OGIO golf bags are best known for their innovative and bold designs, which definitely make a statement on the golf course, and I would say that many of the patterns will appeal to female golfers. I prefer a golf bag that is fairly understated, so I was pleased to be able to test Ogio’s All Elements Silencer cart bag in a subtle blue floral abstract print to see how it compared with the best women's golf bags on the market.
The bag features OGIO’s patented club WOODE silencer protection system. I hadn’t seen a 14-way divider top like this before so it initially looked odd, but my clubs had never been better protected in a golf bag. There's an extra large well for your putter. As you slide the club through the plastic material, it clicks into the bottom of the bag thanks to a moulded base. It’s really clever because clubs can’t move, there’s no getting hidden underneath each other, plus there’s no noise as you walk along, hence the name Silencer.
It’s a very solid and substantial looking bag, especailly if you're used to using a stand bag. For example, it’s larger than Ping’s G Le3 cart bag, although it feels a similar weight. I expected to see a selection of pockets and this bag has six including two large apparel pockets, velour-lined valuables pocket and insulated cooler pocket with a double zip, but it was the additional features and detail that impressed me most.
I really like the zip pullers that provide easy access to all the pockets, it has handy lock-down straps for your trolley, and while I would never use the shoulder strap to carry this bag, other than to and from the car, it’s smart how the strap can be neatly tucked away into a pocket at the back of the bag.
The waterproof fabric, piping and overall styling oozes quality, it looks as though it will last a lifetime. The pattern and colorway suited me perfectly, which I would describe as lighter than navy with black abstract flowers and complemented by the zips in an even lighter shade of blue. I don’t like a lot of logos on golf bags or anything else, so I could cope with just one ‘OGIO’ in white on one apparel pocket and a much smaller ‘OGIO’ on the top pocket at the front of the bag.
I was able to secure this bag nicely onto my trolley, and I did appreciate being able to clearly see each club in the bag and without them jangling around! OGIO stands for Our Gear Is Organized - well this bag certainly lives up to the brand name. It combines function and style beautifully and so it should priced at just under $300, but it does come with a good warranty, so worth considering if you're in the market for a well-sized cart bag.
