I'm purchasing a nice cyclocross bike to use as an all-purpose commuter and trail bike to save on gas, get additional exercise and help build up my leg muscles as a better foundation for playing disc golf. I plan on cycling to one of my local courses daily (5 or 15 miles one-way, depending on course).
As much as I like my Lat64 Pro Bag I just don't think I'm going to want to cycle with it, and investing in a good backpack bag is probably what I need to do at this point.
I found one old thread from 2010 but there wasn't a lot of info or activity, and there have been a lot of backpacks released since then, so I thought I'd get some new feedback and opinions on this subject.
I tend to carry a lot of discs (hence, the Lat bag) but have been trying to narrow things down a bit. Even with pulling some out though I'll still probably be carrying around 21-22 discs, in addition to snacks, towels, baseball, retriever, pencil/sharpie, water bottle and a few other little odds and ends. Except when playing one or two-disc rounds I like to bring my full bag.
I was highly interested in the Ergo2 and got to check one out at a tournament this past weekend, my only concern is enough space for all my discs...
I like trilogy and DD discs, but I just really don't like the Ranger bag and so it is probably out of consideration. The boxiness of it makes me think it wouldn't be that aerodynamic for cycling anyway.
On the flip side, while I'm not a fan of Prodigy discs, I am highly interested in the new backpack bag that Prodigy players were sporting at the Memorial, but I heard that it might not be out until June...?
I'm open to considering Grip, Prodiscus, Golf Mahal, etc. but the opinions I'm most interested is from players who actually cycle with their backpack and what they think of their particular bag.
Thanks!
