Then the tongue gets stuck in the discs and last sleeve. It also leans to the left full. Needs side panel support. As soon as Fossa comes up with a skinny 3.0 I’m going back. I do love scaling down to only necessary discs and it’s the most comfortable bag I’ve worn.

Great review, thank you. I just bought the Ezra Link bag and I found a couple of issues that may not be a big deal to others. My number 1 is the bag does topple over quite a bit with the soft bottom, even tried moving the weight more forward. My number 2 issue is when I pick up the bag to sling it on my shoulder, the chest strap drags and scratches into the inside of my arm. I think I will remove it. Otherwise it is an awesome bag

Yes unfortunately with the many benefits of soft bottoms, the major drawbacks I see are ground stability and moisture. I definitely think the negatives are worth it, but it is annoying to have it topple over. Keep playing with the weight shift and see if you can find that sweet spot. As for chest straps, I never use them and also find them highly annoying on disc golf bags. I remove them as well since they serve no purpose for me. Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your new bag!

Hi first time viewer, great video and breakdown of how you use the bag and likes/dislikes. +1 sub :). I’m in the market for a new bag. Upgrading from a Infinite Huck Pack I’ve had for about 3 years. My use of the top quiver is starting to show its age and it can be a struggle to access discs from there. As someone who has tried many different bags what quiver style do you enjoy using the most? A more open concept like the Link or something more traditional like the Rufus? I love having my most used discs handy near the top and wonder if the similar Rufus style would be a true upgrade. Also how many discs can you fit in if you max out the space? This would probably be my only bag and I like to take a bunch of discs with me for field work sessions. My current limit is about 23 so I was curious if Rufus/Link could handle any more than that or I should look at something like the Legend. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the kind words and sub! As far as which quiver system I like, that's a toss up because I love the ease of the rebel/link type system that faces you and slides in and out. However, the Rufus has the top load when seems more stable, just doesn't hold as much. If I was making an investment in a good bag that would last for a while, it would be the Rufus Deluxe. The quiver system is still super well made, the inside can hold 15ish discs, the side pockets are fantastic, and it's so durable. I love the Upper Park Rebel and Squatch Link, but I think the Rufus is just a slightly superior bag. The ballistics materials are awesome, but even the regular material is top-notch. Let me know what you decide to get and please let me know if you have any other questions, I would love to help.
