Revolution Disc Golf Bags

Does the prodiscus bag have a ton of room?

This is true. I love my carolina and after 3 years it still is in great condition ! just want something with more room. Customer Service ? LOL i have yet to get ANY

I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I'd hate for anyone to waist their money on such a bad product.

I won't go THAT hard against them, but he is right. In their defense, though, they were basically the first to mainstream the backpack design for disc golf. Others have had the luxury of seeing what did and didn't work and expand on that. The problem I have always had with Revo is they almost NEVER do anything to tweak their models. The Carolina has been begging for better drink holders for years, and not a single nod from Revo that it's even being considered. The Flak has already gone through 3 runs of improvement. Grip also did some 1st run tweaking.

The Dual Pack design is both dated and not optimized. The Cabela's bag is a better option than a Dual Pack at this point.

If you're cool with spending the extra $70.00, yes. It's like a damn turtle shell on your back. If you can over-fill a Prodiscus, then you just plain have problems.

I can spare another 70$ but should I? Lets hear from people who use one, does the prodiscus +/- more room then a dual pack. Also do they come in purple?

[throwfromthewoods]

Unfortunately purple is not a color option. And yes, the Prodiscus has a LOT more room than a Revo. I said this in another thread, but it's like the hobo bag of disc golf. I could fit enough clothes and food and discs to just live on the course for a few days (I exaggerate only slightly).

The downside is, they are tough to come by as well. Kai has to ship them to you from Finland. So unless you can find one stateside, it's a tricky purchase. Marshall St has a couple as well, though. The turquoise they have in stock now is particularly sharp.

This is very accurate. The bag is terrible and after being around one and recently building a PVC frame for one I will go out of my way to make sure people know how awful their back pack and communication are. Buyer beware.

If you want a true upper compartment and storage check out the Challenger Pak.

Haven't had any complaints and it has a lifetime warranty.

Btw they will be unveiling the new website this week I heard. To get a preview check it out at physicalflightdg.com without the www

Just gives you an option

Another backpack to consider is the gorilla boy simian. It has a little less disc space, but a ton of storage and it's much more comfortable on the back than the dual pack, not to mention the built in stool. The main compartment holds 12-15 discs plus 2 putter pockets, either of the side pockets and the bottom pocket can hold an additional 3-4 discs or a full sized hoodie or all kinds of smaller stuff.

its hard to see the color in that picture but I'm thinking i might go the prodiscus route .
