Innova ProtoPack

Well, it finally happened! Innova is going into full competition with Grip, Upper Park Designs, and all the rest of the tournament backpack manufacturers with a high quality, high capacity backpack. First look here:

Nice Grip-Off.

That stack of discs in the video has 25 in it in case anyone was wondering: 4 putters, 4 mids, and 17 drivers. I'm guessing that's going to be the advertised capacity.

Yawn

No offense to you hughes

ISWUDT.

Nice Grip-Off.

It is actually a partnership with the old salient manufacturer. :hfive:

The cup holders look interesting. Looks like a single strap connecting to pieces of fabric? Doesnt look insulated, not that that matters with hydroflasks, etc.

Innova should've kept it old school. :|

That things huge. It still sometimes surprises me that people need and want that much gear and that many discs on the course. It looks like the bag Catrina Allen wears. Looks like they're going backwoods backpacking for 5 days

One thing I was surprised at with the octothorpe was how much it can hold but still felt pretty reasonably small. :thmbup:

 

[DiscinFiend]

I'm most interested in the durability/materials it's made out of.

This one's pretty cool. Made of waterproof material.

I am very excited for this new pack. I currently shoulder the Innova Hero Backpack and after multiple rounds I am close to being done with it. The side supports are horrendous. The right side of the bag leans toward the middle of the bag and it drives me insane. I have done the corrugated plastic board (2 pieces including the side support that came with the backpack) for added support, velcro pieces to hold it in place etc etc and nothing works. Very disappointing. :thmbdown:

Add a U channel and it'll hold the sides in place so it'll stand up properly.

4 putters, 4 mids, and 17 drivers.

So they're targeting chuckers?

"I've got my 9 Bosses, 4 Apes, a Max, a Teerex, and two Firebirds. I throw with so much power I can flip all of them over..."

I see no reason to replace my A14 with this pack, and depending on price, it shouldn't be too much competition for the established brands for those in the know. It'll still flood courses though if it shows up for sale at Academy Sports.

$180

That looks like an Arsenio Hall jacket.

 

[Bamm]

I was thinking Michael Jackson jacket minus the zippers.......... But yeah, that theme........

 

[cooter]

Doesn't seem bad. The bottom looks very large and stable. It also looks like the disc area juts out a bit so discs will be easy to get in and out.
