Big Max makes quality push carts, golf bags and accessories and are one of the market leaders in Europe for those products. I admit, anytime I have been asked to test and review any Big Max product I have been impressed by the quality and functionality and the Dri Lite Silencio Prime is no exception to this.
While testing over multiple rounds anyone who saw the bag asked who made it and were surprised it was a Big Max, which traditionally has more bold and brash branding. The Silencio is understated and sleek looking. I really loved the Off-White Color I tested and it is my favorite out of the three colors available: Taupe and Black.
Let’s get to performance, the club divider section has 14 slots where your clubs can sit that protects each individual club, it even has a larger slot for a putter with an oversized grip. As the name suggests you won’t hear a peep of club rattle. This style of club divider is not what I would usually go for because…it is not seen as very cool, like having iron covers isn’t seen as cool.
Us golfers are meant to spend thousands of pounds on clubs and then let them rattle and bash around like we don’t care, madness really! As someone who spends on protective casing for all my gadgets, I can now say I am a convert to this style of club divider. I don’t care if that’s cool of me, which makes me…cool.
Another aspect of this bag I was very impressed with was the storage, the 12 pockets cater to every whim a golfer may have, including a waterproof valuables pocket, a large cooler pocket which is perfect for big water bottle fans out there, dedicated pockets for rain gear and holders for an umbrella, glove and tees. What made the storage even better though was the flexibility of the pockets, the SoftGuard PU vegan leather is as the name suggests soft and flexible and not stiff and rigid like some cart bag pockets can be.
Lastly you don’t have to worry at all about opting for a lighter color because the material is easily wiped clean, meaning this is a bag that can be used all year round and kept looking like new. Yes, it is on the pricier side but for all the benefits, it’s worth it, so go on, treat yourself!
