My Shift finally gave out on me after years of use and abuse. The strap snapped right on hole 1 of a tournament round, but after all the miles and holes I had carried it I have no room to complain. It will be very difficult to consider choosing another disc golf bag company to replace it as my Upper Park was absolutely perfect for more than 6 years.
The bag is great, but it could be made
from fully waterproof material so it would be waterproof on it's own without the raincover. Also the positioning off the bottle holder pockets makes it hard to put on your back if you have a bottle in it. Otherwise an extremely solid bag and I am so happy to represent Upper Park and use their products on the disc golf course.
This bag has everything. Holds all the discs. Doesn’t fall over. Has space for everything
It’s my 2nd Rebel and I love it! The zipper on my 4 yr old DGPT Rebel got fowled up so it can only be zipped halfway but it’s still going strong. I just wanted one that can be fully zipped when traveling. I bought a Squatch Link to try out until the new batch of Rebels came in. Used it for a couple months and it’s an excellent bag, premium quality, lots of storage, plush shoulder straps and comfortable but, IMO, it falls short of the Rebel in a couple areas:
Weight and overall comfort the Rebel wins.
Stability; the Link was significantly more prone to tipping over when placed on slopes.
When wearing the bag and bending over, discs in the putter pockets would occasionally fall out.
The one minor gripe about the Rebel is the tendency to hit tall water bottles with your elbow when putting on the bag
I've been using the Shift bag. Now that winter is coming I really wanted some extra storage for not only more discs but extra winter gear. This bag feels the same on my back (which is super comfy) and holds the extra stuff. Absolutely love it.
