Although I was a little mis-led by the images of this item, which make the bag seem a little more sturdy than it is, I'm still pleased with the purchase.

The zippers, handles, roller-wheels all seem to be made of sturdy materials, and I've used the bag a couple times with good results. It's relatively easy to wheel this through the airport. However, the tiny padlocks that come with the bag are unimpressive -- I can't imagine they truly protect much of anything -- I definitely recommend replacing them with a TSA-approved Master Lock luggage lock.

The top of the bag sort of loses its shape and "hangs" on your club heads a little more than the accompanying pictures would lead you to believe. An uninformed 1st time buyer of a soft case, I actually thought the rounded top of the case was a little more firm, included padding, and would protect clubs from being smushed in an airplane cargo space. Instead the top, like much of the bag is simply a very firm, durable fabric, sort of like a stiffened duffel bag. Padding throughout the bag is really pretty minimal, but is adequate.

I wrapped my club heads with socks to prevent scratches during transport, and I also affixed the rain guard over-top my regular golf bag to help keep the clubs in place. Just like that, I loaded my golf bag in here and felt pretty secure about sending it all on a plane.

Also worth noting that this bag fit a full set of clubs with an oversized Taylormade r7 460 with ease.

Now, my clubs are probably only $500-600 in total value, so if you're travelling with a top-end set I'd probably recommend a firm case. Or, at least a complementing club "spacer" that extends like a small umbrella to the top of the bag and keeps it in shape, helping to preventing the club heads from being bent or mashed while in stow.

But, for the price, this bag is totally worth it. You can hardly rent a decent set of clubs for the same price as this item, and it gives you the much more desirable option of playing with your own clubs while traveling.

I purchased this product for recent golf trip. To my dismay, the bag ripped when simply carrying it by the supplied shoulder strap from the house to the car on the way to the airport.

My brother in law had suggested another brand name bag for the same price which he had used for years but I opted for this bag just because I trusted the website.

If you are in the market for a golf travel bag, I would consider other products before this one due to the thin/weak material used in it's construction.

This worked great -- very high quality for the price. The wheels made it very easy to transport through the airport. We packed the club heads in bubble wrap just in case, and they survived the plane ride nicely.

I purchased this bag for a quick golf trip. I don't travel much with my clubs, so just needed something to add a some protection. This bag made a full round trip from California to Arizona with no problems.

I'm impressed with the construction of this bag -- handles/straps/seams are well stitched and strong, padding at the top extends down far enough to protect your club heads, the main zipper is heavy duty and accommodates a lock, the bottom protection is solid, and the wheels are smooth rolling and sturdy.

This is a soft bag and will not protect your clubs if they are dropped in an upright orientation with the club heads facing down (upside-down). I saw some (pricey) stabilizers on the market, but made my own by inserting a cut-off wood closet rod with a tennis ball top in the bag with my clubs. This also added a little stability to the bag when tilted for rolling.

I have only minor complaints -- the bag is a little large for my stand bag (perhaps its better suited for a cart bag), and the bag could use more cinch straps (only one is included, which wraps around the shafts of your clubs).

Overall, I am extremely impressed with the quality of this bag for the price ($38), and would recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-while travel bag.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much for the price but this soft cover gets a passing grade. It arrives folded into a ridiculously small package, so small I was worried I received the wrong item. On the plus side the wheels roll well, and the bag covered my Ogio Schling bag with Taylormade R7 driver no problem. There is an adjustable strap about 18 inches from the top of the bag (below the intech logo) that will kind of hold your bag in place inside the cover, but not completely. The shoe pocket is very roomy, so much so I fit a pair of shoes and a college hard cover textbook in it. Also this cover adds almost no weight to your bag so coming in under airline weight allowances is easy.

On the downside, the included lock and shoulder strap are useless (both woefully weak and flimsy), but I plan on using my own TSA approved lock and wheeling the case around so no biggie. There is no hard reinforcement to this bag anywhere save for a small section on the back-bottom where the wheels attach. Padding only exists in the top portion of the bag where your club heads would be, but its not much.

Overall you're getting what you pay for, but you are getting something and not just throwing money away.

I like the bag, it travels well, and having the wheels is key.

It's enormous, however. My clubs don't take up half the bag. There's no way to secure my golf bag inside, and they do rattle around. Wish travel bags came in alternate sizes, or with interior straps to secure the contents.

You cant beat this deal. It is a great travel bag and is much more sturdy than i would have thought.

I highly recommend this product.

I purchased this bag to help me through airports with my clubs intact. I have a smaller size bag and I didn't want a big fancy thing. This bag is just what I wanted. It holds tons of stuff besides clubs and is easy to handle. I recommend this product for anyone. Well made pretty durable. I expect to be using it for many trips.

To be honest, when I opened the package I had my doubts this cover would protect my clubs. I was so wrong! It holds so much and went through the airlines handling without any problems. I highly recommend it - you won't be disappointed!

I got this at a better price than it is currently selling for, but even at (the current) $50, this is a bargain.

Your own golf bag provides most of the support. Put the bag in the traveler and it becomes just another piece of luggage. The wheels work great and the handles are in the right spot to make it convenient. There is an outer pocket that is just the right size for shoes or other accessories.

I had two problems, but they were minor: A sharp hook on my golf back wore a hole in the traveler on the outbound flight. It was small and stayed that way. On the return flight, I covered the hook with a golf towel and no further problem. On the return trip, they also managed to crush part of my golf bag, but the clubs were not damaged. The golf bag was pretty easy to pop back into place and I was set.

The travel bag can lay flat when it is empty, so I just left it in the back of the rental car during our trip. If it is in the way there, you could easily fold it up and it would not take up much space in the trunk or the hotel room.

Now if I could just get the golf balls to be this cooperative when I hit them...
