One of the best travel bags around
September 28, 2018
I am a frequent air traveler, and have been using two of these bags for at least 10 transatlantic flights (each bag), always packed to the maximum airline allowance (50 lbs + x).
The bag is large enough to hold a staff bag with full lenght driver. The hard shell base protects the bag, and stabilizes the travel bag perfectly; it even stands upright when fully loaded! The base for the swiveling handle is made of very stable plastic that ensures that driver / wood heads and shafts are perfectly protected.
Bags with comparable protection are heavy, not this one. At about 9 lbs it is one of the lightest I have ever owned.
Another benefit is that it collapses to less than one third of the max. size when not in use, and two bags packed together need little more space than one.
The wheels run very smoothly on every surface, even when the bag is fully loaded.
Even after 10+ transatlantic trips at full weight / space capacity zippers and handles work like on day 1, only thing fading is the material at the front low end. As these small holes are just cosmetic, I am sure the bag will withstand another 5 to 10 of my typical trips.
In total this bag is one of the best I have ever had (and that were quite a few). I therefore purchased a third of these to be prepared if one should die.
Pros
- Good protection for clubs
- low weight
- perfect roll and handles
- long lasting
Cons
- The lower front section of the bag should be enforced
