Stand bag recommendations

I narrowed it down to 2 bags: Titleist Stadry 5 and Ogio All Elements, both £250. Slightly preferred the Titleist, but then found a couple of websites selling the Ogio for £200 so pulled the trigger.

Some snazzy colour options and I went for tropical punch

I went the titleist stadry 5 route, there very good , but because the weather has been so good its spent more time on my trolley than my back.
Im amazed that bag makers dont make the base of stand bags a bit more trolley user friendly, especially for motocaddy and powakaddy which must have huge market share.
 
This wouldn’t have met your requirements anyway as the pockets can be a little tight for what you need and it’s also not a recommendation anyway 🤣

I would avoid the Cobra Pro Ultradry. It does keep your stuff dry and it looks a really nice bag. But there’s two maybe 3 major flaws. It has a 5 way at the top which suited my fine. But it only has two dividers and they’re a bit crap. Taking clubs in and out of the bag always requires some shimmying! Second, the top handle can dig into your back when carrying it. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t and I can’t work out why! Also the straps aren’t that comfortable.

There were literally no reviews on the web about it, except from Golf Monthly who gave it 4.2 stars or something like that. Not sure why the reviewer didn’t pick up on those things. I also found it for £130 brand new - retails for £180-200. so took a gamble. I don’t hate the bag. It looks great and I’m kinda used to it now. But I wouldn’t recommend it based on the divider and handle issue.
