I'm looking in to getting a new, bigger bag. These are the 2 I'm looking at now. What do you guys think of these bags, or is there another bag that's even better than these. Whatever bag I get, i'm getting quad shocks to go with it.

What about a revo bag?
I been carrying my Silverback for over 5 years now. I have no problems with it. The durability is still there.

Picture's iffy, took it with my camera phone.
I used to carry a Revo before then, My problem was the internal frame would often crack and I would have to contact Revo to get a replacement. This took awhile at times. Definitely good fabric and stitching as well.
If you do decide on the Kong, PLEASE!!! use the code "KENT" on the gorilla boy proshop just to show mr gorilla boy that your sticking it to the man.
Yes 5cents would go to me to help fund for my disc golf travels.
They must have fixed the problem with their new roll cages, because neither mine or any of my friends have had any issues whatsoever.
Also, the side pockets on the Kong are not nearly as large as the Revo bag. For me, this made quite a difference if I wanted to bring a few extra discs to test in addition to my normal compliment. The Kong carries a max of 20 discs in it's main compartment; the Revo can hold 17. The side pockets of the Kong are not larger enough to carry discs, while the Revo side pockets can carry 4 discs comfortably each, and 5 if they are stuffed. So, Kong: 20 = 2 putters = 22 discs. Revo: 25-27 + 2 putters = 27-29 discs.

I've heard more than just a couple complaints about the roll cage in the Revolution. It is a very common problem. There are also minor nuisances that they refuse to fix.
I have heard very few complaints about GB bags beyond that they don't have a huge pocket like the Revolution. However the do have small pockets, so you don't have to throw all of your stuff into two giant pockets and fish for it every time you try to get something out of it.
I also do not understand how you couldn't try new discs with the Kong. If you're carrying 22 discs in addition to the new ones to try you aren't going to be trying your new discs very well/often. And what's happened to your cargo room when you have your four new discs in the side pockets?
I am sorry, I don't understand the complaint about the frame and rigidity...
you describe yourself as person who carries a full load in the bag - including all of the pockets and you say the bag's frame has no rigidity?
It is 1000d Cordura with bullet proof stitching stretched to the gills... ain't nothing gonna move in that bag if you fill it to capacity... Somebody built a better mousetrap with simple parts and the complaint is that it isn't elegant enough?
I still have my proto-type Silverback with the original frame going on 5 years now... not feeling the logic of the post vs. my experiences...
Fascinating.
