Grip EQ large bag

[iacas]

For sure. The Coal color is more of a gunmetal; has almost a blueish tone to it. It's definitely not as dark as the website made it look.

The Coal on my clay/coal is pretty dark:

Showed up today.

Can't wait to get out and use it. I can already tell that its going to be way more comfortable than the traditional bag/backpack straps.

After seeing the color on that Im glad I didnt buy it, I really thought it was gunna be closer to black on black, that looks black on dark dark green to me

I'm not entirely sure his camera didn't try to adjust to a middle grey and lighten up all of the darks.

Im hoping that that is all it is because that thing looked amazing on the site and here it just looks, ehh

It's somewhere in between both of these.

I'm pretty sure my camera adjusted for the light, which brought out the gray a lot more, but its definitely not as dark as it appeared to be on the website or in the DD picture posted earlier. I thought it was going to be closer to black on black (definitely thought the embroidery was black), but it's not. However it's still on the darker side overall, especially compared to how the pictures came out. It's a very sharp looking bag.

How rare are the jade green/ charcoal bags?

Recieved my Doss bag over the weekend. I'm happy to say it's not as RED as I thought it might be. It's basically were the grey portions are on the standard bag. However, I was posting this more for the fact that I wanted to report. That there are no stitching issues and the bag stands nice and straight. I know there were some concerns/issues with the current crop of bags, but my last two bags have been just fine. It could be that they have to recallibrate the machines when they change materials? So if this was stopping anyone from buying a bag. I don't think you have to worry......well, maybe

Good to know. I think the next time they come up ima get me one.

Well I was about to buy one locally at disc nation but they're selling reg grips for 249.99.



I understand they need to make money off of them but geez, 50 bucks could buy more plastic!

Are the straps thinly padded? They look on the cheapish side. Maybe just the pics...

 

[SlappyMcGruff]

Just the pics. They are very padded and comfy.

 

[Um...]

Without a doubt. The straps are PLUSH!

 

[discreid]

The straps are the only part I worry about wearing out. And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be covered by the warranty under the "incidental damage" clause. I bet they last about three years before they're thin and worn out. Still worth it to me.

I switched from a Mahal, and I wish the Grip had the Mahal's straps. Those are some serious straps.

 

[Prototype]

Yeah compared to my internal frame hiking pack these look weak. I know that the load ratings are different, but they still look cheaply built.

 

[throwfromthewoods]

Double-layered mesh padding.

Nylon straps reinforce the length of the straps and across the back handle.

Padding is roughly as thick as my two rows of birdie beads side-by-side.

I'm not sure what your standards for quality are, but by mine, they're far from cheaply made.

The pic doesn't do it justice. Saw it in person this afternoon and it's not green at all so don't have that bias in your mind. Gunmetal is a good descriptor. Really sharp bag. Slimmer profile than I had imagined. Seems to hug your backside (not in a gay way) which should keep the weight close to the body.
