Ogio unveils its Cougar golf bag for women, and three old favorites

- PGA.com

BLUFFDALE, Utah -- Read into it what you will, but OGIO's newest golf bag is not named to get attention; it is styled to command it. The new OGIO Cougar is a confident bag designed just for women, demonstrating a seasoned appreciation for the sport.

The Cougar cart bag (MSRP: $160) weighs in at only 6.6 lbs., yet is loaded with features. A proprietary 10-inch Uniter top, made popular for its intelligent 15-club organization, tops off individual full-length club dividers. The company's patented Ball Silo delivers golf balls through its side-mounted rail system, while six additional pockets protect gear including cell phones, rain suits and other valuables.

"We've been designing gear bags for more than 20 years, and know what a true athlete wants by her side," says Tom Gocke, OGIO's global vice president of golf. "Our Cougar is not an afterthought accessory designed as an add-on to a clothing or shoe line. This is a bag designed from the bottom up, for a woman who takes her sport seriously, without necessarily taking herself as such."

The bag is available in White Plaid (a plaid-on-black combination), along with lavender blocking on a black-and-white background and a Brown Plaid accented with soft touches of pink.

In addition to the Cougar, OGIO's 2009 women's golf collection features remixed versions of three popular models:

The Shadow Cart Bag (MSRP: $210) stands 36.5 inches tall and weighs in at 7.6 lbs. Tucked within its sleek silhouette are a gadget-lovers' bounty of details including a Zipperless Ball Pocket, TORQ cart stability strap, individual full-length dividers, and nine pockets -- seven of which are zippered. The Shadow is available in Greyhound (houndstooth-check grey/white/black), Black Vines and Cherry Vines.

The Diva Stand Bag (MSRP: $180) is back with the addition of OGIO's catch-free ArcLite stand system and an internal Lift Grip. The 36-inch tall bag offers eight pockets, including a removable accessory pouch, plus devoted space for many of the game's accessories including gloves, putter covers, pens, scorecards, umbrellas, and more. The Diva is available in White Plaid, Pink and Sand.

The Featherlite Stand Bag (MSRP: $140) features a Woode top that caps this bag in a "Lite" model, while full-length three-way dividers protect shafts inside the bag. OGIO's proprietary Crossbow Lite shoulder strap system facilitates comfortable transport off course and between holes. Available in Cherry Vines, Greyhound and Lavender.
