I trimmed 3/4" or so off the stay and have had no problem since. I push it back down about once per round, but no problem other than minor annoyance.
Except for the lack of a rain fly, only pros. Carries 10 drivers, 4 mids and three putters REALLY comfortably. Light and cool on your back. Good storage too.
I really dig it, and love it for summer rounds. But it just ain't gonna work in steady rain.
Anyone know what the Shift weighs empty? Does it feel lite on your back. Easy on and off?
As long as you don't need to carry 28 discs and a stool, umbrella and kitchen sink the Shift is worth consideration. I had 15 discs, a down vest, birdie bag, flask, 2 nalgenes and some random other gear in the bag and it carried effortlessly. I'll get some more pics and a more detailed review put up here soon, but DAMN this is a nice bag.
I haven't scaled it but it can't be more than 3 pounds. It feels fantastic on the back and goes on/off really easily. I removed the sternum and waist straps, because they just aren't needed. As a reference, I am 6' tall 210lbs and this thing feels tailored for me.
A few pictures of it loaded up. I find the top inside slot to work perfectly as a putter quiver by just unzipping the top edge of the flap. everything inside stays safe and I can get at the putters a little easier up top than in the mesh side slots.
^NIIIICE orange looks great!
I keep my putters in the top now to as a "quiver" too. I love keeping the zippers pulled up and have my other discs in the vertical storage covered up and "secret".. lol
so I'll keep the firebird, gator, or fresh brinster bird in there then reach in and take it out like a special relief pitcher coming in to a baseball game.
Hey guys! Just wanted to let you guys know that I check this forum daily and am here if you need anything. I leave the general questions for you guys to answer because I think it means more coming out of your mouths then mine. Granted, I could have answered the empty Shift weight question :doh: I'll step in if I feel like something needs to be addressed, but you guys have all been really great so far. Your feedback and compliments are exactly why we began this company and I love reading everything you guys have to say, even if it is something we need to improve on.
It's pretty clear that we are one of the smaller backpack companies in disc golf, but we feel like we have so much more to offer. Not just through newer versions of our current products, but with the bank of new ideas we have yet to dive into. You all know that the majority of bags in this sport (some more than others) reflect similarly to each other. While that may work for some, we strive to continue our path of stylish, unique, and functional designs for as long as we are around.
So here I am, asking you guys for suggestions on how we can extend our reach and grow our small company. We want customers to get their hands on our bags so we are starting to get into wholesale (currently in 15 stores across the US). If you know anyone who would be interested in stocking our bags, have them email [email protected] and we will ship you one of our new Upper Park minis for free for your good effort. Note: make sure we know the lead came from you. We are also officially sponsoring 5 players, with more to come. We have tried to be apart of tournament sponsorship but being so young, money is tight. And we have touched on an Ambassador program where you would get your own discount code and be rewarded (discs/bags, gift cards, cash) for getting sales locally. Sound interesting? Any other suggestions on how we can continue to grow?
We are looking forward to the future!
Cheers,

Assuming this grows and actually starts to tear that is covered in your 1year warranty correct? I can post a picture if necessary.
