| Great case but requires a HUGE car trunk |
I bought this case and loved it. I couldn't have been more pleased with its sturdiness, rolling ease, and quality of construction. My average sized stand bag fit nicely without much effort and there was room enough for shoes and other odd items inside.
HOWEVER, this case is so huge that it is nearly impossible to travel with if you rent a car. Don't be fooled by the length, sure you can fit a 49" driver in any trunk, but this case is 14" in diameter, so it is much larger than the length would lead you to believe. I recently flew to Las Vegas, and the only rental car with a big enough trunk was a Lincoln Continental (believe me I tried every trunk they had and this was the only one big enough). I usually rent an economy or full size car, so upgrading to a luxury car cost me a lot of extra money--I could have spent that money on a new driver! You can always try the back seat, but I needed it for people so that wasn't an option for me, though an economy or compact car will still be too small.
So, I have sold it and plan to buy a Club Glove Burst Proof travel bag which I have used before with good results. At least with a soft sided travel bag you can remove the clubs and fold up the bag to fit it all in any trunk or hatchback.
It's a great case, just be aware that it is not easy to travel with, you need a gigantic trunk. |

| My clubs made it there - in perfect condition!!! |
I bought this case with the advise from a friend, I couldn't have made a better decision. This case not only protected my clubs but made the hassle at the airport minimal. I love that there is an unconditional lifetime warranty on this product, plus it's made in America! Thanks SKB for making a great trip with no hiccups.... i will be looking to buy a few rifle cases for next years hunt in Alaska. |
