Bought an orange Solider with matching straps from a local player who went to the GBO. I'd have to say my opinion thus far is mixed. Compared to my Innova Competition bag, this is a little smaller (which I expected).
Best thing I like about the bag is the light weight. For whatever reason, this thing feels two pounds lighter with all of the same gear in it. (Or maybe, I just have two pounds of dust in my old bag after six years). I also think the more square shape of the bag makes it easier to lift and drop without all the weight shifting like you have in a more rectangular bag. The pouch inside of the top flap is a nice touch.
Number one thing I don't like about it are the straps (including the shoulder strap that came with the bag), most notably the plastic carabiners which are a minor bitch to get on and off with my boney fingers. Nothing you couldn't improve though by modding with metal carabiners and keychain rings. I'm also not digging the double putter pocket with the open bottom. If they had just kept this closed, there's be room for a mini pocket on the front.
I'll probably learn to do with the quads, but like a lot of the other newer quad straps on the market, these things are not Phenix quality, and I can see them wearing out fast. Right now, I'm just using the shoulder strap as I bought this more for a league/casual bag, and generally even with my old bag and quads, never put the straps up on both shoulders every time I needed to move it. For tournaments or hilly courses, I'm likely sticking with the Competition.
So my two cents. If you're looking for a casual bag but still want the luxury of carrying around 15-17 discs, this is a solid choice. If you need a more featured bag in the sub $100 range, consider alternatives. If you're saving up money for a backpack, keep on saving.
