Anybody been up close to these.....or have them? For the price I thought it might be worth giving them a shot.

Glad you asked this. Am I right in thinking the dri-lite are only water resistant and the Aqua are fully waterproof?

No shaft rub? My last couple of trolley bags were horrible on my clubs. Material and metal studs sticking out from the sides.

Wondering about the weight they are quoting on Clubhouse golf.....the dri-lite 7 is supposed to be resistant, the Aqua is supposed to be waterproof......but both are listed as the same weight although most waterproof bags of the same type are usually a bit heavier if they are waterproof.

I've got the dri-lite 14. It's brilliant. Lovely to carry. Great on a trolley.
It's water resistant not waterproof. But honestly if I needed to be confident on the difference I wouldn't be out! Can't recommend it enough.

Excellent brand & bag, I have the Aqua Hybrid, very light for a cart/carry bag. 100% waterproof, it’s been well tested and all contents were dry.

I've had the Aqua hybrid carry bag since last xmas - and no leaks so far. It's come through some pretty wet rounds and passed the test. It's quite heavy though for a carry bag.

I still wonder about the weight accuracy. But for the price....the ocean 7 looks like I might give it a shot. If it doesn't last very long I won't be out much. Although still also thinking about the Dri-lite 7....for £80...I can live with bringing it home and drying it out if it rains. I wouldn't think I would have to do much to get it dry.
Dri-lite 7- water resistant 1.7kilo
Aqua ocean 7- waterproof 1.7kilo
Aqua ocean 8- waterproof 2kilo
Hybrid- waterproof 2kilo assuming old model
Hybrid 2- waterproof 2.4 kilo
Dri-lite 7- water resistant 1.7kilo
Aqua ocean 7- waterproof 1.7kilo
Aqua ocean 8- waterproof 2kilo
Hybrid- waterproof 2kilo assuming old model
Hybrid 2- waterproof 2.4 kilo

Will do. It'll be the end of next week probably....but, it's not like people are playing a lot of golf...eh? I just figured I didn't really care if it was waterproof. I don't really play in the rain that much....usually just get caught in some rain while playing. If the bag gets wet I figure dump the clubs out, take what few items are in it and it should dry in the house in a few hours. Hoping to get 11-12 clubs in it (jumbomax x-small grips)....if not....at least 10 without driving myself nuts.

I have the older hybrid model and it's closer to 2.1kg. Weighed it on the bathroom scales when I bought it as it was noticeably heavier than my old bag (Nike hybrid - not waterproof). Waterproof bags all seem to weigh a bit more, c.0.5kg isn't much but you do notice it.

That's why I was heading for a few other bags. Several are in the 1.3 kilo range....the only one I could easily get hold of was the Mizuno k1-lo.....but at twice the price.

To be honest I've got used to the extra weight, it's the equivalent of having an extra half litre bottle of water in the bag.
However, if I go on a golf trip to Spain for example, where I know I'm going to be playing 3 or 4 days in a row and the weather is warm and sunny, I think I'll switch back to my old bag.

Anyone tried the dri lite hybrid bag? Looks ideal at first glance.
