Just in case anyone is interested, because there's not a lot out there about these. Here's a quick take.
Fossa Zoma. Very nice little bag. I know they call it a weekender, but physical limitations don't allow me to carry 20 or 30 discs anymore. Even the most comfortable backpacks end in fatigue and a very sore hip after a full day on the course. So a small bag is my everyday bag. That's why I like this. Small capacity, but big-bag features. The padding on the strap and back is better than any other small bag out there. The back panel is built to make the bag sit better against your back when wearing it as a sling, which is very appreciated.
Three different zippered pockets leave lots of options, although I do wish they had found a way to make the front one slightly bigger. It houses my birdie bag, but isn't big enough for a phone or wallet. The bigger side one fits a small spare towel, couple snacks, my keys. The other is where my wallet and phone go. But there are certainly other ways to utilize them. I have yet to find any use for the small pouch up top, although I was given a suggestion to fold the bag flap up and use the velco on that micropouch to keep the flap there. That has been very useful. I doubt that was the design purpose, though.
I fit 8, you can see there's a bit of a gap to jam a 9th, but it's tight. You will notice though, I made a frame from corrugated plastic. Without the frame a 9th disc fits easily. I have 3 putters, 2 mids, 3 drivers. But the frame is much more necessary than a 9th disc. It's my biggest issue with the bag. It's not very sturdy when it's set down. Especially if you throw, take out another disc for your next shot, and the compartment is a couple discs shy of full. The larger back panel, when you use the clips for towels or tags, make the bag top heavy. And since there is no rigidity to the main compartment, it flops over without the most careful placement on ground. But $3 and 15 minutes of work provides a lightweight frame that really fixes the issue completely.
I have a few rounds in with my Zoma and I love it. I had been using a 6-disc bag and I feel much more comfortable in my game with even just a couple more discs to fit specific roles instead of forcing the discs I have with me. For the same price as other small bags, you get slightly more capacity, more storage, and more comfort. Was an easy choice for me.
