Big Max is a brand that produces some of the best golf bags on the market, with one of their newest iterations being the Big Max Aqua Tour 4 Cart Bag, a model that features in various colorways to suit various styles.
Firstly, though, we start with the storage of the Aqua Tour 4, which offers a vast amount of space and complete protection from the rain, however heavy. Looking at the pockets, which total 11 in all, we find two full-length pockets for clothing, as well as valuables pouches, an integrated cool bag for drinks and snacks with space for two bottles, and ample room elsewhere for any other accessories you need to get you round the course.
What's more, it also includes an integrated battery and rain protection bag, meaning you can stow your battery close to your electric trolley. There’s also a glove and towel holder and two umbrella holders.
The brand’s Aqua range has set the standard when it comes to rain protection, with it ranking amongst the best waterproof golf bags money can buy. In regards to the Aqua Tour 4, it is no exception as it is 100% waterproof, with seam sealed and taped zippers on the pockets to make sure your valuables remain perfectly dry.
It manages this by using an Advanced Nano Hydrophobic coating, which is said to repel the water, meaning individual drops bead up and slide straight off. I tested the bag in pretty heavy rain and my valuables remained completely dry, which was reassuring.
Away from the pockets, the 14-way divider is more spacious than bags which offer a similar top, meaning no problems with clubs snagging on their way in or out. It also offers a separate extra large putter compartment for even more space. The two integrated handles on the top help with transportation and getting the bag on and off a trolley.
When it comes to width, the Aqua Tour 4 is slimmer than its predecessor and the strap position is easily adjustable. It also weighs in at 2.7 kg which, considering how much room and protection is on offer, is not bad at all in the lightweight golf bag category.
Finally, it naturally comes with a rainhood and the padded shoulder strap is comfortable for anyone carrying, even when the bag is fully loaded. It effortlessly straps on to any cart, whatever the brand.
