My wife also got this bag and a new Grip A bag, she decided to keep the catalyst, and we sold the Grip A.
These are nice bags, they just don't have some of the little details that a more expensive bag has.

Ok, I have a few more rounds on mine. Here are my pros cons and modifications:
Pros:
I like the main pocket size- things arent banging around loose, nor stuffed in
I use that plastic handle all the time
The GGIS pocket is super convenient
Side storage is nice (especially when the main pocket isnt overloaded) I can shed a layer and stuff it in, same for hats, gloves, etc
Feels pretty sturdy and looks fairly good, even in the rain/mud
Cons:
Main pocket is a little bit loose/soft- id like it if there were a bit of a frame
Removing large diameter discs from the edges/sides is a challenge
Upper storage pouch doesnt use space wisely
I think the cupholders look silly
Mods: (I know, my warranty is gone. Oh well)
I cut open the upper storage 'pouch' to open up the top area- I love having the extra storage
I cut the seams connecting the cupholders and removed them- much better looking (i store water in the side pockets when needed
This bag was a great deal for $120 and still a good price at 145. Id like to see these go on sale around 130-135 fir those that couldnt/wouldnt pre-order
Id be happy to answer questions...

Just ordered one in grey/black and should be in tomorrow. Going from an Innova Competition bag to the Catalyst and will be my first backpack bag. Enjoyed the reviews. Hopefully I will enjoy the bag itself.

I think you will, pretty nice bag for the bucks spent.
When you get it, you will want to make sure the insert that goes into the "go get it slot" is installed correctly, not all of them are.
If you hit the catalyst mod thread, you can see how to fit it. I also showed how to make it sit lower, to make it work better.
(None of these void the warranty)

Just ordered one of these in grey/black on Friday and was curious on when it would ship and how long it would take? Really looking forward to getting this bag and getting rid of my innova starter bag.

Hi Dantel,
Your bag should ship Monday as the bags are in stock. Then depending on were you live you just need to wait on UPS. Thanks for ordering a bag I am sure you will enjoy it.

Isn't Monday a holiday?

I called UPS the other day inquiring about my bag and while waiting a recording said they will be running as usual on MLK Day. Supposed to get mine tomorrow.

Yes I figured UPS would be running as normal. MLK is generally a school holiday and possibly a government holiday.

Thanks for the quick response. I cant wait to receive this bag. Will I receive any tracking information?
