With the greatest of respect to the myriad of golf brands that develop the best cart bags in the world, it’s hard to get particularly excited when a new one comes to market. With a 14-way divider, loads of pockets and plenty of other storage features, it certainly feels like the cart bag has been done over and over again.
That was until the new Big Max Aqua IPX Tour found its way onto my doorstep a few months ago. This bag can proudly make the claim that it is the world’s first non-stitched, welded golf bag.

So, you can fill this pocket up with ice, and hide the cans of your beverage of choice within it, and keep them perfectly chilled for the entirety of your round. Once you’re done, you can open the spout at the bottom of the bag and let the melted ice out.
The XL putter well is really, well, large.
