REVIEWS : Dye Weekender 08


Compare this bag to the previous weekender. New looks, new concept, new charms. When i first saw this bag, i completely fell in love with it. The idea of adding wheels to this baby was really a smart idea especially having people like me who travel a lot. I think its a brilliant bag that can be used daily. With so many pockets and compartments, you can literally drown yourself in it. The design of this bag walks tall with an elegant touch of craftsmanship. With such a sleeky look, i rate it as by far one of the best looking luggage bags ever created by any paintball company.

Pros :
- Elegant and sleeky design
- Very solid "chassis"
- Innovative and loads of pockets + compartments
- Very spacious.

However....*jeng jeng jeng*, i came across a major downturn of such a brilliant looking bag. The quality. Having paid over RM 300 for this bag, i was expecting to get what i paid for especially in terms of quality. Sad enough, the bag ripped itself within 3 months of using it. I came to know, the fabric used to make this bag is really crappy. Its the kind of fabric that will never withstand the weight of your paintball gear. Don't get me wrong. I didn't need to fill this bag to the brim, let alone with any sharp items to see it rip. The quality of this bag is really unquestionably bad and i certainly hope DYE Precision will make an effort to further rectify this problem.

Cons :
- Bad quality
- Again, bad quality
- The frigging price tag!!

Conclusion? Its a very expensive bag that breaks. Common sense tells you whether to buy it or not. Unless you wanna buy this bag as a collectible, forget getting this. It will tear before your eyes and rip a hole in your pocket.
