The ifrothgolf review

A dedicated cart bag from Big Max, the brand that more or less owns the waterproof-trolley-bag corner of the market. It is built to live on a push or electric trolley rather than your shoulder, with a 14-way full-length divided top, nine waterproof pockets, and Big Max's I-Dry construction that seals both the seams and the zips so nothing inside gets wet. There is a combined rain-hood and battery pocket, an insulated cooler, a valuables pocket and a dual umbrella holder.

What's great

The waterproofing is the real deal, not marketing. Sealed seams plus genuinely waterproof zips mean you can leave it out in a downpour and your spare layers and sandwiches stay dry, which is more than you can say for a lot of bags claiming the same. The 14 full-length dividers actually keep your shafts separated instead of tangling, and the pocket count is borderline silly in a good way. It is also impressively light for a cart bag at 2.4kg, balances well on a trolley without sliding around, and the zips run smoothly even when soaked.

Worth knowing

The cooler pocket is fiddly, getting a full bottle in and out is more of a wrestle than it should be. Some of the pockets are so deep that small items vanish to the bottom and need fishing out. And to be clear, this is a cart bag through and through: it is comfortable enough to carry from car to trolley, but it is not designed for walking 18 holes on your back, so do not buy it expecting a stand-bag experience.

The verdict

If you ride a trolley and play in weather that bites, this is one of the safest picks going. It keeps your kit dry, swallows everything you throw at it, and stays light enough to handle. The deep pockets and awkward cooler are minor gripes against how well it does the main job. Comfortably worth the money for trolley golfers.
