Nike’s Lightest Golf Bag has Left Nothing Behind
BEAVERTON, Ore. (November 12, 2008) – Nike Golf continues to elevate product performance with the introduction of the lightest carry bag it has ever developed, the Nike Xtreme Element. Under the halo of Nike’s successful Xtreme Lite franchise, the Xtreme Element weighs less than four pounds and accommodates a full set of 14 clubs kept neatly in a six-way divider system.
Inspired by the cycling industry, Nike Golf has taken the same aluminum materials used in today’s bike frames and applied it to the exoskeleton frame of the Nike Xtreme Element bag, resulting in a lighter and more durable bag. The uppermost portion of the stand is made of nylon injected plastic that ensures further durability.
Possessing a sleek and sporty look, the Nike Xtreme Element has seven pockets that provide a generous amount of organized space for personal belongings. There is a water-resistant, fur-lined valuables pocket as well as a water bottle pocket to accommodate everything a golfer needs during a round. Nike Golf’s Woven Air technology in the double strap system is another element that lends itself to comfort throughout an entire round. To limit fatigue, the Xtreme Element features Nike’s patented swivel strap, which allows freedom of movement while carrying a fully loaded golf bag.
In addition to the aforementioned enhanced technology, the Nike Xtreme Element also offers the following features and technology benefits:
– 9-inch oval top
– 6-way divider system
– Durable yet lightweight, under 4 lbs
– Exoskeleton frame
– Lightweight fiberglass stand
– 7 pockets (including water-resistant, fur-lined valuables pocket and water bottle pocket)
– Nike’s patented Woven Air Technology in the double strap system
– Logo cresting compatible
