Westside Discs Empire Backpack
The Westside Discs Empire Backpack is a premium “big bag” built for tournament rounds, long courses, and players who refuse to leave gear behind. It sets out to do three things well: keep your discs organized, keep your accessories easy to grab, and keep the load comfortable when the bag is fully packed.
If you’ve been searching for a premium disc golf backpack with true storage, the Empire is made for you. It carries a full lineup of drivers, mids, and putters while still leaving room for towels, snacks, layers, and the little essentials that turn a long round into a smooth one.
Stability matters when you set your bag down on uneven tee pads, muddy fairways, or rocky greens. The Empire uses a water-resistant bottom and five tall plastic feet to help the bag stay upright. That means fewer tip-overs and fewer “everything spills out” moments during a round.
Organization is where the Empire separates itself. You get two quick-access slots for the discs you throw most, plus a dedicated top area for putters. On the sides, you get large storage zones that can handle extra gear, plus smaller pockets for phones, keys, and wallets. It’s designed to keep your important items secure and your frequently used items easy to reach.
Hydration is not an afterthought here. The Empire includes two extra-tall bottle holders that are slightly insulated to help keep drinks cold. Many players also use the larger side storage areas for additional bottles on hot days, or for items like a rangefinder, hand warmers, or rain gear.
Comfort is what makes a big bag usable. The Empire features high-quality padding in the shoulder straps and added padding on the back panel. That extra support helps when you load the bag with discs, water, and accessories for long tournament rounds.
Specs: Holds up to 24 distance drivers. Bag weight: 5 lb 13 oz. Dimensions: 20" tall, 9.5" deep, 14.5" wide (21" wide including water bottle holders). Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. Discs and water bottle are not included.

FAQs
How many discs does the Westside Discs Empire Backpack hold?
Westside lists the Empire at up to 24 distance drivers. Your real capacity depends on how many putters you store up top and how tightly you pack your main compartment.
Does the Empire have dedicated putter storage?
Yes. It includes a top putter pouch in a zipper-secured pocket next to the handle, plus two quick-access slots for the discs you reach for the most.
Does the Empire Backpack stay upright on wet ground?
It’s designed for that. The water-resistant bottom and five tall feet help keep it stable and off the ground, which helps reduce tipping and moisture soak.
Does it really have two bottle holders, and are they insulated?
Yes. The Empire includes two extra-tall bottle holders, and Westside notes they are slightly insulated to help keep drinks cold and secure.
Empire vs Noble: which one should I choose?
Choose the Empire if you want maximum storage and a “tournament big bag” layout. Choose the Noble if you want premium quality with a slightly different pocket layout or a different size/feel preference. Both are built for players who carry a full setup.
