Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and would like to thank you all for your continued support of Salient Discs. I am just popping in to let everyone know some of the changes for the next Catalyst.
1. The first change will be that the name is going to change from Catalyst to Ember. We feel that with the amount of changes we are making this will almost be an entirely different bag so we feel it deserves a new name.
2. We will be removing the small side pockets and the vertical pocket and will be replacing it with the side storage from the Helix.
3. I know a big complaint with the Catalyst was that we did not make the best use of the upper storage of the bag. We have now changed the design and made the very top a bit more rectangular and added in a full zipper to make the top of the bag a big pocket similar to the Helix but the zipper may be a bit bigger on Ember.
4. The top plastic handle has been removed as we will be using the straps from the Helix which integrates the handle into the straps.
5. The go get it slot will now be a zipper pocket instead of velcro so the pocket will be able to zip up with discs in it.
6. The bag will also now include 2 rails on the bottom instead of the rubber feet to better protect the base and keep the bottom clean and dry.
7. Ember will now include a rain fly for better rain protection.
Even with all these changes and upgrades we will be keeping it around the same price and include a better warranty. The ember will almost be a slimmed down Helix and slightly less body curves. It should be a great option for those that think the Helix is a bit big for them.
