Ogio...21st Century bags

Ogio Golf have yet to fail in the “good looking bag” category and this season is no different.

If you want a bag that does everything, looks snazzy and is state of the art in technology and practicality on the course, Ogio have the answer for you with their range of bags for the 2001 season.

The Stinger SKV from Ogio

Forget the classic conservative fake plastic leather look and focus on a style that is more ‘snow-boarder’ than ‘boardroom’!

Launched at GolfExpo in November, the new Stinger SKV cart bag from Ogio is perfect for those of you who prefer to pull a trolley. And I can pretty much guarantee that you will be noticed around the club with this exciting addition to the bag market.

Ogio make bags for several companies under license, but their own bags seem to have that edge as they obviously saved the best for themselves.

The Stinger SKV not only looks out of this world, but it has every practicality too with a vast amount of space for just about everything you might want to take on the course.

Constructed out of foam backed Gatorlink Nylon material, the UV resistant (Which stops it from fading in sunlight) Stinger SKV is available in combinations of Royal blue/Black, Red/Black, Yellow/Black and Graphite/Black.

To achieve maximum ease of use, The Stinger’s eight compartment reverse top is forged to mount irons in the front and woods in the back, and offers two elevated sleeves for effortless putter and wedge accessibility.

Each section is armed with protective, full-length divider systems that keeps clubs in their own pockets. And there are eleven individual pockets, some of which boast an additional pocket inside, have been added with meticulous attention to detail and operation.

The self-righted Test Tube ball sleeve dispenser, activated by squeezing the base, is top loaded to deliver balls one at a time. Twin mesh side pockets will hold water bottles, whilst two zippered drop-in pockets offer spacious storage for tees, gloves, keys and other oddities you always tend to carry on the course (mobile phones per chance!).

And to make sure you can play in the worst of weather, the Stinger SKV offers an oversize umbrella sleeve, two oversize side vented pockets to store water proofs and wind shirts.

The Stinger SKV sells for £169.95 and is available right now.

Also for those of you who like to carry a bag, Ogio have a vast selection of stand bags for this season, including the all new Ozone bag.

The Ozone is Built from UV resistant see-thru tarpaulin and nylon twill and weighs in at only 5.75Lbs.

There is a 5-way club divider with an additional putter pit and thanks to a new and patented shaft divider system, your clubs will go in and out of the bag with ease, unlike many other stand bags.

The stand itself is of high quality and works effortlessly and to top it all off, the double shoulder strap is comfortable and easy to get the clubs on and off your back.

In fact, I liked the Ogio Ozone carry bag so much, I went and bought one for myself!
