I converted my Swiss gear backpack today. Was pretty simple, and the only mod I plan to do is plasti-dip on the bottom. Im carrying 16 discs (could fit one or two more in the front, as well as a few in the back compartment), two large bottles, rain jacket, minis in the "audio pocket", and odds and ends in the small front zipper pocket. Might make a putter pocket for it eventually, but im happy with it for now. Also saved me a ton of coin compared to the current bags on the market considering I already had the bag.

I have the Bonner III bag...and i love it. did all of the mods: added corrugated plastic to the inside bottom for support, as well as in the back of pack. i also took my u-channel from my Innova Tourney bag which is placed on top of corrugated plastic. i super glued the zipper teeth to stop the zips from moving too far down. this thing is AWESOME. very small gripe: the material does not breathe well at all when it is warm out so this will be my winter season bag. perfect storage room for a hoodie when it starts getting chilly. seriously this bag is awesome. alot of DG buddies were asking me about it when i played a few rounds this past weekend. love it. i have 19 discs in the main compartment and two putters in the front. this thing is legit.

Thank you, I definitely could, but it has a cell phone pocket, pencil/sharpie pockets, and room for hand sanitizer etc etc. So I really enjoy having that space available.

Applied the generic "truck bed liner" to the bottom of my bag and man is it tough!! Very easy to apply as well.

Great job! Is it a hiking bag?

Haha, thanks. We dont have outside lighting, so when we entertain, we light tiki torches and turn on the red Christmas lights. Ladies love it. The low light makes me look better as well :thmbup:

So I ended up using spray on bedliner last night for my DIY Swissgear bag. I went and played a round this afternoon before it had fully cured, but it ended up being bulletproof/waterproof. This bag should last me quite a while. Last image shown is after I got home, to show the wear (none) from it being used but not completely cured.

How heavy is the whole thing? That's a big framed hiking bag right? With all the discs and all the PVC i could see it getting a little heavny.
