Club Glove - Travel Bags, Luggage and Accessories

By Blair Howard, About.com Guide

When it comes to traveling, Club Glove Travel Bags, Luggage and Accessories represent the best of the best. Yes, I know, there are more than 100 companies out there, all claiming to be better than their competitors. Now I have to tell you, I don't own any Club Glove gear. I do, however, have a great deal of experience of the product. Most of my peers in the travel industry use Club Glove, and wouldn't even consider using anything else. I've looked the product over, often and extensively, and have never found a thing I didn't like about it. The product are extremely well-made, tough and hard wearing and, best of all, they are practical in every sense of the word. And... they make great gifts, not only for the holidays but for almost any occasion. So why don't I use the product? Well, I already have a whole range of bags and luggage, and it would not be practical, at least for me, to replace it all. Let's take a look at some of the newer Club Glove offerings:

Golf Travel Bags:

If you make your golf equipment purchasing decisions based on what PGA Tour players use, then Club Glove’s Last Bag ($299) is the only golf travel bag to consider. Trusted by more than 90 percent of Tour players, it was recently proclaimed one of the game’s top 10 innovations by Golf World Magazine. Made-in-the-USA with high quality materials, it is incredibly durable and easy to maneuver around crowded airports. If the world’s best players trust the Last Bag to ensure their “tools” arrive safely, you know that you are in good hands.

For the ultimate in club protection, add one of the company’s Stiff Arm Devices ($26.95). This nifty contraption is placed in the middle of your Last Bag and extends slightly longer than the longest club to protect against impact. If the airlines toss your bag around the Stiff Arm will take the brunt of impact, rather than your clubs and shafts.

Luggage:

Everyone needs luggage. For the best gear on the market, there’s no better combination of style and function than the TRS Ballistic collection. The “Rolls Royce” of baggage, its use of U.S. woven 1050d CORDURA® Ballistic nylon fabric makes it the most durable around. The world’s most ideal material for high-end luggage offers double the abrasion resistance and four times the tear resistance of other premium fabrics. You won’t ever again have to worry again about your bags being damaged by those ruthless handlers at the airport.

Beyond durability, the TRS Ballistic features the company’s celebrated Train Reaction System. Allowing travelers to link bags together and self-balance, it drastically reduces the effort needed to pull or push gear by creating a perfect center of gravity and weightless feel. Even a six-year old is able to transport 100 pounds of gear. The TRS Ballistic line consists of a carry-on, check-in and XL check-in bags and is also available as a set. Each incorporates a set of packing modules for perfect compartmentalization of clothing, toiletries, shoes and other items.

Accessories:

Club Glove’s innovative Caddy Towel - the original microfiber golf towel - has quickly become the preferred choice for professionals and recreational golfers. Trusted by more PGA Tour players and their caddies than any other brand, the company’s renowned offering was used by winners of this year’s U.S. Open, TOUR Championship and FedEx Cup, just to name a few.

It stands out from imitators with construction that incorporates more than 5 million yards of microfiber strands, allowing it to hold 300 percent of its weight in water. This industry exclusive technology allows the waffle-textured towel to be strong enough to remove dirt, grease and sunblock from a player’s hands, yet gentle enough to safely clean eyeglasses.

For a limited time, customers who purchase the Caddy Towel ($19.95) receive a free Pocket Towel. A $10 value, it features the same great functionality of its bigger sibling and is perfect for a back pocket or bag pocket. Another great, and inexpensive, gift for the holidays

Club Glove doesn’t make golf clubs, but the company makes sure that they are pampered and ready to go when you need them.
