Sun Mountain H2NO Lite Speed Stand Bag £279.95

How does it give you the edge?

The first thing to note with the H2NO Lite Speed stand bag is just how light it is – a mere 2kg. But this isn’t at the cost of space. There’s still plenty of room for all your clubs via the four-way top. It’s clear that a great deal of thought has gone into its design. This is a proper golfer’s bag with everything in the right place.

Where this bag really comes into its own is on wet days. It will keep your clubs dry for hours in the rain. The rainhood, with a two-way zip, doesn’t just slip over the clubs before slowly working loose. There are Velcro attachments all the way around the top and a very secure one around the grab handle. All the seams are then taped and sealed. Even after 18 holes, you’ll find every grip remains dry. That’s a big help on bad weather days.

Other noteworthy features include a particularly sizeable ‘hydration pouch’ with room for a large bottle, and a velour-lined valuables pocket, which is divided in two so there are places for your loose change, phone and wallet. Elsewhere, the full-length clothing pocket easily accommodates your waterproofs and other gear while the glove/hat pocket is particularly deep.
