I’ll be totally honest, I was not expecting this cooler to be as nice as it was. It’s easy to get caught up in brand perception and often times very difficult to break away from what you think you know about a brand. I used the word “think” intentionally, because what I thought I knew about Ozark Trail was not correct. Ozark Trail is proving to be a really solid competitor for outdoor products.
The Bindi’s light cast about 40 meters into the distance—not as far as the Spot but still far enough for her to navigate safely. The fairway on this short par 4 slopes heavily to the left side. This drivable par 4 gives you multiple options off the tee. Hitting driver could give you a great look at birdie, but it will also bring the bunkers short of the green into play. The wide fairway offers plenty of room for a safe layup shot and easy short iron or wedge into the green. These don’t cast very far into the distance—definitely not the promised 26 feet on high.
They didn’t hurt my shoulders as I carried the bag around with me. When my bag got wet from a few rides, it easily and quickly dried because of its thin material, I really liked that. The bag has one large compartment and then a smaller one on the front/side.
The Spot 400 has an IPX water-resistance rating of 8, which means it will work submerged in up to 1.1 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. We dropped the light into a shallow bucket of water and it continued to shine, even in the water. Do keep in mind that this degree of water protection is intended mostly for accidental exposure, not intentional underwater adventures. When we removed the Spot from the bucket, the battery casing was filled with moisture.
With this in mind, we’ve chosen the Black Diamond Wiz headlamp as our pick for kids. Rainbow lights make this kids headlamp fun to play with during camping trips or backyard adventures. Two center-line bunkers in the fairway split the hole between the low left side and the ozark trail canopy high right side. Staying left gives you a shorter distance to the hole, but the right side of the fairway gives you an elevated look to the green without having to carry the greenside bunkers on your approach. Don’t get distracted by the waterfalls in the background!
