Halti backbags

[Enrico]

PLEASE NOTE: All this information was gathered from Finnish disc golf forum, and bags in pictures are prototypes. Manufacturer hasn't provided official information yet.

Two disc golf bags coming up from a Finnish outdoor & sports equipment company.

Smaller holds 12-15 + some at the top and it will cost under 100 euros. Bigger holds about 22-25 + few in the putter pocket + some at the top, it will cost under 150 euros. Fabric will be Tarpaulin, which is waterproof.

Here's the bigger one packed full of discs, if I understood correctly there's about 34 discs total, 9 of them are putters:

They look very promising. I will probably buy the smaller one next to my Prodiscus 30+ when they come out next spring. It's also nice that companies that aren't previously involved in disc golf are releasing bags.

Seems like a better variation of the CD Ranger design. I like it a lot

This one has my eye...please tell me its waterproof and can easily be used for rain rounds!

Yes, it is waterproof. It's made of tarpaulin.

Interesting bag and look.

Instantly reminded me of a puffy vest you might see in Zoolander though.

Ha! The bag can only turn right

Zoolander... Hansel, Hansel, Hansel

Dig the bag

I was thinking the same thing. To me it looks kind of like they took the lower portion of a Grip C15 and the top of a Ranger. The waterproof material sound interesting.

Where can you find info on these?

The fabric might be waterproof but I'm sure the bag won't be, too many seems and [ non-water-resistant ] zips. I woud guess that top compartment zip especially will let a lot of the water that falls on the lid through looking at the design. Shame it wasn't designed with a more simple, and watertight, flap lid.

Link anyone?

Tarpaulin is a fabric that I would not choose for a backpack bag, even if it is a higher grade than the blue tarps used to cover things. The noisiness of the material alone would drive me crazy! :doh:

Noisiness? It wasn't like that at all.

Ok, it must be a different weave of tarp then -- interesting fabric choice in any case.

I thought so too, but Halti is quite big outdoors equipment manufacturer, so I trust that they know what they are doing, at least material-wise.

 

[asc349]

This bag would go perfectly with a puffy coat or vest.

Still no links???

 

[@iDiscGolf]

Not really.

"Tarpaulin" is kind of an ambiguous term, since tarps can be made of a bunch of different materials (canvas, even). I'm thinking that this is likely heavy duty PVC tarpaulin, the kind of stuff they use on semis when covering a load.

Here's something in Finnish. You can try Translate, but results may vary.
