Motocaddy Flightsafe Travel Cover Review
Motocaddy is well known for making some of the best electric golf trolleys and, more recently, golf bags, accessories and even laser rangefinders in the Pro 3000. This year, the British brand has come to market with the Flightsafe travel cover that it claims to ‘provide unrivalled protection’ for your clubs as they make their way through the hustle and bustle of an airport.
The best aspect of this bag is the size. Motocaddy has resisted the temptation to make it too big. In my experience it is very easy to make a golf club travel bag too big and as a result, very cumbersome. This one is certainly big enough to carry everything you need for a golf holiday, including a large golf stand bag, some golf shoes and apparel, but it is light and fairly compact. Combine that with the clever six-wheel design on the base, and manoeuvring this one around the airport was very simple.
The Flightsafe cover is made of an extra padded black nylon and features a reinforced club cover, so your clubs and bag should arrive unscathed. There is a fairly large external pocket at the bottom of the bag that is big enough to store a few extra or shoes. In addition, there are both internal and external straps that do a good job of holding your clubs tightly to the bag.
The extra storage bag that comes with this case is an interesting extra. I can see that, for those with minimal storage space at home, this would be extremely helpful. It is designed so that the cover itself folds down into a small cube shape to fit into the small black case you can see in the image above. This makes a big difference to the amount of space you need to store it. The convenient storage box that comes with the case also doubles up as the extra hood cover when travelling for an additional layer of protection for exposed clubheads.
There’s no doubt you’ll find more eye-catching flight bags on the market. However, this has a simple, understated but premium look that I liked. When you combine that with the sturdy feel of the bag, this is an excellent option for any travelling golfer and so is worth its place in our 2023 Editor's Choice. The Motocaddy Flightsafe comes to retail at £199, a price we think is worth paying to make sure your clubs arrive safely, providing the airline doesn't lose it altogether.
