New Bag Company - Grip Equipment

[fullnelson]

where on DD?

They ended up selling their entire inventory before having any opportunity to even put it up on their site. The minute I read that they were receiving some of the extras I emailed them directly and within 5 minutes had received an invoice on paypal to buy it.

"Thanks for the recent request to purchase a Grip Equipment Bag. We received these today and shipped out every one of them. The bags are everything and more of what we expected and the demand for these is way more than projected! More bags are expected to arrive around March 1st. The price on these will be set at $200 as soon as the next shipment comes in. We are offering a pre-order sale of $185 shipped from now until Feb 1st. This price includes the shipping plus Dynamic Discs stainless steel water bottle, key chain lanyard, stickers, and Grip Equipment bag tag. If you are interested in purchasing please email me back and an invoice will be sent to be paid online or you can call the shop and we will take your information over the phone."

ZOMG!! 3 more hours til my bag is here and ironically when I am on my lunch break!

The lack of a big pocket is very dissapointing. The other exclusive features are making me want it though. I don't know what to do.

Ya, I hear ya.

Though thinking back about it now I don't think I've actually needed to carry around a sweater other than when I was wearing one and took it off mid round. And even that's been rare.

Very tempted to pull the trigger on one and put it up against my Simian to see which one will win the day.

Now that I know these are on their way, the last day of waiting has got to be the worst. Mine's not scheduled to deliver til tomorrow. Want it now.

I'm real curious to see just exactly how much space is available in the side pockets.

Booter-

Your bag has been re routed to my back. haha :twisted:

[booter]

Those of us way out in the wild wild west that have to wait til tomorrow should at least have more bag porn to satisfy ourselves with.

I just bought one from DD.

I think Jeremy is holding one for me. Damn I suck.

 

[booter]

damnit . Come on 12 pm!!!

 

[booter]

booom!
first impressions, this thing is sexy. 2nd impression,its not as big as i thought. so i filled it up with everything i had in my lat bag. thats a big ass bag lol. i had room for most.i had to take out a couple discs. no biggie. the putter pocket on top was a little tight to take the putters out with ease. one putter in there is feasible ,2 , well its a lil harder
the side pockets arent as big as i hoped,i was hoping to be able to fit a hoodie or something in there since the weather changes quickly here in texas. there wasnt a specific pocket dedicated to the minis(that i saw) so i put it in the side compartment pocket. no biggie again. the pencil and pen pockets were a little odd as i didnt knw what they were for at first. the main compartment is nice and all my discs are easy to remove and insert with ease. the 2 front pockets are nice and i guess one could put more discs in there as well but i probably wont. the coolest thing i though was that quiver dealio in the putter pocket on top. nice touch j@. the other cool thing was that the side strap and pocket for the stool was nice as well. i can see it working perfectly for the stool on one side and the umbrella on the other. the nalgene holders were very tight. i had to twist and shove the 32 oz nalgenes i had,not really too happy about that as in the summer,i fill those puppies up to the brim. hopefully theyll stretch out.the secret pocket for the rainfly is tits. i didnt even notice it lol. the straps,ventilated area on the back and comfort of the bag itself felt amazing. sooo comfortable. forgive my brief description of the bag but i gotta get back to work from my lunch break!! haha

also i put it next to my sim to show size comparison etc. enjoy!

i hate you

still waiting on fedex to drop mine off!

and also i carry more discs than you, so i am a bit nervous. I have actually been trying to cut out discs I don't need as backups(3+). lets see how many I can fit in this thing 8)

 

[booter]

you can probably fit more so I'll be messin with it when I get home. I still need to fit in 2 putters :/

 

[Eric O]

Sweet pics, thanks. No dedicated mini marker pocket? I can see that driving me nuts.

Not I. Any time I'm using a mini I keep it in my pocket, not the bag.

Thanks Booter!

One more question. How do the zippers and stitching compare with Gorilla Boys?

 

[what'shisname]

Oh! Also, how would the discs ride if you took 5-6 discs out and put a hoodie or a jacket in their place?

It rides fine with five discs taken out and a hoodie jammed in their place. The bag has a plastic/foam internal frame just like you'd find in a hiking pack, in the back and sides of the main compartment hidden inside pockets that are sealed with velcro. It helps the bag keep it's shape even when empty.

Also found two D-rings inside the main compartment that could be useful.
