Protect Your Equipment With Ogio Golf Travel Bags

There are two Major Ogio Golf Travel Bags: the Straight Jacket and its big brother, the Monster. I’ve heard it said that some of these travel bags are a bit on the expensive side, but the Straight Jacket can be purchased for less than $100 if you search the internet. The Monster is about $100 more, but are you aware of the value of the equipment you carry around in a golf bag?

It’s a lot even for a beginner, but if you are a reasonable player you could be carrying over $3000 worth of equipment. I know – you are like me and think that nothing will happen, but have you seen some of these airport baggage handlers at work? Especially in high season when the planes are full.

A travel bag is essential if you fly, and if you drive just think where you store your clubs. That’s right – in the trunk! And guess what part of your car is most likely statistically to be hit in an accident? Right again! The trunk! Still think you don’t need a travel bag?

The Ogio Straight Jacket

Features Of The Straight Jacket Travel Bag

The Ogio Straight Jacket offers enough room to fit a tour bag. It will also carry a cart bag and any stand or carry bag. I suggest Ogio to you because they are a good outfit, and I wouldn’t like to recommend anything I wouldn’t trust. The top part of the bag is well padded to protect your club heads and there are sufficient straps to secure your golf bag into the travel bag.

The plastic frame provides extra protection and the wheels are soft to absorb impact. If you need a travel bag for occasional travel and you don’t want to pay too much for it, then I suggest you give the Ogio Straight Jacket a try.

The Ogio Monster – Preferred for Greater Protection

If you want something a bit more robust then you can’t go wrong with the Ogio Monster travel bag. This is big enough for two golf bags, or one plus all your clothes and other travel needs. OK, it costs a bit more, about $100 more, but you might find a good deal on the internet or your local golf shop.

I like it because it has a hard bottom and really tough back that Ogio call the ‘sled’. You will find that the sled not only gives a lot of protection to your golf clubs, but that it’s two large wheels makes it easy to pull round the airport, train station or subway.

Another thing I like about it, and I am sure you will too, is that if you are traveling yourself for a weekend golf trip, you won’t need any more luggage. That’s right! No suitcase – all you need will fit into the Ogio Monster travel bag. I just came across this golf travel bag and was so impressed with it that next time I need to buy some luggage, I might just buy one of these. Who needs a suitcase!

I could find nothing wrong with the Monster. If you fill it up completely, it can be a bit heavy to lift into the trunk. Other than that, perfect! Expensive? Perhaps. How much are your golf clubs worth to you?
