So rather than put this in the previous Gateway Bag thread I thought I would add it here for easier search purposes. Today I swung by the Gateway factory and picked up one of their new Kilimanjaro bags. Below you will find my thoughts, but I will add this disclaimer. I am a big fan of gateway, partially for their awesome customer service. I am partial to the brand, but have not picked up one of their bags in the past because I didn't care for them.
So first off some photos of the outside. I picked this up in green. They also had Red, Black, Blue, and Woodland camo.
The frame is akin to gateway frames of the past. PVC rails with corrugated plastic sides. Very light and simple. As the bag wears you may even be able to space it out for a disc or so more storage down the line.
I had 17 discs stored in the main disc storage area. 3 shallow putters, 4 mids, 2 speed 7's, 5 speed 9ish discs, 3 speed 13 ish discs. Of course if you don't use as many putters as I do your storage will increase.
There is a putter pocket that holds 2 putters. This picture shows a wizard and scale. If you put with something more like an envy or colt you may be able to fit 3. The mini pocket feels secure and is shown with a gateway stash mini, which is somewhat large by mini standards.
The flap that closes over the main storage compartment rolls up and is stowed out of the way by velcro on the straps.
The bottom compartment is sizable and vented. I can easily stash a moderate sized hoodie in there. I could also fit a rain shell as well. A pair of shoes may fit in here after a round, or of course this can be used for extra disc storage. The flap is mesh, so for those of you that like to annoy me and carry speakers with you this could be the perfect pocket.
The side pockets are super deep. Each have a mesh pocket on the outside as you can see above. Each also have a felt pocket for valuables. One side is bigger than the other, so all phones should be able to fit. I will probably use this to stash a few utility discs, in the picture there is a dog disc, vibram soft summit, and vibram soft ibex in the pocket.
