While some may think cart bags are much of a muchness, there is still plenty of design effort and differentiation on the market to make finding the best cart bag for you a tough task.

In truth, most people will only buy a PowaKaddy cart bag if they also buy a PowaKaddy golf trolley to match, but I think the brand's new Dri Tech should be considered by anyone looking to replace a cart bag who doesn't own a Motocaddy or Stewart.

I say this because it's one of the best waterproof cart bags I've tested. It's incredibly lightweight for a cart bag at 2.3kg, and the waterproof materials are up there with the very best. I would always recommend golfers
(especially in the UK) opting for a fully waterproof bag, as it keeps you covered all year round and in all weather situations. Those who use cart bags often carry a lot with them on the golf course, so it's best to keep that all safe in any weather conditions.

There's also plenty of space in the bag's nine pockets. It has two full-length apparel pockets (which I always see as a minimum for cart bags) as well as a velour-lined valuables pocket and a dedicated insulated cooler pocket, to name a few more. What's more, the 14-way divider at the top of the bag is spacious, and I experienced no club crowding with a full set. There's also a dedicated putter well that can accommodate even the largest of putter grips, which is a nice touch.

Mag-Lok offers a superb integration if you have a PowaKaddy trolley

A new feature across all PowaKaddy cart bags is Mag-Lok. This technology utilises a magnet on the bottom of any new PowaKaddy trolley to securely lock the base of the bag into the base of the trolley without the need for a bottom bungee strap

If you have a PowaKaddy trolley, I see no reason whatsoever not to also invest in a PowaKaddy bag that allows you to benefit from this new technology - it makes day-to-day use of the bag and trolley easier, and it looks much more cohesive too.

Overall, this is a superb cart bag. Lightweight, fully waterproof and with plenty of space, those with a PowaKaddy trolley simply have to invest in a corresponding bag and those who use any other electric or push trolley should seriously consider this as an option.
