Yes. Water is very heavy.

The same amount of discs and water in another pack would be just as heavy. Right now I have 20 discs in my bag which is the max I carry at any time. I also carry a 1.5 liter hydrapak and a disc gator and it is a heavy carry but with the bag fitted properly is feels not so heavy

finally got to post a pic of the new bag. i took it out for a practice round yesterday with just putters, rocs and a cooler full of beer. life is good.
I've been thinking of sorting my bag like that for a party round. A LOT of beer can fit in that bag.
I carry two as well.
I carry a Grip which I understand is alot smaller but I also carry more Discs. I think it (The Mahal) fit pretty well. Just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. Each to his/her own. Just not for me... Kinda wanted one too, just to heavy for what it is and what Im going to use it for..
i don't have a grip but i did compare my mahal to my dual pack and the mahal only weight a pound more.

Hmm I don't use the crest strap. It makes a difference? I still my bag is not fit the right way

Said backpackers everywhere.. a kilo/liter. Not much you can do about that.
I will say though, that the mahal carries so very nicely once adjusted. This should come as no surprise though, since it utilizes a frame pack yoke. This is exactly why I went with a mahal, that and (to be honest) I trust Mystery Ranch to be around a while, and honor their warranty without issue.
I don't notice a difference with the sternum strap, not enough to warrant using it all round. I always use a sternum strap backpacking, but I don't take the pack off and put it back on multiple times an hour. Same is true with the hip belt.
All in all, unless I expand the side pockets.. the mahal is smaller than most backpacks in actual cc measurement. I'm really happy with it, it's much MUCH heavier than my backpacking packs.. but I don't think I'd want to deal with an ultralight golf pack either (for the same reasons I skip the sternum strap and hip belt)

The mahal is the best backpack I own. It doubles as a day pack, overnight backpacking trips for the lite packer, carry on luggage for flying, and perfect for those long DG/road trips. Hope that helps!?

It does come in green, foliage green. They're doing a production run of foliage green to by delivered mid-November.
I'm on the list to receive one of them!

How do you clean ur bag. I have had mine for a while now and it could use a good wash.

Their military pack warranty page has info about how they expect the pack to arrive for repairs: http://www.mysteryranch.com/about-military-packs/military-packs-warranty
In short, use pressurized water without soap. Don't dry in direct sunlight.
I've done a fair bit of hiking in my life. I've always used white vinegar diluted in water 1:10 ratio and let the pack soak for a day or so to loosen the grime. Washed off with a garden hose and hung up to dry. The vinegar is there to help with the stank odors that a pack worn for a month straight will always accumulate. Now, my overnight packs are really funky and have lots of interesting stories behind them... so I really doubt a DG pack would be nearly that bad.

All Mahals are out of stock. The info I was given was they're doing a run of foliage green due mid-November. The midnight and black run will be available mid-December.
I tried to order the midnight last week. I got an email back with delivery info I listed above, which is why I switched to the foliage green (which was my first choice anyway).

Sizing
If the pack was not sized with you and someone else to help chances are it was not adjusted properly and with the yolk system that's a must it's not like a grip where you throw it on your back and tighten the straps.
The mahal is designed to carry more discs and weight if it's dialed in right you won't feel it in your back even with 2 32 oz waters
