OVERALL:> I really like this golf bag and for the value (on sale), I cannot complain. It's a golf bag that looks sharp!> So far, it has met my expectations, and forced me to simplify what I carry too which I think is an unspoken benefit. > I would say that OGIO is trying to make something that competes with Vessel. I've never owned a Vessel before, but have seen them in stores and out in the field - they are nice bags. If you really want certain features, like with the straps or a nicer liner, then go with Vessel.CONSTRUCTION: I have not compared in person or measured myself, I have only seen the stated dimensions, but the OGIO bag is bigger (allegedly). This bag feels solid, but don't plan on carrying more than 13/14 clubs. That's pushing it... Also, when I got it, there were many small loose threads. I did not like that. Felt like it could be a quality control issue, but I hid the threads and what not, so not really concerned. More of an observation.STRAPS: I don't carry my clubs and haven't played with the straps to add the second strap. So I cannot comment on this, as I read some complaints about this online. If you switch this out a lot, then go with something like a Vessel bag, IMHO.CLOSING / ZIPPERS: One review I saw online that I disagree with is that the zippers are not great. That person was either joking, insanely weak, or just plain dumb. The zippers are solid! All the other pockets are solid too. I used to carry my golf shoes in my old Callaway bag, but I got a separate bag for those. I don't think the apparel pocket is good for that, especially if you have big feet (size 14) like me.After some more time, I'll come back with updates... Especially if my experience is bad.
