwide, not one of them has said anything bad about the bags.

I believe the Revo Mini is 500 denier. Still tough as nuts though.

Also, a while back I did a write up comparing GB and Revo bags and posted the link on here. Here it is again though, if you want to take a gander: http://www.aadgonline.com/66/revolution-vs-gorilla...-for-the-buck/

Whether it's 500, 1000 or 1650 denier doesn't really matter; if it's cordura it will be strong enough regardless.

Tim's bag comparison review is definitely worth the time looking over for anyone thinking of buying a disc bag.

[snap7times]

Yeah it was an awesome article. It was great, I would love to hear what you have to say now after using those bags. I will try to add some input after using the Kong. I chose Gorilla because I have one already and love it, just want to upgrade.

Take a look at the Phenix bag... www.phenixdiscsports.com

I've got a bit of a conflict of interest but I think it really is the best bag out there right now. When you get the rain-x liner, by far the best when it comes to the rain...

[snap7times]

Heh, I always thought those bags looked a little fishy, the storage space dosent look so good however the middle storage space can be a good or bad idea. From what I understand, the line-x covers your bag and discs but is that a one peice that you can remove each time? The picture isn't clear. Maybe I should just make my own bag that would be a better fit to the northwest and get rich off yall? *dreaming*

[cefire]

You can store more discs than a revo carolina (my previous bag) but it has less space if you want to store a sweatshirt or something like you could with the revolution. Middle storage space is nice because then you can store heavy things in the center of the bag rather than having to balance weight.

The line-x is a permanent plastic coating on the bottom of the bag which makes it completely waterproof on the bottom. My revo used to suck up water when I set it down in the rain soaking everything inside and both of mine ripped on the bottom (line-x isn't going to rip ).

Phenix bags do not really look that great. Nothing campred to Gorilla or Revo or even Fade. Take a look at them and be honest Dude.
