The Rebel is what other bags dream to be...
You read that right, other bags dream to be the Rebel, but no other bag compares to this one! I have carried several different bags from Dynamic and Innova, and most recently carried a GripEQ AX5. Coming from those bags to the Rebel has changed how I play. The first thing I noted when I got my Rebel was the weight. Empty, it weighs noticeably less than my AX5. Second, is the craftsmanship. Every stitch, seam, and zipper was designed to withstand the elements and the stress a bag goes through. The third thing I noted, and it shocked me, was that even though the bag appears smaller than my AX5, I can fit several more discs in it with ease. When they say 30+ capacity, that is not a joke. I have 33 discs in it and could fit 3 more in the other side pocket. That brings me to another thing, the side pockets are big enough to fit several discs, which is an awesome feature. I currently have a putter and 2 mid-ranges in one side pocket alone! Alright, but what about usability you ask. Well, the bag sits. My AX5 would constantly fall over when I would drop it set it down. The Rebel will stay up even though I have been dropping it down without a care. The top pouches hold discs surprisingly well yet the discs are easy to grab! The top pouch on my AX5 was hard to remove discs from if I had more than 2 or 3 in there, and it was frustrating to have to struggle just to get the disc I want. I thought they would fall out of the Rebel if I leaned over with the bag on, or tossed the bag to the ground, but no, they stayed right in the pouch. Another pro of this bag is the rain cover. No other bag I have purchased came with a rain cover. Sure, I could buy one separately, but to get one with the purchase was a huge bonus! The only thing I wish was different with the Rebel bag is that I wish it had more Velcro space. I like to add patches and stuff to customize my bag and distinguish it from others. There is sufficient Velcro on the sides of the pockets, but I wish it had some above the pockets on each side as well. Overall, I am super impressed with this bag, more than any other bag I have used. Thanks to Upper Park team member Emily Dale for recommending this bag and thank you Upper Park for making an awesome product!
