Sun Mountain was nice enough to send us two bags, one for us to review, and one for a friend of ours who plays on the LPGA. One of the hardest parts of travel for her is lugging her giant golf travel downtown san francisco hotels bag around. It s never easy trying to navigate through an airport with that huge bag. Since she carries a staff bag she tried the ClubGlider Pro because it is big enough to hold a staff bag. After heading off to different countries and stops within the US she had nothing but great things to say about the Sun Mountain bag. She said it has changed the way she travels with her clubs. Being able to roll the bag around the airport has been such a tremendous benefit for her and her crazy travel downtown san francisco hotels schedule.
After hearing her rave about the travel bag I couldn t wait to take a trip so I could try it too. Over the past couple of months I have traveled quite a bit and made sure to take my golf clubs and Sun Mountain travel bag with me. She wasn t lying, this bag is great! downtown san francisco hotels Having the retractable wheels makes all the difference in the world. It s so easy to get from point A to point B without dragging the bag on the ground or complaining that my arm hurts from lugging this giant bag around. Yes, I admit I normally complain about that a lot when I travel. One of the features I loved the most about the bag was that I never really needed to bend down. For some reason I can never remember to zip up my purse and there is nothing more annoying downtown san francisco hotels then bending over to pick up your bag, or fix your bag and then all the contents of my purse come flying out all over the place. I am sure the men reading this can t relate, but the ladies know what I am talking downtown san francisco hotels about.
After several uses on multiple flights our bags were still in great shape. Even with the rough treatment of the airlines the bags held up great and the bag looked and performed just like it did the day we took them out of the box. If we had to nit pick the only negative we found from the bag was the weight. Not because it was too heavy to carry, downtown san francisco hotels because the wheels make it light as a feather, but it did limit how many extra things we could throw into the bag along with our clubs before it was considered downtown san francisco hotels over weight by the airlines and then they could charge more. Technically you aren t supposed to have extra stuff in there anyhow so this really is a very minor issue and nothing that would deter either of us from using this bag or recommending downtown san francisco hotels it to others.
If you plan to travel with your golf clubs, even if just for one trip, I highly recommend taking a look at this bag. With a price tag ranging from $199-$299 depending on the style you choose the price might seem high but for what it gives you I think it s well worth. I promise your shoulders and back will thank you. For more information on the new Sun Mountain ClubGlider Travel Bag you can visit their website at www.sunmountain.com downtown san francisco hotels . Happy traveling!
Thanks for the writeup Morgan. I saw one of these traveling through ATL last week and the dude looked like he was on easy street. I ve never seen anything like it so I asked him about it. He said this was his 3rd trip with the Meridian model and it was still holding up to Delta s abuse. $250ish downtown san francisco hotels is too expensive for my travel habits, but the innovation cannot be argued. Awesome looking product.
Nice review downtown san francisco hotels GG! I have never owned a travel bag for my clubs but when that need arises in the near future, this one will definitely be in contention. Sounds like it really does make maneuvering around the airport significantly easier and that plus knowing my clubs are safe is near priceless in my mind.
Great review there GG!!! The LPGA player endorsment downtown san francisco hotels was really nice to hear about also. I have yet to have a need for a tavel bag, but hopefully that will change and this one will be on the top of my list.
Well that s an interesting design, finally someone has put some thought into a travel bag. I can t tell you how many times I ve had to take my hands off a travel bag for a second and before you can say crap it s tipped over and crushed a small child. Very insightful design Sun Mountain.
I m a newly converted Sun Mountain fan, having just purchased the h2no stand bag. Before deciding on this purchase, I might have said that this travel bag seems pretty expensive .but after seeing the quality of their products downtown san francisco hotels I can understand the price and recommend that travellers give this serious consideration!
