The Official PF Contender thread (reviews, thoughts, etc.)

[HeavyCritters]

We ran a 12 hour special for our Facebook fans a couple of weeks ago for anyone who wanted a bag. Pays to be friends with us on Facebook!!

I am friends with you guys on facebook...

Oh well.

Still need to decide if I'm going to go with sexy or durable.

haha trust me, neither did I. But I am still happy with a 170 dollar bag versus 200

 

[nkhoury]

[Titan037]

Contender

It seems like you would want the water bottle holders next to your back so all the weight was closer to your back for a better ride since two water bottles will be way heavier the the discs in the pockets at least that's how you pack a bag for hiking

My 2 cents plus it looks goofy

 

[kilgus]

Weight is neglible in the grand scheme of things. Water bottles in the front act as anti tipping agents so you can put your bag on most steep grades and not have to worry.

Im interested in checking this thing out

Only a small percentage of dgers carry 2 big nalgenes. Plus, the neat thing about water bottles...they get lighter as you drink them

You obviously haven't spent much time in Texas

Some of us have dogs that struggle in the heat (Bully breeds) and have to carry three plus Nalgenes on a two round day too.

Contender

For counterbalance it makes seance but I like the look of the challenger alot more than the contender it looks pretty goofy

Just my opinion

Kilgus said it looks more boxy in pics, i thought the same thing but even though it won't be as sleek as a grip, i still know i have i e of the best bags on the market and you can't forget about the price

 

[kilgus]

The depth from front to back is the same as the Challeger. Only thing that changed was width and height by a few inches. So shape is similar just a bit shorter and the edges are rounded.

LOL

Did I read correctly that this bag's specs contain a specific pocket for carrying a concealed weapon?

 

[UCF_Knight]

I think the huge contrast of the red and black also is throwing off the look in the pics we have seen so far. I think the less bright colors like navy, grey, and camo will have a much less boxy look. Its hard to even compare it to a grip when a grip has only ever been done in the slimming all black scheme.

Grips have been made in more than just black. The Nate Doss Edition is red and black.

Depth is the same on many bags...A disc is only but so wide, therefore we make sure we go a little wider roughly 9 inches give or take a half inch to make the disc fit snugly

Doesn't invalidate the statement. If you think people that live in hot, dry places and people who bring their dogs to the course make up the majority of DGers, I'd say you don't really see the big picture.

I didn't say nobody carries a lot of water. Just that it's a minority. For hot tournament days I keep a cooler in my car. Maybe 1 in 50 players I've played with have 64 oz. on them at all times.

But that's the beauty of marketshare. There are other bags out there for people who want different things out of a bag.

The pockets weren't put away from the body because very few people carry that much water though. If that were the case, I imagine there would only be one pocket. They were put there to help stabilize the bag on the ground (at least I remember reading that from kilgus when it was brought up earlier in the sale thread).
