I am curious if anyone has recently purchased a new Revolution bag of any kind. Are there any devout customers that will not jump ship for the newer offerings? With all these new companies releasing bags, some are obviously shit while others are serious examples of ingenuity and high quality construction, will Revo be left in the dust? Or is their tank-like construction going to ensure them a steady market share in spite of the fact that they are not innovating or even trying to play catch up to the competition? Do you think they need to play catch up or do you think they have been and will be the market standard of quality and usability for the foreseeable future?
My personal opinion on the matter is that Revo makes a great product, but with options out there that are more comfortable, have better designed storage and are just sexier, I don't think I will spend my money on another Revo carolina if they don't change some of their products. If they would take a cue from grip and build a back pack that is more than just a potato sack with an internal frame, that'd be way cool. Redesign the mini deluxe to have a usable putter pocket. It seems like they just release some digi camo models to keep themselves relevant instead of working on new products. All that being said, I've had a carolina for about 3 years now which I bought used. The corners on the bottom were already torn and seem to have stayed the same over the years. It has been a very good bag, but I'm starting to get tired of digging through the side pockets for my chap stick, phone, rape kit, etc. If they would just give us pockets that aren't shit, I'd be a lot happier with the bag.
