Berg’s Disc Sports Manta Bag initial impressions.

It’s 2024 and I am now representing Team Berg’s alongside Team AGL Discs. In this video I take a look at my new Berg’s Bags Manta. The Manta is a sustainably sourced day pack style disc golf backpack made from 15 reclaimed plastic water bottles worth of 900D rPET fabric.

Hello just uh checking in I made my announcement earlier this year that I’m continuing my team AGL Journey um and as far as I’m concerned that’s never going to end um Team AGL for Life uh and that’s because I love the brand I believe in its uh Mission and uh love

Being part of that family the AGL disc family so with that said I also announced that this year I am representing team Bergs bags as well well team Bergs dis Sports um my bag I’m not going to do it in the bag because I’m not that level player but my

Bag is 100% AGL discs um this is an AGL disc Yellowstone this is agl’s Tour series bag that I’ve been using for a little over a year now it’s a great bag fullsize tour bag um but with representing Bergs um the way that came about was uh Josh at AGL is preparing

For the next version version of this bag and he got um a couple of different prototypes made and one of them was from Bergs bags and I got to get my hands on those prototypes and that that Bergs one really stood out to me I I I thought it it seemed such high

Quality that he really listened to some of the um improvements we were hoping have over the Yellowstone V1 we’ll call it um so I’m excited about the possibility of there being that collaboration between the two companies that also made me take a closer look at

Bergs and I see sort of the same um community and family with the Bergs group that I saw with AGL immedately fell in love and so I I sought them out this year to uh help represent them the way I the way I do AGL dis I like to

Find a company I believe in and uh promote them and help share their message with uh all of you people so um with that said I’ve got my Yellowstone this is what I take when I’m doing some real serious you know full day disc golfing but uh I decided that for my

Bergs bag I was going to get a Bergs Manta you can tell this is their lightweight smaller pack um and in line with my AGL uh the AGL ideal the above ground level look at the sport this Manta bag fits that to a tee because this bag is made from

Recycled water bottles so I think there’s like 15 of them uh in the the fabric to make this uh to make this bag this bag is made from 900d rpet which is recycled um Fabric or like a recycled polyester nylon basically it’s got a really nice feel it’s sort of matte it’s

Hard to tell on here but it kind of feels close to like a canvas bag um really great feel it’s going to wear really well I can tell and take um you know getting dirty and not not look bad so I’m happy about that uh some of the

Other features on this bag besides the sustainability of its design um and that that r pet fabric is uh it’s got waterproof I’m sorry not waterproof can’t say waterproof unless something’s 100% these look like they’re going to be 100% though zippers water resistant zippers look at that there’s no space

Between those teeth and that’s all of the zippers and I’ll show those all off when I show you all the pockets on this thing but of course you’ve got a putter pocket cavernous one on this you’ve got your main disc compartment again with those water resistant zippers you’ve got a mesh pouch

Here right below that is a big outer pocket on one side the other side is a nice and big this will hold a huge analy I don’t usually take anything that big especially if I’m using my little day pack but what I do carry all the time is one of

These metal water bottles got lots of stickers on there uh including an AGL Philip forward campaign sticker grab one of those next time you’re making a purchase and start tracking your water bottle reuse so yeah plenty big for my water bottle it’s got a retention strap over here another smaller pocket here which

Is where I keep my wallet I’ve already got it in there to show that when I’m playing it’s just so I know it’s safe and it’s on me and it’s not going to fly out when I make a make a throw and lose it and then there’s also this kind of

Hidden one on the back you might not even notice that at first but there is a zipper here this is another one of those water resistant zippers and there is a nice big hidden Pocket on the side there if I wasn’t using my phone to record I’d

Show you that you get a big phone in there because I do have a I have a giant phone I don’t know why I bought get my phone to go in there you can put stuff that you’re not going to need during the round or maybe a towel put that in there no

Problem so what I wanted to do real quick is show Even though this is a smaller softer you know it’s not the structured bag like a um like a tors full sore series bag like this Yellowstone it does hold its shape I’m just holding it off the bottom with

One hand and it’s holding that shape really well and kind of show off how much you can get into this thing so Main Pock ET I’m just going to grab discs out of my Yellowstone start with my throwing Putters and approach discs my mids and

Fairways I don’t carry a ton of discs um and then my drivers My Money Trees Locust and Redwood and that’s empty that’s not full even I I could still fit probably two or three drivers in there maybe even like three or four or maybe a couple more and that’s

With the baab those things take up a lot of space so that’s with a bail bab and a big deep putter like The Acacia there so lots of space in the main compartment I’ll grab my bail bab uh my Woodland Acacia and my two ponderosas that I

Putut with and they’ll all go in to that putter pocket no problem there’s even still space there they come out in and out really easy and that’s everything for my putter pocket on my big bag grab my mini I’ll throw it in there so it’s easy to get

To um and then probably in this pocket I would keep let’s say a towel so let me grab a towel grab my B up challenge towel and I’ll put that in there and then my de la dirt sack from AGL disc this is chalk bag with dirt

From Del via mixed in for good luck and my grip wax cookie from custom wheels disc in Sweden this thing is awesome I got this from uh burgs as well burgs is a partner with them so there’s my grip wax cookie so I’ve got my chalk and my grip wax keep

That nice and clean and dry and that pocket as well let’s close that up got chalk everywhere all right um and then oh I guess I should put my water bottle in the drink holder and it’s 20 big for that water bottle and because of that I can use this retention

Strap and also throw my retriever in there cuz when you have game like me you always need your r Retriever and then use that strap just like on the Yellowstone to hold that in place even like wrap it around I think maybe I’ll do that yeah that

Works all right so there you go oh and then there’s also these really nice steerings so you can clip on your accessories some birdie beads and you know if you had uh bag tags you clip them on there and just like the Yellowstone you personalize the yellow

Stone with this patch paddle right well just like the Yellowstone the birds also has an awesome patch panel stick my little name tape and my team AGL discs on there now I’ve got Bergs and AGL all the same everything’s in there these padded straps are so thick and

Plush that’s what the new Yellowstone prototype it had that everything was plushed it was padded down here really excited for for that thing hopefully coming soon um good straps it’s just a great smaller pack for those quicker round smaller courses um you know afternoon kind of disc golf as

Opposed to a full day thing where I would want my I want to take everything in the kitchen sink right that’s this and this has the hard rails and everything but this Manta man for being uh sustainable you can feel good about it product it feels so well constructed

The stitching looks amazing those water resistant zippers are going to be great especially right now during the winter and spring coming up and then just yeah basically take your whole tour series bags uh contents in a smaller form factor that can just sit in your trunk really awesome I’m so proud to represent

Bergs and AGL this year uh looking forward to promoting them and sharing their uh new products as they come out the V4 is on pre-order right now might be wrapped up by the time I get this out but you can still get in on the V4

Through Bergs dis Sports um and that is their full big Tour series bags similar to the Yellowstone um and they still have a few of the v3s which is gigantic tour bag I think the V4 they wanted to bring it down a little bit but if you

Want a huge like you can take days worth of stuff in the V3 and still have room um you can get those but then I’d also highly recommend everyone get a manta this awesome made from recycled materials you can feel good about it know you’re doing something responsible
