Now I'm going to have a real choice ahead of me...I was going to get matching Upper Park backpacks for my wife and daughter, but this thing is pretty dang nice as well. Hoping it comes in pink or purple!

i would get this bag over the upper park all day long

thank you for the video, wish companies would be more proactive in that. no mini pocket right?

 

[kilgus]

No mini pocket externally. There is a small inside pocket in the top zippered section that we use as a mini pocket. The production run will not change except for the logo on the front pouch and that may actually become a mini pocket between the pencil holders (99% that will happen).

Any logo pics?

 

[kilgus]

Pics will be up this weekend on the website. You can expect our round Salient logo that is small. No website or anything like that on it.

I like the idea of a mini pocket in between the pencil holders, that will make that area not look so plain.

Awesome! I was struggling with paying $180+ for a backpack, but I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from preordering a Catalyst.

We are all about making disc golf affordable for everyone. A stand carry bag in ball golf is around $120 so why can't a disc golf bag be similar priced? It can be hence the reason the catalyst was made.

:clap: Wow Chris! If you can swing it to get a mini pocket on there that would be outstanding!

I don't know if others feel the same way, but for me an external mini pocket is essential on a DG bag. If there is any way to swing it without affecting the $120 price tag I would highly recommend it. I may actually need to pick one of these up in addition to my 2nd Run Contender and Mahal if it gets a mini pocket too.

Either way it's an amazing bag, but a mini pocket would really push it over the top. Here's hoping opcorn:

How well will this bag hold a stool and/or umbrella?

And then the logo could just be on the mini pocket flap correct?
