On the hunt for a new carry bag as my Benross bag is giving up. :(

Has anyone on here tried either the Sun Mountain H2NO 14-way, or the Nike Air II Hybrid 14-way? If you have, I'd be interested to hear how it feels on your back, plus the weight - these 14-way bags seem to be a pound or two more than some others but does one pound really matter? Also interested if anyone uses them as a trolley as I am probably 50/50 carry/trolley. The Nike I imagine will go onto a trolley just fine, that's the point of this model after all, but not sure on the H2NO?

Any other suggestions welcome too, I'd like to get a 14-way if possible (hence the two that I've mentioned) but there aren't that many around.

Have a Sun Mountain 4:5. 14 way divider, swings both ways easily enough. Most importantly a really solid quality product.

Had a Nike Hybrid before. Same usage, bit of both. Looked the part but flimsy in comparison, zips in particular.

Doubt I'll buy anything but Sun Mountain again.
 
I have the h2no, it's a great bag, everything is organised. I find it light and comfortable. I don't use it on a trolley, I don't think it works that well, so I have another sun mountain bag.

The motocaddy carry bag works equally well carrying or on the trolley, they are a bit heavier to carry tho'

I have this (hybrid) and yeah, it's a decent bag. Has the twist lock system thing for the trolley but it does look feeble when it's mounted :D. Originally tried to keep myself down to one bag but the storage was limited for summer. In winter though you ain't carrying it as you're wearing it. Decent enough bag.
 
Ive tried a couple in the past and its fine if you use a trolley now and again, but carrying all the time they weighed a ton. i wouldn't get one again, i now have a lighter weight carry bag for when i do carry and a bigger tour bag for use on a trolley.

Yep, that's how I do it now too.
 
I have the H2NO for the winter and it fits on my Motocaddy M1 no problem, alternate between trolley and carry depending on course conditions, superb bag, highly reccomended.

Don't understand 14-wayers. Clubs make considerably more noise and clatter and it's a pain to get clubs in and out. Give me a 4-way any day!

H2NO is 14 way and never had an issue getting clubs in and out, less noise as well no clatter, but that might be because of the iron covers😃

Are the 14-way dividers on the H2NO full length, that's the key, if people struggle with clubs in & out of a 14-way, it's because there not full dividers.

LOL, I feel I have to ask this. Is it you or the bag that swings both ways :)
 
Cheers for the input everyone, think I'm going to give the Sun Mountain a go. I actually like the suggestion of an extreme lightweight plus a cart bag but I can't afford to hang about, need to get one ordered straight away as I don't think the old bag has as much as a round left in it. I discovered the strap pulling away and a big hole in the side fairly early in Sunday's round and was amazed it lasted the full 18 tbh.

Those that are saying 14-way is a pain to get clubs in and out, I don't quite get that? The clank thing I can understand but not the clubs getting tangled. I have a 6-way right now with full length dividers and I still find myself quite often having to pull 2 or 3 clubs out in order to re-arrange the bottom of the bag. Now that's not the greatest hardship in the world, of course, but I'm intrigued, how can that get better with a 4-way? Surely they will get more tangled, not less?
 
14 way Ping Hoofer. Love mine, usually a bag only lasts 12 months as I play a lot. Bag is now going on for 15 month with very little signs of use. Should be able to see another season of use before changing

I've ordered a 2016 H2NO 14-way full length devide carry bag today from AG who always look after me, should arrive in less than 5 days 👍

I know it's no big deal, but after using a 14 way divider bag once, I just thought it looked rubbish.

Would be boring if we were all the same though.
