Golf bag rain hood things

[timd77]

I’m fed up of the rain hood on my bag. It’s a nightmare to get on, bit like a usb cable, you can guarantee whichever side I pop on first, it’s the wrong side, switch it around, nope, that doesn’t fit either, switch around again, it fits. And then it’s one of those that doesn’t fully open and so it’s fiddly to get clubs in and out. Yes, I’ve played in rain showers all day today and it’s fully fried my head!

Has anyone bought an after market/universal rain hood that has revolutionised their experience? If so, please recommend!

Do you not just leave it on there? I never have any faff with the hood because it just stays attached most of the year.

A friend has this and it's really good Sun Mountain

It's better than the rain cover that's standard with bags imo.

This, by Seaforth, is fantastic - yes, Vessel branded, but sure if you Google the manufacturer, you can get alternatives.

As long as you have a handle and legs it'll fit. The magnet closure, offering loads of adjustability is a superb feature.

Vessel make outstanding bags, but their rainhoods are awful, so I carry this with all of them.

God no, I hate the thing!

That looks decent, bit pricey but certainly worth considering!

I think maybe you just need a better bag.

My SM H2N0 Elite cart bag has a lovely rain hood. Easy to put on or take off, a full length zip and is way taller than any driver put into the bag.I leave it on all the way until the summer, or when we are in a dry spell.

Special mention to the Ping Hoofer, which has one in an elastic and its own stash pocket.

But you have to buy the bag…
