I love that I can see all my options and don't need to go digging around in the bag to find discs. Plus it is the most comfortable bag that I have owned ~Bradford L. read more
Comfort – Durability - Capacity
Time Tested Original Designs -Upper Park Disc Golf started in 2011. We launched the Shift in 2012 and have made regular updates and improvements based on customer feedback and our focus on constant innovation, ensuring it remains one of the best disc golf bags on the market. The current Shift is rebuilt from the ground up with improved materials, stitching, and an even stronger frame.
Brilliant Design: When it comes to sheer design, we don't compromise on anything. The Shift is our lightweight and versatile disc golf bag, loved by disc golf players and hiking enthusiasts alike because of its all-day comfort. A large water bottle pocket is front and center for even weight distribution, along with zipper accessory storage, interior sidewall pockets, detachable Velcro compartments, deeper pockets for mini discs or phone holder. A fold-down base insert is easy to install. A ventilated back panel keeps you cool on hot days. Durable, long length shoulder straps made to fit larger humans.
Modern, Lightweight Materials: Instead of outdated materials like Cordura, The Shift is made of modern materials including polyester, nylon, and Tarpaulin, that not only improve weight but also durability, color retention and tear resistance. Combined with a unique production design, this creates the best bags for all of your performance needs.
Dimensions: 18+ disc capacity with a large center compartment, vertical disc pockets and side mesh disc pockets, Mini disc/ phone holder in top center compartment near carry handle Velcro area on the front water bottle pocket is made for patches and each Shift includes one Upper Park Disc Golf patch (a $7.99 value)

Versatility: There is no correct layout for the Shift - every pocket can hold discs and every pocket can hold your stuff. The side elastic pockets can hold drivers, midranges, or putters, depending on your preference. The inside of this disc golf backpack has removable Velcro compartments where you can effortlessly separate your gear and change the size on either side, or remove them completely for extra room to groove.

Two New Colors
Eclipse - ⚫ You’ve asked for an all black colorway for years. So here it is! It’s not two-tone, it’s not dark grey. It’s black hole black. It’s no-light-pollution black. It’s blacker than black (for you Spinal Tap fans). It’s all black! Did you know that legend speaks of ancient times when an eclipse was believed to be a portal to realms beyond our own, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur? Where the air tingles with a mystical energy, and for a brief moment, the world is bathed in the colors of dreams and wonder? Well, my friend, prepare yourself for all the tingling and mystical energy you can handle when you rock this bag on the disc golf course! *Tingling and mystical energy may vary.
Arctic Gray - 🐻❄️ A new color since our origins in 2011! Arctic gray conjures the enchanting beauty of a wintery, northern realm. It is a silvery gray imbued with the ethereal whispers of frost, reminiscent of moonlight dancing on ancient, crystalline glaciers. In addition to its otherworldly charm, Arctic gray offers a refreshing coolness, akin to a gentle Arctic breeze, providing a soothing respite on the hottest of days. It is both serene and otherworldly, evoking a sense of timeless elegance and otherworldly wonder.
*Did you know you can personalize your bag for a better fit? The back panel support is made from aluminum and can be adjusted to suit your body. To do this carefully, place a knee on the back panel directly above the lower back padding, and gently bend the entire panel toward you, which will help the bag conform to your back more comfortably. Be sure to apply gradual pressure to avoid over-bending.
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 next greatest shift
UPD is quality from the moment you feel the bag in your hand, it's instant. This shift is improving on the last and is so versatile and ergonomically designed that it can be used for each and every round. Also the UPD customer support is amongst the best if my review doesn't suit you. Couldn't be happier with the company and product

Great bag
I got this bag because I was looking for something smaller and more comfortable for tournament play. This bag is light, comfortable, and has great disc capacity. There is plenty of room for accessories, snacks, and water. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Favorite bag so far
This is so far my favorite disc golf bag. I have several other bags that are more expensive and much less functional. Hard to get discs in/out, slightly uncomfortable.
Upper Park bag is great quality. Materials and stitching appear to be sturdy and should last many years of use. The bag is extremely comfortable and discs are very easy to remove from the bag. Disc layout is awesome and makes it easy to check if they’re all there. Storage is great and allows for a 32 oz bottle to fit easily in the holder. Bag includes the rain fly so that’s a great value.
Overall it’s my favorite bag and makes carrying 15 discs very easy with no back strain. I have not had any issues with it falling over on a lightly hilly course. Just point the bottle holder uphill. Highly recommended.

Great
Well designed, with room for everything I need but not bulky

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.
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.
