OGIO Goes to Gotham

GothamWe heard about OGIO’s Gotham line of golf bags earlier this year. These were unveiled in January at the PGA 2014 Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., the Stand Bag and Cart Bag feature OGIO’s cutting-edge, revolutionary design and technology. The bags are now arriving at retail and you don’t need to be Batman to pick one up.

“There is a lot more to golf than driving for show and putting for dough; golfers today want to represent ‘their look’,” commented Tom Gocke, OGIO’s Global Golf VP. “Combined with a proprietary blend of exotic water, stain repellent fabrics and evolutionary construction techniques, the Gotham golf bag collection delivers a head turning appearance with a feather-light feel.”

The bag collection reduces the zippers to make for a sleek design, while it offers six interior protected pockets for easy access to balls, tees, valuables and any additional golf gear. And yet this bag weights less than four pounds and features OGIO’s four point-strap system and 7-way Holster performance top with side putter pit. We noted this could appeal to a particular caped crusader when we first heard about the bag. If Batman were going to play golf we’d expect him to have some super hero worthy golf bag and the Gotham golf bag collection might just be it. And yeah, we think Robin would make one good caddy.

PGA 2014 Merchandise Show: It’s In the Bag

OGIO-GothamBatman likely doesn’t have time for golfing – you know with all that crime fighting stuff he does. Alter ego Bruce Wayne probably does swing a bit, at least to keep up appearances. Either way OGIO has just the bag for billionaire crime-fighting playboys.

Introduced last week at the PGA 2014 Merchandise Show in Orlando the OGIO Gotham golf bag collection features both stand and cart bags, which combine a proprietary blend of fabrics and construction techniques that will make every golfer feel like a superhero.

The Gotham includes innovative speed zippers for easy access to balls and tees, and creatively placed internal storage compartments (something we suspect a crime fighter might appreciate). The Gotham collection also features OGIO’s four point-strap system for the ultimate in carrying comfort – because not everyone has the strength of a superhero.

Interbike 2013: Triple 8 Goes Four

Triple-EightWe’re not exactly good at math, but Triple Eight announced at Interbike this week that it is expanding its Bike Line with four new helmets. These include the new Gotham (above), which offers a mix of style, comfort and safety for the urban/commuter market. This helmet features a subtle brim and Triple Eight logo vent, along with a custom Adjustable Fit Dial System, patented Conehead EPS liner technology plus reflective branding for safety.

In addition the lineup includes the lightweight in-mold design Compass, which will be good for those heading out to the trails or just a cruise through town. This MTB helmet features greater head coverage than traditional bike helmets and an Adjustable Fit Dial System to provide a secure, custom fit no matter how rugged the terrain. The Invader takes up it up a notch and is for those who want to make a full blown assault on bombing hills or hitting jumps, while the Lil 8 is for those younger riders, and is dual certified for toddler skaters and riders. It even offers the Adjustable Fit Dial System because the little ones should have a great fit too.
